The doctors who were dragged into the Dengvaxia cases remain hopeful that their pending cases will be dismissed after the dismissal of 98 cases due to the absence of direct casual relationship between the vaccine and the children’s death.
Former health undersecretary Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go, an internist clinical pharmacologist toxicologist, Fellow of the Royal College of Physician Edinburgh, Fellow of the Institute of Corporate Directors, expressed gratitude for the “enlightenment” on the case, adding that those “fake experts” should have their licenses canceled.
Hartigan-Go was a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) Advisory Committees for Safety of Medicinal Products for a decade and six years in Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS), the counterpart committee of WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE).
“We just have to stick with the facts of the cases that there was no causal evidence linking the vaccine to the deaths,” Dr. Raymund Lo, an American trained pathologist certified by the American and Philippine Boards of Pathology in Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology and Immunopathology, said in the joint statement.
Department of Justice (DOJ) Usec. Raul Vasquez explained that the agency dismissed the 98 Dengvaxia cases as there was no direct causal relationship between the said vaccine and the death of the children, adding that there are “plenty of factors that supported that re-evaluation and re-examination” of the justice department.
