A daily newspaper has come in for heavy criticism from Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley following a disclaimer published and shared by the St Augustine Medical Laboratory Limited.
The medical institution distanced itself from an article published by a media house in which the reporter attempted to analyse the reliability of the Sinopharm Vaccine.
In a post to his social media platforms, the Prime Minister referred to the newspaper article as quote “the worst piece of irresponsible journalism he has ever seen.”
The Prime Minister’s statement read, “In a pandemic, where thousands of doctors and many international agencies and hundreds of thousands of newspapers and other media entities are present and reporting, the Express has made the discovery as published to undermine a vaccine which might very well be a victim of geopolitics.” He added, “It’s not only embarrassing it is downright destructive and worrisome.”
The Prime Minister concluded by saying to attempt to undermine a nation’s vaccination program in a pandemic is nothing short of criminal.
