Replace IATF officials with medical experts

/ 04:02 AM April 20, 2021

The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF), like President Duterte, has zero credibility.

The recent 15,000-plus COVID-19 cases recorded in a day should be sufficient proof that the citizenry cannot entrust to IATF members the management and control of the pandemic as they are military, not medical, people.

The IATF should be abolished, or its officials replaced by medical doctors, microbiologists, social scientists, or other experts from related disciplines.
