[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] As another disruption occurs in the domestic supply of COVID-19 vaccines, causing confusion such as the interval between the first and second doses extending from the original 4 weeks to 8 weeks, the People Power Party criticized, "How many lies is the Moon Jae-in administration telling?"

On the 9th, Lim Seung-ho, spokesperson for the People Power Party, posted on his Facebook a post titled "Looking for the 44 million doses of vaccines secured by Go Min-jung, Democratic Party lawmaker," saying, "Even the 'boy who cried wolf' in Aesop's fable stopped lying after two times. Calling the Moon Jae-in administration a 'boy who cried wolf government' is almost an insult to the boy who cried wolf."

He pointed out, "Due to Moderna's vaccine production setbacks, less than half of the 8.5 million doses scheduled for supply in August can be delivered within August," and added, "Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum's boast that '8.5 million doses of Moderna vaccine will be introduced on time' has turned out to be a lie."

Then, Spokesperson Lim said, "Suddenly, I recalled the banner of lawmaker Go that misled the public with '44 million doses secured for vaccination!'"

Earlier, in December last year, lawmaker Go hung a promotional banner in her constituency, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, stating "COVID-19 vaccine, 44 million doses secured," which was criticized for being factually inaccurate.

Spokesperson Lim directly addressed lawmaker Go, saying, "In which 'storehouse' have you stored the secured vaccine doses?" and added, "If you store vaccines in a storehouse, they are bound to spoil."

Meanwhile, Moderna vaccines are currently facing supply disruptions. The COVID-19 Vaccination Response Promotion Team announced at a regular briefing that day, "Recently, Moderna informed us that due to laboratory issues related to vaccine production, less than half of the 8.5 million doses planned for supply in August will be delivered."
