Few politicians today take a step forward and position themselves on issues such as the coronavirus, however, Gabilondo He has done it in a very clear way.
“I do not know that the right to infect has been declared. Therefore, I understand that a debate can be opened. A debate on whether one has, out of respect for their own body, the right to infect an entire subway car. “These are the exact words with which Ángel Gabilondo has expressed himself regarding mandatory vaccination.
The Ombudsman He had previously stated that “individual rights should not harm the most vulnerable” and he was sympathetic to the fact that professionals in the health sector or residences could be forced to get vaccinated against coronavirus.
The government does not consider mandatory vaccination
The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, discard that vaccination against the coronavirus is mandatory in Spain because the situation in our country is “absolutely different” from that of the countries that are beginning to implement this measure.
Darias has expressed that “we are the country with the highest vaccination coverage, not only in the European Union but in the world, with about 90% of those over 12 years of age with full vaccination. We are also leading the booster doses. There is a very high responsibility of the Spanish, who understand vaccination not only as a right but even as an obligation, because they protect themselves and others as well. ”These statements were made after the Inter-territorial Council of the National Health System, in Córdoba.
The authorities continue to insist on the importance of vaccination to advance in the fight against coronavirus pandemic.
