An unbelievable vaccine tale

THE Philippine Covid-19 vaccine story is getting to be both a tragedy and a comedy.

It is a tragedy because up until now — except for a very few doses to be delivered in April or May 2021 — the country still does not know from where and when we will get enough vaccines to achieve herd immunity from Covid-19. This late procurement clearly means that the country will continue to lose many more lives and experience much longer economic difficulties.
