House Deputy Majority Leader and Iloilo First District Representative Janette Garin has posted bail on Monday, saying that it is part of their “agonizing process to prove their inocence.”
“Posting bail is part of the agonizing process to prove our innocence. It is a crucial step in ensuring fair trial and safeguarding one’s rights,” Garin said.
“We hope that this first step into cleansing our name can be dealt with timely so that scientists and doctors can perform our regular tasks,” the lawmaker added.
Garin together with other medical experts have posted bail on cases of the alleged realignment of funds and alleged augmentation of funds for immunization, relating to Dengvaxia.
She also said that Dengvaxia issues have led to significant drop in vaccine confidence leading to measles and polio outbreak in the Philippines.
“Resolving the issue once and for all is aligned to the Doctors for Truth clamor because global history have taught us that any vaccine demonized, usually spreads to include other vaccine preventable diseases and results to outbreaks,” Garin pointed out.
