Philippines Duterte Threatens to Expel U S Military if Companies Do Not Offer Vaccines

28 Dec 2020 President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines threatened to cut ties between his nation’s military and America’s – in existence since the Philippines declared independence from Spain – this weekend if Washington did not ship Manila at least 20 million doses of experimental vaccines for the Chinese coronavirus. Duterte made the remark amid a brewing scandal over his government’s failure to obtain significant quantities of any vaccine or vaccine candidate. According to the  Philippine Star, Manila held talks with Pfizer, which developed the first FDA-approved coronavirus vaccine in the United States, to import 10 million doses, but could not come to an agreement, leaving the Philippines empty-handed. Duterte’s government reportedly secured a deal with Pfizer competitor Moderna following that incident.
