President of La Libertad Avanza in Chaco, Alfredo “Cabe” Rodriguez, He came out to support the day held in Congress entitled “What do COVID-19 vaccines actually contain?”organized by Vice PRO Marilou Quiroz A large part of the health and political fields doubts it. The Chaco leader stressed that the focus of the debate should not be read as an attack on vaccines, but rather as a request for greater transparency in approval and state monitoring processes.
Rodriguez stressed that “Argentine society deserves an honest discussion, without taboos or fanaticism, about the role of the pharmaceutical and vaccine industry and control mechanisms in the state.” He stressed that the discussion cannot be presented in binary terms: “No one is anti-vaccine. No one questions the usefulness of vaccines or their historical contribution to public health. What people are asking, and what we are proposing as leaders, is what is in it, how is it developed, how is it approved, and what real controls are applied.”He mentioned.
He pointed out in this regard that “the time when citizens were expected to automatically accept any health decision is behind us.” He added: “It’s not about rejecting science; it’s about demanding more and better science, with clear protocols, serious audits and full transparency.”.

Use global examples and refer to fentanyl
The leader also linked the discussion to cases, as he pointed out, that reveal the need to reconsider oversight mechanisms. “Or do we forget fentanyl? How did certain compounds, originally introduced as medical tools, end up with devastating consequences in different parts of the world? This is an example of the importance of discussing the place that pharmaceutical companies hold in health decision-making.”He mentioned.
Rodriguez insisted that the criticism he is promoting “does not refer to medicine, but to the power exercised by large companies in this sector.” He insisted: “What we reject is the possibility that citizens will become guinea pigs for global economic interests. Public health cannot be subordinated to any power structure that operates without democratic controls or social scrutiny.”.
Reference to European provisions and international matters
To support his position, Rodriguez cited the institutional history of the European Union. He remembered that “The General Court of the European Union ruled on 14 May 2025 that the European Commission had violated access to information rules by refusing to hand over letters exchanged between President Ursula von der Leyen and the CEO of Pfizer, overturning a formal decision that sought to suppress them.”.

He also mentioned previous observations from the European Audit Authority: “The European Court of Auditors had previously warned in its Special Report 19/2022 that the joint vaccine procurement process “lacked adequate evaluation,” citing ambiguity in the contracts and lack of oversight in the negotiations.”.
He added to this complaints from members of the European Parliament regarding violations in contracts, and pointed this out “At the end of 2021, the European Union signed contracts worth €71 billion guaranteeing up to 4.6 billion doses.”.
The debate comes in the middle of a national health announcement
The Chaco leader’s statements come in parallel with the joint statement issued by the country’s health ministries, after the controversy sparked by the Queiroz event. The text, signed by all provinces except Buenos Aires and Formosa, reaffirmed the importance of the national vaccination calendar, stressed the available scientific evidence and warned of the dangers of misinformation on health issues.

The statement stressed that “scheduled vaccines are essential health tools”, and have “decades of safe use” and strict monitoring processes before and after their approval. The official message came in the context of outbreaks of diseases such as measles and a continuing decline in vaccination rates across the country.
Finally, Rodriguez viewed this day in Congress as a necessary example of a health system performance review. “This is a debate that challenges us all as a society. It is not about denying scientific progress, but rather about demanding that this progress be in the service of the people and not interests that no one sees or controls.”He concluded.
