Lacson on Sinovac vaccine: Our officials were both tongue-tied and stuttering. I could not understand why we are being kept in the dark with the price negotiations with Sinovac while our neighboring countries cannot be more transparent about it
Lacson says countries like Thailand and Indonesia have been transparent with their vaccine procurement of Sinovac
Thailand has procured the Sinovac vaccine for ₱683. 30 and ₱240, respectively.

Lacson: Will somebody explain the ₱1,814.75 per dose price of Sinovac vaccine?
Lacson: It appears that our initial lock in agreement will not be covered by the ludicrous 300% markdown
Lacson says he is not accusing anyone of corruption: It defies logic to suspect an attempt to overprice the vaccine.

Lacson: When there's an attempt at overpricing, isn't it logical to think na may kikita ng limpak limpak?
Lacson: Our vaccine program officials brought more confusion and bewilderment in their rush to procure Sinovac
Lacson notes that Sinovac still has no FDA approval and has no clinical phase three trial results for EUA
RELATED: Pfizer is the first developer to be granted emergency use authorization (EUA) in the Philippines, while Sinovac, AstraZeneca, and Gamaleya have submitted their EUA applications https://t.co/PjMth4zeRT
Lacson presents a study of the efficacy rate of the Sinovac vaccine.

Lacson says Sinovac is one of the most expensive vaccines, yet it's efficacy rate falls behind the other brands: The issue of Sinovac is not just a matter of price but of efficacy
RELATED: A COVID-19 vaccine developed by China’s Sinovac Biotech was just 50.38% effective in late-stage trials in Brazil, significantly lower than earlier results showed, according to a statement published by the government of São Paulo https://t.co/tAReMnP3PR

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
