(☣️It will soon be very difficult in EC w, a pop of 17.5 million to avoid 9 to 11million super spreaders / super shedders - 'Viral Shedding' via the roll out of Sinovac 🉐 and Sputnik5 ⚒ that will soon be in abundance here just as soon as Lasso Lou 🤠takes over the reigns of power)⚜️

May 4, 2021- (CHL) 'In an interview, Lasso lays out his Covid vaccination plan and explains his position on abortion-

-...."Your biggest campaign promise is to vaccinate nine million people in one hundred days. Do you understand the current government’s vaccination program and the arrangements it has already made?

I wish this were clear but despite the fact my transition team has had several meetings with current officials we have limited information on the project. What I can tell you is that China has delivered one million doses and promises another million, for which I am grateful, but we need at least seven million more. I have also made requests with the Russian ambassador for Sputnik V vaccines and we are awaiting a response.

I have discussed this with the U.S. Secretary of State, and explained our objective for rebuilding the economy and the social fabric requires an effective vaccination program, and have asked him to sell us more doses.

The secretary estimates that in June there will be a better balance between supply and demand globally, and that about 60 million vaccines will be donated. In addition, I have spoken with friendly governments like Chile and asked for assistance with vaccines.

The Russian and Chinese vaccines still do not have the permits from the Arcsa [Ecuador’s drug review agency]. How will this be resolved?

We will take steps to get these approved immediately since they already have the endorsement of the World Health Organization. This is one of many bureaucratic issues we face in fighting the pandemic.

Is the lack of information about the vaccines repeated in other areas of the governmental transition process?

It saddens me to say but the answer is yes. Although there is good faith on the part of the vice president, who leads the current government’s transition team, we feel we are not getting entirely reliable information.

At the same time, I have decided to create an executive unit led by Carlos Cueva, to help in the vaccination process, ad honorem, coordinating with the Ministry of Health and the Foreign Ministry.

It is my intention to be personally involved in the vaccination program, personally and through my delegates. In addition to the vaccines themselves, we need an effective epidemiological plan and a logistics plan.

If the Covid-19 cases continue at a high level, how will you handle states of emergency, lockdowns and restrictions on mobility? There is a proposed law currently before the Assembly to regulate these aspects; have you reviewed it?

I do not want to speculate on the impact of the new law. The key factor to control the pandemic is vaccination, and this will be my focus. It is essential for the reactivation of the economy. On the other hand, I have contacted the United Nations to replicate the practices of the countries that have managed the pandemic the best and intend to follow these best practices.

Have you been vaccinated?

No. After I vaccinate nine million people I will get my own.

Who do you think will preside over the National Assembly?

The one chosen by the Assembly members. That is their power. What I can tell you is that César Monge, who is the president of my party, CREO, has been in charge of dialogs with different sectors.

Are the dialogs also with the Correistas? Assemblyman Francisco Jiménez has talked about a pardon for Rafael Correa. Is that so?

Let me be clear. I will never protect or favor anyone, nor will I grant impunity to anyone or persecute anyone or intervene in a trial. Those who are in jail, let them stay there. Those who have a sentence should pay their due.

That said, we must be open to dialog with all Ecuadorians, not just the 52% who voted for us. In this political climate, you have to talk to everyone without crossing the red lines that I mentioned...." -
