Philippines president threatens citizens who refuse take Covid vaccine, says 'Go to India, US’

Addressing the people of the Philippines, the country's Prime Minister Rodrigo Duterte has made a sensational statement. Rodrigo interacted with his citizens to convince them of the importance of vaccination. Duterte on Tuesday threatened his citizens with jail time if they refused to get vaccinated, adding that those who don’t should leave the country and go to India or the US.

This time, Rodrigo slammed the citizens for refusing to take the anti-corona vaccine. But one of his statements has caused a stir on social media. "Arrest those who avoid vaccination and forcibly vaccinate them. Those who do not want to be vaccinated should leave the country and go to India or anywhere else in the United States, "said Philippine Prime Minister Rodrigo Duterte.

In the Philippines, 4,353 new corona patients were registered in one day yesterday. In the last 14 days, more than 86,000 corona cases were found in the country. The Prime Minister of the Philippines was furious with the citizens for avoiding vaccinations. The population of the Philippines is only 100 million.

"Don't get me wrong. The country is facing a big crisis right now. A national emergency situation could arise. If you do not want to be vaccinated, I order the arrest of such citizens. They will be arrested and vaccinated. We are already facing a crisis. You don't add to the burden by avoiding vaccine. Don't force me to make tough decisions," Rodrguez said.

"There are some stupid people in the country who don't want to be vaccinated against corona and these are the people who are the spreaders of corona. "They have to go to India or else they can go somewhere else," he said.
