“The word is scandal, today I had my boss in my unit, a 67-year-old man who put everything aside and continued to work, a leader of ours and he was sick, he infected his wife. President Sopemi himself is infected, I have another important member who has worked hard and is infected“The specialist said in a dialogue with the RPP radio.

“He, Jesús Valverde, is at home in quarantine, he is stable at the moment, but each of us, when the days go by and he is sick, counts day by day and checks his own functions every day … family that is also infected “added.

It is worth mentioning that Jesús Valverde became one of the first Peruvians to receive the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine from the country’s Sinopharm laboratory. The trial took place at Dos de Mayo Hospital.

Regarding the vaccination against COVID-19 of former Minister Pilar Mazzetti, Vice President Sopemi expressed his indignation because many intensive care physicians have not yet been immunized.

“I am very disappointed and, as a representative of Sopemi, we have shrugged our shoulders, we have been loyal, we are constantly cooperating with the minister, we have delivered documents that remain in the air so far and we really feel this as a disappointment, a pain, as a stabbing in the back“The doctor said.

With reference to the Sopemi statement, in which he asks to know what other officials received the dose and despite this fact they were infected with coronavirus disease. The specialist said that it is necessary for the Ministry of Health (Minsa) to specify the information.

“I think Ciro Maguiña is inside them, the other thing we know is that director Digerd, who was also in this and was ill, I didn’t see in detail the whole relationship that I think is circulating, I don’t know, but I released the statement because I we wanted to know if these people received the vaccine “, he commented.

“It is striking in any case, because it is obvious that you should worry if they received the vaccine and if despite this they had a serious disease, which is known to occur, but in a much smaller percentage.”, A conchis El.
