Covid 60, The CDC Ph Covid Summit, Nov. 25, Vivere Hotel, Alabang

The Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines (CDC Ph) will hold its first ever "Covid Summit" this coming November 25, Thursday, full-day event, at Vivere Hotel, Alabang, Muntinlupa.  All speakers are doctors, about five from the US including one Pinay doctor in Florida, Doc Marivic Villa (she's Bicolana) flying in and speak in person. The other US doctors -- Peter McCullough, Pierre Kory, Sabine Hazan, Ryan Cole -- will speak online. But there might still be changes in the speakers.

It's called a "Covid Summit" because speakers are known (sort of summit) doctors, national and international, in Covid management and make hospital patients survive. Also prevent hospitalization via early treatment at home. Local doctors speaking include Docs Allan Landrito, Raffy Castillo, and CDC Ph President Doc Homer Lim.



The group will invite DOH Sec. Francisco Duque to give a welcome message, we hope he will accept. PCCI-Muntinlupa has provided some modest support in kind for this event. Thank you, PCCI-Muntinlupa.

Now, see this recent document:

IATF RESOLUTION 148-B, Series of 2021 (November 11, 2021)

WHEREAS,...

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, as it is hereby resolved, in compliance with the directives of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the IATF approves the following measures to the extent applicable under existing laws, rules, and regulations:

A. In areas where there are sufficient supplies of COVID-19 vaccines as determined by the National Vaccines Operation Center (NVOC), all establishments and employers in the public and private sector SHALL REQUIRE their eligible employees who are tasked to do on-site work to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Eligible employees who remain to be unvaccinated may NOT be terminated solely by reason thereof. However, they shall be required to undergo RT-PCR tests regularly AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE for purposes of on-site work. Provided that, antigen tests may be resorted to when RT-PCR capacity is insufficient or not immediately available.

B. As a condition for continuing their operations, public transportation services in the road, rail, maritime, and aviation sectors shall require ALL their eligible workers to be fully vaccinated.

C. Public and private establishments, even if not required by the Guidelines on the Implementation of Alert Levels System for COVID-19 Response in Pilot Areas to accommodate only fully vaccinated individuals, may nonetheless validly refuse entry and/or deny service to individuals who remain to be unvaccinated, or are merely partially vaccinated, despite being eligible for vaccination. Provided that frontline and emergency services shall continue to render assistance to all persons regardless of vaccination status.

D. Local Government Units (LGUs) are strongly enjoined to issue orders or ordinances to ramp up demand for vaccination by, among others, providing incentives for fully vaccinated individuals, and for business establishments which institute measures that promote vaccination among their employees and clients, and to the extent allowed by law, requiring proof of vaccination before individuals and/or entities may undertake or qualify for certain activities.

E. Upon sufficient proof of a confirmed vaccination schedule, all workers to be vaccinated during work hours shall not be considered as absent during that period.

F. In all of the foregoing, only the presentation of a medical clearance issued by a Municipal Health Office, City Health Office, and/or Provincial Health Office or birth certificate, as the case may be, shall serve as sufficient and valid proof of ineligibility for vaccination. 

G. All Government Agencies are hereby enjoined to implement measures prioritizing fully vaccinated individuals availing of government programs and services.


My three quick comments: (1) IATF has legislated mandatory vax on its own and skipped the regular legislative process, (2) IATF can do technical elusion by saying they are not doing mandatory vax, only mandatory regular tests at person's expenses. That vax is available if the person changes mind. And (3) government can always pressure private establishments otherwise they will have difficulty getting their annual business permits.

The narrative -- No natural immunity, only vax immunity -- can protect people is very corrupt. People who got natural infection and have no symptoms, or mild/serious symptoms and survive, develop 
natural immunity which is more long-lasting and not risk getting short- to long-term adverse reactions from experimental vax.

Businesses who don't believe in mandatory vax are helpless, they need business permits yearly from Brgy to City/Municipality to national like BIR. Public transpo drivers too like jeeps, tricycles.
Only those in the informal sector can escape, temporarily. Farmers, fisherfolks, ambulant vendors. 

Praktisado na sa coercion, bawal dito bawal doon si Government. No smoking here, no drinking there, no fire permit unless you get your extinguisher from their friends, etc. So imposing hard lockdown, now mandatory vax via discrimination, is easy for them.

This kind of political dictatorship and medical tyranny has no precedent yet it happened. Meaning the tyranny will keep recurring. Like forcing 3rd or 4th booster shots, mandatory vax for children and toddlers. Horrible.
