Government spokesman Jaime Bellolio met the voices that emerged in some sectors that criticized the "excessive role" of President Sebastián Piñera in the operation that brought the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine against covid-19 to the country, with which They affirm that it seeks to reverse the poor evaluation of citizens in the polls. The President, accompanied by the ministers Enrique Paris (Health), Andrés Couve (Science), Rodrigo Delgado (Interior), and Andrés Allamand (RR.EE.), in addition to the undersecretaries Paula Daza (Public Health) and Katherine Martorell (Prevention Crime), was in charge of receiving the first 10,000 doses in Group 10 of the FACH. Then, he will attend the start of the vaccination process at Hospital Metropolitano.

"Obviously there will always be detractors who will say one criticism and another, but they are the same ones who told us at the beginning of the pandemic that the only way to deal with it was with what the Argentine government was doing: having a prolonged, total quarantine. We said that that was not the mechanism and, well, time has proved us right, "he started pointing. He added that in the negotiations to obtain the injection, the delivery of which will begin in three Santiago hospitals this Friday, to be distributed and inoculated to officials of critical patients units in the Biobío, La Araucanía and Magallanes regions, "President Piñera left in May concerned for vaccines.

 

 

" "That they have arrived does not benefit the government, but the people, that we have better security laws is not for the government, it is for the people," stressed the Secretary of State on Radio Agriculture. "I think they are very small criticisms, because the President of the Republic began in May to worry about ensuring that Chile had the first vaccines, and that gives results. When there is methodical work, for the good of the people and it is done with effort , energy and the right professionals, what is achieved today is achieved, "he said.

Finally he indicated: "So that excessive prominence ... the President has been a protagonist in the search for vaccines, yes, of course he has. And today what was seen in the morning at the airport is an absolutely sober staging ". "I would hope that the Christmas mood would infect them a little bit of joy and not bitterness, because that the first doses of the vaccines have arrived is good news, it is not bad news for some to return with the same monstrosity to criticize everything", concluded. One of the questions came from the Medical College, whose president, Izkia Siches, described the operation that surrounded the landing of the commercial plane that brought the first 10,000 doses from Belgium as a "great staging". "We have asked that, hopefully, this is a somewhat sober process," said the doctor.
