The lawyer José Casañas Levi said today that the fact of making a list with the names of the people who receive the doses against COVID-19 does not violate the right to privacy, because in this case what is sought is the transparency of the resources. He clarified that it should be limited to informing the names and not the disease that people suffer.

Levi stressed that people’s rights are designed in the Constitution so that they are protected when these rights are affected. “When we are in a situation like this, there are two interests: the general public interest, which is that of public health, and the public interest, which is that of people’s health, privacy,” he said.
“Although it is said that privacy is part of a right that must be protected, even so, the general interest will prevail, because that is what the Constitution says. The general interest in this case is the transparency of resources on a public health issue, which is the pandemic. But in this case, it cannot be said that there is a conflict either, because applying a vaccine to a person to protect him cannot in any way affect his privacy, “he said.

He clarified that the privacy of a person regarding their health could be being violated if they have, for example, access to information from the center that fights AIDS, or from people who have some type of chronic disease. In that case, it would be affecting their privacy, as explained by the professional.
“The data will be available for your control, in this case it is not talking about which person has such a disease. All the citizens of Paraguay have the right to receive this vaccine, a humanitarian criterion is simply established to put first the people who are in front of the health issue and the people who are most at risk. It is for a humanitarian issue and not because the rest have no right, “he said.
Help us control vaccination (because we don’t want VIP vaccinated). If you are staff in white and you received the vaccine, sign up RT ????
OBS: it is a parallel list to that of the government just to make sure that the 2000 vaccinated are professionals in white https://t.co/MS9PyKztT5

In addition to the list that will be published on the official website of the Ministry of Health, the public organized and prepared a parallel list with the aim of guaranteeing that the first 2,000 vaccinated are actually white personnel. This parallel list is being spread by Twitter.
