“The only other vaccines that have been available to Caricom people in Guyana contrary to the Government of Trinidad and Tobago that decided that we were only going to use WHO approved vaccines, Guyana decided for reasons best known to them that they will use Sinopharm from China and Sputnik from Russia long before the WHO approved it and of course Guyana used 40,000 vaccines of that nature. They were the only Caricom countries outside of Dominica which also used 20,000 Sinopharm and St Vincent got Sputnik. We stayed with our policy of WHO approved vaccines,” he said.

I think it is absolutely valid for the opposition and the press to push the government for the diligence they completed when selecting the vaccines. However I not sure leaders should depend on WHO as the organization on which to base their nation's healthcare decision. Since the start of this pandemic WHO has proven itself to be a politicized organization which lacked the capability to react fast enough to the impending disaster. It is up to countries to employ their own resources in order to take care of their people's health in a timely manner.
