Iminungkahi ni Senator Joel Villanueva ngayong Huwebes na magsama sa isang infomercial sina Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at Vice-President Leni Robredo upang hikayatin ang mga Pilipino na magpabakuna laban sa COVID-19.
Saad ni Villanueva, “Ang isang mungkahi po natin, maglabas ng isang joint public service announcement ang pangulo at ang bise-pangulo. This is the kind of ad that will be effective in convincing a large part of our population that vaccines are safe.
“Ito po ang tambalang nakikita nating mabisa na pangontra sa mga fake news. Both are vaccine recipients, and are living proof that vaccines do no harm.
Ito ang naisip na suhestiyon ni Villanueva matapos ianunsiyo ng Department of Health (DOH) na sasabihin lamang sa recipient ang vaccine brand bago sila bakunahan upang maiwasan ang overcrowding at siksikan sa mga vaccination sites.
Aniya pa, “Vaccine agnosticism will not work without vaccine advocacy. We have to educate before we inoculate. Sadly, much still needs to be done in this area. There is only one vaccine against fake news and that is truth told in a convincing manner.
“But the biggest problem actually is not brand rejection among the people, but vaccine hesitancy in general. Informed choice cannot be substituted with a ‘take-it-or-leave-it’ policy.”
