the deputy Jenny Alvarez (PS) once again defended its position on not being vaccinated against Covid-19, arguing that “vaccinated people are also getting it”. In addition, it questioned the Mobility Pass.
Although she stated that she is not against vaccines, she stated in conversation with The latest news (MON) “Vaccines prevent diseases and prevent infections and eradicate diseases, but it turns out that people are tired of the fact that we have three doses and that we continue to get infected and people continue to die.”
“This so-called vaccine is acting as a preventive treatment. Maybe it prevents you from dying and prevents you from reaching the hospital in serious condition, but there are other treatments,” he continued.
“Vaccinated people are also getting infected and dying. I’m not saying it doesn’t help, it has helped, but not 100%. People who have contracted the virus acquire immunity. It is something proven. I already have immunity by being infected, “continued the legislator.
The infectologist from the University of Chile, Claudia Cortes, refuted the sayings of the deputy PS, indicating that “the Covid vaccine has achieved, with the Omicron variant, that there is less hospitalization and death, because it has achieved its objective, which is that the person becomes slightly ill”.
Mobility Pass
Álvarez also criticized the Mobility Pass, pointing out that “it is dangerous because it creates a false sense of security in all those who have completed their vaccination schedule. People think they are immune to the virus for that reason.”
“We have a large number of daily infections and 90% of people are vaccinated, how is that possible? The Ministry of Health has to take urgent measures to end the mobility pass, which creates a false sense of security,” he added. .
He also urged to continue with self-care measures. “Measures have to be taken such as maintaining distance, avoiding mass gatherings, which is all I have done at this time because I did not want to get infected,” he said.
PS describes his statements as “serious”
From the PS they described the statements of the parliamentarian as “serious” and that they do not represent the thought and behavior of the community.
“We believe that all public authorities, especially popular representatives, have a greater personal responsibility and must be examples of behavior in the midst of this pandemic that has already claimed so many lives. For this reason, it seems serious to us that the deputy insists on behavior that it can bring serious consequences to public health and to people, to whom we owe ourselves,” they said in a statement.
“As a Socialist Party we call on all our leaders to become active promoters of the vaccination process and thus comply with the principles of public servants that encourage all socialists,” they closed.
