They are the backbone of this vaccination process, ”he replied.
– “Doctor, confirm if it is true or false, please. I spoke with the former president himself and he confirmed it. Did you authorize it or not? ”Asked La Prensa.
The question was left unanswered. Instead, he said: “I am in the Cabinet. I will call himself, when finished, and tell me. It’s something I find out from you. “
The Press insisted. Reminding him that the former president confirmed the news, Ruiz responded with a question: “Who did he ask (to be vaccinated)?”
The Press responded: “I don’t know. You are the one who runs Panavac. Don’t you have a record of vaccinations that are carried out outside of official places? ”. Ruiz replied: “The truth is, I direct the strategic part… It is humanly impossible to be behind the one million 460 thousand doses applied. The nurses always keep their records ”.
Immediately afterwards, this newspaper asked him if he had managed to speak with Miss Tuft. He replied that she was on a topic of the Expanded Program on Immunization and that he had not answered her. At press time, Ruiz did not respond again.
