Philippines’ Duterte threatens vaccine decliners with jail, animal drug

“I’ll have you arrested and I’ll inject the vaccine in your butt.”

MANILA, June 22 (Reuters) – Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, frustrated by the slow pace of COVID-19 vaccinations in his country, threatened people who refuse to get inoculated with jail or an injection of Ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug widely used to treat animals.

Ivermectin has been touted as an alternative treatment for COVID-19 but U.S. and European regulators and the World Health Organization (WHO) have recommended against it.

“You choose, vaccine or I will have you jailed,” Duterte said in a televised address late on Monday, following reports of low turnout at several vaccination sites in the capital Manila.

“But for as long as you are here and you are a human being, and can carry the virus, get vaccinated.

“Otherwise, I will order all the village captains to have a tally of the people who refuse to be vaccinated. Because if not, I will have Ivermectin meant for pigs injected into you.” more

    So there is ONE THING I don’t agree with. His country, his rules.

    I Took both shots because I HAD to. I worked every Day and made money for my kids. No side effects yet. They will force it in Canuckistan Period. This ain’t the USA and we DO NOT HAVE a Desantis or similar. We also have no 2a and technically no Freedom of the press since Turdeau Bought it and legislated it.
