“Hello Doctor, good morning. I bother him again because my sister is not doing well, the doctors tell me that her oxygen is very low even with the ventilator and turned upside down. I feel very guilty for telling him not to get vaccinated. I ask him, If I already give her a vaccine, will it help? Doctor, I don’t want my sister to die, I was an idiot but I need you to help me for God’s sake”, was the message spread by Mario Fitz-Maurice, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist.

• The world registered a new record for daily cases of coronavirus, with 3.8 million infections
• Catalonia eliminated the health pass due to its ineffectiveness against the omicron variant of the coronavirus
• England is recovering normality and eliminates the mandatory mask, the health pass and teleworking

Quickly, the man’s request went viral on social networks where some Twitter users questioned the doctor’s actions when disclosing the private message.

However, the head of arrhythmias at the Rivadavia Hospital replied on Twitter that his intention was to inform and account for a situation that usually attends, but preserving the identity of the person who contacted him.

“Publishing this information, more than anything I thought of the awareness that this would generate. Without going any further, once the screenshot is published, a person writes to me by private message, telling me his story, that at one point he was an anti-vaccine militant and told me that when it all started he was in charge of convincing those around him not to vaccinate, until later one of his children got sick; He wrote to tell me that he felt very identified with what is happening to this person”, argument Fitz-Maurice in dialogue with Radio Miter.

“This denial of vaccines has to do, initially with ignorance, a fact that occurred in the first wave; then it came from people who oppose everything, no matter what the evidence is, and that percentage of people exists in most countries. Luckily, in Argentina, there were not too many because the vast majority of the population accepted the vaccines, although that small minority is noisy and wants to stand out by going against the majority”the doctor concluded.
