Iprinisinta ni Sen. Richard Gordon, chairman ng komite ang 20 pahinang draft report sa mga mamamahayag.
“Aquino, Garin, Abad and other officials are primary conspirators and must be held criminally liable because as succinctly put by the Old Spanish legal maxim ‘El que es causa dela causa, es causa del mal causado’- he who is the cause of the case, is the cause of the evil caused—- and must be prosecuted for all the tragedy, damage and possible death resulting from the Dengvaxia mass vaccination program,” sabi ni Gordon habang binabasa ang draft report.
Idinagdag ni Gordon na dapat kasuhan sina Aquino, Garin, Abad at iba pang opisyal ng paglabag sa Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act at Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.
Kasama rin sa pinakakasuhan ay Julius Lecciones, ng Philippine Children’s Medical Center.
“The purchase was also done without adequate research on the background and track record of the supplier, Sanofi-Pasteur,” sabi ng draft report.
Sa panahon ni Aquino ipinatupad ang Dengvaxia program kung saan nabakunahan ang 830,000 mga bata mula Marso 2016 hanggang Hunyo 2016 .
“Aquino is responsible because he had caused the purchase of Dengvaxia and in the process caused irreversible damage, possibly death to children; anxiety, sleepless nights, n mental anguish and unnecessary expense on the part of parents and guardians,” ayon pa sa draft report.
“He was the one who decided to buy it. They spent P3.5 billion of taxpayers’ money to buy a largely untested drug against one disease. A discerning and well-intentioned leader would have exercised greater caution and paused considering the cost (P3.5 billion) for only one vaccine,” sabi pa ng draft report.
