Angara stressed that the inclusion of such provision is not in anticipation that Filipinos will develop such side effects. The indemnification fund will just be a guarantee that the government would be ready to shoulder the responsibility in case of any possible untoward event that would happen in administering the vaccine.
Angara pointed out that since vaccine development usually takes up to Phase 4 clinical trials, the World Health Organization and the Philippines’ Food and Drug Administration have already given emergency use authority for some vaccines even without completing all phases. Angara, chairman of the Senate finance committee and sponsor of Senate Bill No. 2057, said this does not mean Filipinos will definitely develop serious side effects when they take the vaccines.
Which is openly stupid and irresponsible. Most companies attach a guarantee to their products while this Pharma co. are avoiding liability for what they created.
Obviously. The Manufacturer pass on the liability to the Government. A wake up call to our Government in fully supporting all our scientist and medical experts in producing a vaccine. 'Iwas sa malaking gastos at hawak sa leeg ng mga malalaking Company.'
Because?
