Dr. Fernando Cuellar

When asked how does he respond to people who might say they aren’t getting vaccinated because the vaccinated are getting COVID anyway, Dr. Cuellar said he can say for certain, in his own case, the vaccine protected him from even worse symptoms. Perhaps even from dying.

“It’s just analyzing the risk. I mean, the risk is less getting the sickness and when you do get it, you will have less risk of getting it severely. And, less risk of death. The numbers are there. Not only in Belize, but all over the world. We are not saying absolutes, okay? We are not saying absolutes and honestly that is the thing I need to drive home. People will say about vaccine, “You see ah di tak right dey and he same one get di Covid?” Yes. But I am telling you, I am pretty much aware it is what helps us to recover, to get better in this case.”
