Kim Jong-in: "President Moon should apologize for K-quarantine failure and focus on securing vaccines"
"'13-pyeong Public Rental Apartment Remarks: A National Betrayal'"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated on the 14th regarding the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), “Securing COVID-19 vaccines is a lifeline for the people,” and added, “President Moon Jae-in and the government should sincerely apologize to the public for the failure of K-quarantine, and even now, focus national power on diplomatic cooperation to secure vaccines in abundance or early negotiations with a third vaccine development pharmaceutical company.”
At the Emergency Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Chairman Kim said, “Considering the current situation, I think the government’s so-called K-quarantine has reached its limits,” and urged, “Please make a cold-headed judgment and establish a new quarantine system.”
Chairman Kim pointed out, “Especially regarding vaccines, the public is very skeptical about how to trust the government’s statements,” and added, “Some say that vaccinations will be possible by March next year, but in reality, since vaccines have not been secured, it is hard not to doubt whether this can be trusted.”
Chairman Kim said, “President Moon contributed to COVID-19 vaccine development last March, but the government should provide detailed reports to the public on the progress of vaccine development,” and demanded, “While countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have already started vaccinations, we require answers to the public’s curiosity about why vaccine development and purchase have not been properly done. Until recently, the Minister of Health and Welfare stated that the situation was not unfavorable for securing vaccines, which was a lie that deceived the public’s eyes and ears, greatly losing public trust. Please clarify how you will address this.”
