Font size

SVT Norrbotten has reported on municipal council member Inger Oja (M) in Luleå who repeatedly criticizes vaccines against diseases such as measles, diphtheria, TBE and HPV on her social media. Something that goes against the Moderates' stance.

"Unserious"

Riksdag group leader Lena Hallgren (S) sharply questions the critical vaccination posts.

- It is frivolous. It is extremely inappropriate and it is also a little unpleasant that the Moderates have come to this point.

Oja has also questioned the vaccine register, which, among others, S and M are positive about, that it is unnecessary and a waste of large resources. It is not something that Hallengren wants to deal with.

- I think this woman can continue the discussions in her party if she is to remain there. And then we take that discussion between the parties.

"She doesn't invite others"

SVT has contacted Inger Oja for a comment. Matti Björk, group leader for the Moderates in Luleå, writes in a comment that if Lena Hallengren took offense, it is regrettable.

- As regards Inger Oja's stance against certain vaccines, she has made it very clear that it concerns her personal choices based on personal experiences and she also does not encourage others to take such a stance, writes Matti Björk.
