Opposition lashes out at Cheong Wa Dae's reassurance of vaccine readiness Posted : 2020-12-23 15:50 By Do Je-hae Opposition criticism is growing toward President Moon Jae-in's alleged lack of attention in acquiring COVID-19 vaccines in comparison to some other countries, leaving Cheong Wa Dae to go all out in refuting the complaints and negative media reports. The presidential office issued a lengthy statement Tuesday, detailing Moon's actions for the development and acquisition of vaccines since earlier this year, starting with an April 9 visit to the Institut Pasteur Korea in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. The statement even included Moon's remarks at undisclosed meetings to show that the President has not been idle in acquiring vaccines as alleged by the opposition parties.
