Room angry about mistakes with vaccination | Inland

De Jonge’s answer to ‘unfilled slots’ at the GGDs raises many questions, says MP Bergkamp of D66. “Make sure you approach enough people. That there are enough people in the call center. That if people don’t show up, you can still call others. ” Bergkamp’s eyebrows are raised by the fact that the minister will again come up with a promise to inject 500,000 this week. “You wonder: will this actually work?”

Passing the blame to the GGDs is too easy for Bergkamp. “The GGD in Amsterdam has all the capacity and enough vaccines in stock. Isn’t it the world upside down that too few people come? “

One and a half hour

“We are back at the back, despite repeated promises from De Jonge that we will do better,” said PVV leader Wilders. “That is irresponsible. That keeps us in the lockdown even longer and with full intensive care. ” His colleague Agema adds: “We hear that people who have their turn for an injection have to wait an hour and a half before they get someone on the phone. Or that they are unable to make an appointment at all. That is simply badly organized. ”

There is also anger in the House about the offer of the Leiden biotech company Halix, which produces part of the AstraZeneca vaccine. In April last year, the company approached the cabinet for a subsidy to increase production capacity. According to the NOS, on April 28, CDA MP Omtzigt, who had received the tip about Halix’s production capacity, had a conversation about this with Prime Minister Rutte in the Torentje. Negotiations ensued between the cabinet and the company, but in the end the deal fell through. “What a fumbling”, says Wilders. “How is it possible that the cabinet has missed this opportunity?” Wonders SP leader Marijnissen.

Europe

“Another example that the government has always responded too late and too cautiously and has constantly underestimated the crisis,” says PvdA MP Kuiken. “Rutte should have just accepted the offer, then we would have had more vaccines available now. Then we might already be out of the lockdown. Something we are all waiting for. ” We probably should have shared those extra vaccines with Europe. “But at least we would have had more. “We shouldn’t have been so cocky. I find it worrisome and resentful that this is now just another example. ”
