Title Unpacking the DOJ's Decision A Critical Examination of the Canard Surrounding Dengvaxia Cases

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has come under fire from Dr. Anthony Leachon, a health reform advocate and former special adviser for non-communicable diseases at the Department of Health (DOH), for allegedly compromising justice in Dengvaxia cases. In an interview with The Manila Times, Leachon exposed alleged conflicts of interest involving DOJ Undersecretary Jesse Andres, who currently oversees the National Prosecution Service (NPS).

The Problem

On January 28, 2025, the DOJ ordered the withdrawal of 98 cases against former health secretary Janette Garin and two others in connection with the controversial Dengvaxia vaccine. This decision has raised eyebrows, particularly given the alleged conflict of interest surrounding Undersecretary Andres.

The Concerns

Leachon pointed out that Undersecretary Andres was previously the personal lawyer for Garin, one of the principal accused in the Dengvaxia case. This raises serious questions about potential bias and whether Andres' involvement in the NPS has influenced the outcome of these cases.

The Canard

A canard is a misleading or false statement intended to discredit someone or something. In this instance, Leachon argues that the DOJ's decision to dismiss the 98 cases is a canard, as it goes against the overwhelming evidence and the vaccine manufacturer's own admissions of fatal risks and adverse effects.

The Way Forward

To ensure justice is served and prevent further impunity, Leachon suggests that the Public Attorney's Office (PAO) file a motion for reconsideration. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of transparency in disclosing conflicts of interest prior to appointments and holding accountable those who prioritize profit over patient health.

The Imperative

As a society, we must prioritize justice and hold those responsible for harm caused by Dengvaxia accountable. This requires commitment to transparency, accountability, and upholding the Hippocratic oath – Do no harm – which guides medical practice.

Conclusion

The DOJ's decision is a prime example of how power can be abused. As Leachon aptly put it, Those in power or government posts should not use their position, money, and influence to manipulate case outcomes. It is our collective responsibility as citizens to demand justice and hold those in power accountable for their actions.
