Malacañang stands by the country's commitment to achieve population protection within the year amid a report from a United Kingdom-based think tank saying herd immunity will only be possible in two years given the current pace of vaccination

"Allow us to prove the think tank wrong...containment, population protection within the year," Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in a briefing on Wednesday.

UK think tank Pantheon Macroeconomics published a report on Monday stating that based on its current vaccination rate, the Philippines can reach herd immunity by early 2023. Around 85% have to be immunized to control the Delta variant, it added.

Its the biggest bulshit ever spread 😂😂😂

It's like another Roque's 'nanalo na tayo sa UP' when UP OCTA predicted 40,000 cases by end of June 2020, in which UP OCTA's predictions were consistently accurate. PH will lose again vs the UK think tank prediction.

Palace: COVID-19 vaccination could be mandatory, but Duterte not eyeing law for it yetWhile crafting a law making COVID-19 vaccination compulsory can easily be requested from Congress, Malacañang hopes it does not have to reach that point. Let's hope that others will realize the significance of getting vaccinated for us to do what we used to before the pandemic struck the world. Its the biggest lying of the history there wil be new variants al the time the vaccines do not protect u against that variants .! Just in ! Delta variant becomes global no vaccin against it yet !!!
