MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Taking to Twitter to respond to suggestions that politicians should be the first to be vaccinated for Covid-19, the Philippines’ Senate President Tito Sotto shocked his countrymen with his reply.

He says he’d rather be poisoned than vaccinated for free.

Sotto also mischaracterized the new Covid-19 vaccines as “98% good.” The FDA-approved vaccines are about 95% effective, according to the manufacturers and FDA review panels.

The honorable Senator also must have forgotten that murder is a crime. Including poisoning someone.
