Former President Benigno Aquino III on Saturday urged the public not to allow themselves to be fooled twice as he warned them that the evils the Edsa People Power Revolution eradicated in 1986 seemed to be making a comeback. “This coming election, I believe this expression is apt: ‘Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me,’” Aquino said, referring to an American adage. He lamented what he said was the beating he had received over the Dengvaxia vaccine controversy despite the case’s lack of factual basis. “Despite medical evidence, they chose to repeat the charges by people who are not even experts in this field,” Aquino said. For the 837,000 who were given the dengue vaccine, this only translates to about 16 persons, Aquino said.
