Montevideo, July 30. The three magistrates of the Uruguayan Court of Appeals that revoked the suspension of vaccination for children under 13 in Uruguay received threats.
As reported in a statement by the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ) of the South American country, judges Marta Gómez, Martha Alves de Simas and Mónica Bórtoli, who make up the Civil Court of Appeals for the 6th shift, were threatened by “notes or obituaries who arrived at their homes.
Although the highest body of the Judiciary pointed out that the details of the event are kept in reserve “to preserve the investigation that will seek to find the person or persons responsible”, it assured that the corresponding police complaint had already been filed by the president of the SCJ, John Perez Brigagni.
“What happened is linked to the sentence issued by the 6th Civil Court of Appeals on July 26, revoking a first instance sentence that suspended the vaccination campaign for children under 13 years of age for the prevention of the disease. produced by SARS-CoV-2,” the statement explains.
Last Tuesday, the Court of Appeals revoked the ruling by which Judge Alejandro Recarey suspended on July 7 the preventive inoculation against covid-19 to minors under 13 years of age after allowing the protection presented by a lawyer, despite that the vaccine was never compulsory in Uruguay.
In its ruling, the Court of Appeals highlighted that the lawyer who filed the amparo “has no legitimacy” to promote this action, “neither in his capacity as a lawyer and citizen, nor on behalf of the diffuse interests of minors under 13 year old”.
Likewise, it pointed out that there was no “illegitimacy” in the conduct carried out by the health authorities “for the purpose of preserving the health of the inhabitants in what constitutes their exclusive and exclusive competence, not being able to interfere with an organic system in what constitutes the exclusive sphere of competence of another system”.
The sentence had been celebrated by a group of opponents of vaccination in children, who, with banners reading phrases such as “Children are our future, not your experiment” demonstrated outside the Court where Recarey received the parties.
The ruling in the first instance was rejected both by the secretary of the Presidency, Álvaro Delgado, and by the Uruguayan president himself, Luis Lacalle Pou, and by numerous groups of doctors, pediatricians and scientists in the country.
Once the revocation was confirmed, at a press conference, the Minister of Public Health, Daniel Salinas, asked the population to be “very careful” when talking about vaccines and was emphatic in his statement that these “are not experimental” and they have “graphenes” or “digital nanoelements”. EFE
