Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to send Philipino anti-vaxxers to jail as the country’s border controls are placed on “heightened alert” as new cases of the Delta variant appear.
“You can choose: you get the vaccine or I will send you to jail,” Duterte said in Tagalog during a pre-recorded address on Monday (21 Jun) night.
He had also threatened to use shots for pigs’ on Filipinos who refuse to get inoculated.
Admitting that he is growing exasperated by “these fools”, who refused to get vaccinated, he threatened to inject them “with shots intended for pigs”.
“You are all stubborn.”
