[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 14th, the People Power Party stated regarding the securing of COVID-19 vaccines, "If people come first, then vaccines come first."

In a commentary on the same day, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said, "It has been revealed that the so-called K-quarantine is a sandcastle built with 12 billion won in government publicity expenses," adding, "Meanwhile, other countries have prepared cement called vaccines and started building dikes. Now, the K-quarantine will disappear without a trace in the COVID-19 tsunami."

Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "The UK has started vaccinations. Bahrain, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and the United States have sequentially approved vaccine use. The US and Canada will begin vaccinations this week," and added, "The government says that at the earliest, vaccinations will be possible in February or March next year. Experts’ opinions that vaccines are urgently needed have been ignored, leading to this situation. Moreover, even the vaccines that have been secured are suspected to be ineffective vaccines whose safety has not been guaranteed."

Spokesperson Bae urged Minister of Health and Welfare Park Neung-hoo, "Engage in close consultations with the 11 vaccine developers, including Moderna and Pfizer, and devise ways to obtain vaccines faster even now," and stated, "Secure production lines and consider domestic mass production of foreign vaccines."

Regarding Minister of Foreign Affairs Kang Kyung-wha, Spokesperson Bae said, "Exert diplomatic efforts to receive surplus vaccines secured by other countries," and questioned, "Is this the time to be quarreling with Kim Yo-jong, First Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of North Korea, over COVID-19?"
