translated from Spanish: Gerardo Romano, VIP vaccines and shipwreck: “Young people are being privileged because the old have already lived”

Following the “VIP vaccination” scandal, in which officials and close friends applied the vaccine to prevent coronavirus, Gerardo Romano opined on it and compared the situation to a shipwreck where the priority is “the youngest”. From Uruguay, the actor had an interview with Marcelo Bonelli for Radio Mitre where he minimized the diversion of vaccines and clarified that “stealing” is not the right word because that means “theft with violence”.

“Who stole vaccines? What I do see is that we are on a path that humanity had not traveled. That is boosted and creates a very difficult situation,” Romano added. The actor made it clear that he never got the offer to give himself the Sputnik V. On the air at Radio Mitre, he compared: “When we go to the boats on a boat, and they say ‘women and children first’ the younger ones are being privileged because the old ones have already lived. This is a place on the boat too, there’s no judgment.” While he clarified that whoever took a vaccine that did not belong to him committed a serious ethical misconduct, he concluded: “The entire performance of the government cannot be reduced to an unreleased, erroneous, lousy situation that I would never have done. I would have died of shame.”
