Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. did not minced word in expressing his opposition over the botched plan of the government to vaccinate some “influencers” to boost public confidence in COVID-19 vaccines.
In a tweet, Locsin, a former lawmaker, said the plan is “ridiculous” and the government should instead give the vaccine jabs to the most vulnerable and poor.
“Ridiculous. One man’s influencer is another’s fool. Forget it. Give it to the vulnerable. And poor,” Locsin wrote.

Government spokesman Harry earlier revealed that the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease came up with a list of “influencers” that included him, other government officials, as well as media personalities and celebrities to take the anti-coronavirus shots.
But the interim National Immunization Technical Advisory Group rejected the proposal, saying that the vaccines should go to medical frontliners.
