3 Min Read

“Blame yourself if loved ones die”. Those were the words echoed by Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves to the Unvaccinated.

Gonsalves speaking on state radio, said that there is a spike in cases and has steadily climbed to more than 200.

He said as such; people should take note of the situation and be more responsible.

“Let us be logical people; let us work together as a community. And if you don’t take it, I promise I will get the vaccine for you; I have an abundance. We have outlets, you don’t take it, and then you get sick and you family dying, you going blame Ralph”.

“Am not so worried about that, blame who you want to blame, but remember I tell you, you don’t take it, and one of your loved ones get very sick, blame yourself eh. Blame you who ain’t take it, blame you who give them in your homes”.

Prime Minister Gonsalves said everyone has a choice, but taking the vaccine is a matter of urgency.

“Let’s start to take this vaccine, please. I have to say please, take the vaccine. You believe you are young and strong; well, you can get COVID and get very sick”.

“Just over three weeks ago, one person at Questelles Police Station get sick, they send home all the other 13, if that is replicated all over the police would not have the time to deal with serious crimes. Come on”.
