I\u2019m telling you, those police jail cells are filthy and foul-smelling, police are lazy in cleaning. That is where you\u2019ll be,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The video clip cut to another moment when Duterte says, \u201cYou get vaccinated, otherwise I will order all the village heads to have a tally of the people who refuse to be vaccinated. Because if not I will inject them with Ivermectin which is intended for pigs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/asia_pacific\/duterte-philippines-arrest-vaccine\/2021\/06\/22\/9ac3eed8-d337-11eb-b39f-05a2d776b1f4_story.html\"><span class=\"s2\">reported<\/span><\/a> that Duterte also said, \u201cIf you don\u2019t want to be vaccinated, I\u2019ll have you arrested and have the vaccine shot into your [buttocks],\u201d he said, reportedly using a vulgar word. \u201cIf you don\u2019t get vaccinated, leave the Philippines. Go to India if you want, or somewhere, America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Justice Secretary of the Philippines Menardo Guevarra reportedly cleared up Duterte\u2019s words on Tuesday and said refusing vaccination was not a violation of the law, per The Post.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have warned everyday people not to use Ivermectin against COVID-19.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">On its website, the FDA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19\"><span class=\"s2\">stated<\/span><\/a>, that the agency \u201chas not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug\u00a0for treating viruses),\u201d adding that \u201cTaking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The agency added, \u201cNever use medications intended for animals on yourself. Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In March, the WHO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/feature-stories\/detail\/who-advises-that-ivermectin-only-be-used-to-treat-covid-19-within-clinical-trials\"><span class=\"s2\">recommended<\/span><\/a> that Ivermectin only be used in treatment of COVID-19 within clinical trials. \u201cThe current evidence on the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 patients is inconclusive. Until more data is available, WHO recommends that the drug only be used within clinical trials,\u201d it stated, citing a guideline development group that looked at data from trials.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/philippines-duterte-threatens-those-who-refuse-covid-19-vaccine-with-jail-2021-06-21\/\"><span class=\"s2\">reported<\/span><\/a>, \u201cDuterte is famous for his bellicose rhetoric and his remarks on Monday contradicted those of his health officials, who have said getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is voluntary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, there is a crisis in this country,\u201d Duterte said. \u201cI\u2019m just exasperated by Filipinos not heeding the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">COVID-19 <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/CSSEGISandData\/COVID-19\">cases<\/a> have gone down in the Philippines since a spike in April, but continue to maintain an uncomfortable rate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s3\">According to the WHO, \u201c<\/span><span class=\"s4\">from\u00a0<\/span>3 January 2020<span class=\"s4\">\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>5:44pm CEST, 22 June 2021<span class=\"s4\">, there have been\u00a0<\/span>1,364,239\u00a0confirmed cases<span class=\"s4\">\u00a0of COVID-19 with\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s5\">23,749\u00a0deaths<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, reported to WHO.
