the owner of the Office of the Administrative Investigation Attorney (PIA), Sergio Rodríguez, denounced in court that more than 1,200 people were irregularly vaccinated against the coronavirus. The complaints – a total of five – aim to determine who was responsible for the application of the doses.
Rodríguez is an assistant prosecutor in the cause who investigates Eduardo Taiano next to the judge Maria Eugenia Capuchetti. A section of the investigation has already been filed by the judge, considering that the fact that officials and people who belonged to the so-called risk group have been inoculated without having a shift does not constitute a crime. Many of those inoculated had been registered as health personnel and as strategic personnel in the Posadas Hospital and in hospitals in the Federal Capital, Lomas de Zamora, Quilmes, Morón and Mercedes. These complaints, however, were filed in the courts of each of these jurisdictions, and therefore are not under the purview of the case that Capuchetti and Taiano are pursuing.
That ruling by Judge Capuchetti had been appealed by Rodríguez and later revoked by the Federal Court, which ordered the judge to deepen the investigation. Until now, Justice was working to determine in which other national hospitals they inoculated officials and friends of power in advance.
as he knew THE NATION from judicial sources, For example, situations were observed in which people registered as “people aged 60 or over” did not correspond to that category..

In the complaints, Sergio Rodríguez clarified that the responsibility for the application of the vaccines to people who did not belong to the risk groups or the categories “health personnel” or “strategic personnel” rests with the officials who facilitated them..
“It is possible to attribute to said officials –in principle, and without prejudice to what may arise from the investigation– each individual decision to inoculate people in an allegedly irregular manner not contemplated in the corresponding segment of the Strategic Plan, as well as the execution of each of the those decisions. Without prejudice to this, the possible action of other national public officials in the maneuver should not be ruled out from this table”, considered the head of the PIA.
In the case of the Morón Hospital, for example, Rodríguez said: “In relation to the 79 registered under the category “Persons 60 years of age or older”, it was confirmed that 2 of those doses were applied to 2 people who are -voluntarily- registered in REFEPS. Finally, regarding It was confirmed that the remaining 77 doses were applied to 77 people who would not have functions in that hospital institution nor would they be registered -voluntarily- in the REFEPS”.
When the vaccine scandal broke out that led to the resignation of the former Minister of Health Gines Gonzalez Garciathe health doctor in charge of the management of Hospital Posadas, Alberto Maceira, tried to downplay to irregular acts. A year after the scandal, Maceira resigned from his post “for strictly personal reasons.”
