 Dumb idea: Lawmaker slams proposed ‘no vaccine, no work’ policy

By Billy Begas

Assistant Majority Leader and ACT-CIS Rep. Niña Taduran said the purported plan of some company to implement a ‘no vaccine, no work’ policy is a dumb idea.

“There is no basis for the ‘no vaccine, no work’ policy. The President himself said that nobody can be forced to be inoculated. Each person has the right to refuse to be vaccinated,” said Taduran.

She said that no one should be forced to get the vaccine in order to get work or maintain his job.

“Although I am encouraging everyone to erase the fear being attributed to the new vaccine, I still believe that vaccination against Covid-19 should be voluntary. Walang pilitan,” she added.

What the companies should do, Taduran said, is to make sure that their employees are strictly following the COVID-19 health protocols.

Taduran also pointed out that it is impossible to force employees to get vaccinated when there is no supply of vaccine in the country.
