Last Friday, after a morning of many rumors, Jorge Rial used his social networks to confirm that he had made the decision to travel to USA to get the coronavirus vaccine. The driver clarified that he did not want to leave the country to receive his dose, but that his family’s requests convinced him. “Indeed I’m going to get vaccinated in Miami. The wait for a turn was long and tedious. But it was banking. Even with the anger of my family “, confirmed through Twitter, and explained the reasons for his change of position: “However (Carlos) Zannini’s arrogant attitude made me make a decision that I had been avoiding: not to leave my health in the hands of politicians”, He wrote in his social network”.
The change of opinion led to some criticism of his decision and this Monday, the host opened his TV Nostra program via Zoom from Miami. “I am vaccinated, I was vaccinated on Saturday morning as soon as I arrived on the campus of the University of Miami,” he announced and explained the inoculation protocol. “You don’t need to sign up, they ask you some questions about health, and you go to a second tent that is divided in two according to the vaccine you choose. They had the Pfizer and the Johnson, I chose the Johnson because it is a single dose ”, explained the driver, and continued with his story: “You are vaccinated by the marines, dressed in sash. You sit down and get pricked. They give you the certificate and you wait 15 minutes to leave ”, he explained.
“Did you have some kind of side effect? Marina Calabró asked from the flat. “Nothing, that night I got a fever, I had 37.9. I felt a feverish state, but my body did not hurt, I slept nine hours later. What I do feel is a great relief, to get a backpack off me“Said the driver, who in any case stated that he maintains the care before receiving the dose:” I hardly left the hotel, just to look for food. “
Encouraged by a question from the panelist Diego ramos, Rial explained the reasons that led him to make the decision to get vaccinated: “The turn was awaited and it did not come. Many close cases began to appear, and Mauro (Viale) was very strong, it hit us all “, Jorge acknowledged in relation to the surprising death of the beloved journalist. “We are in love with our work, this is our life and we do not realize that we are leaving it aside. And we not only ruin what is ours, but what is around us. If he had been alone, I think he would not do it, “he added.
Rial then referred to his previous position, in which he was critical of those who were vaccinated abroad. “There was a huge punishment towards me … I did not hide, I did not make an excuse to come to get vaccinated or do anything. I came when I could, when they released him. That is the big difference, everything else was varnished “, argued the driver. “How many of you have received messages from well-known people asking ‘please don’t say that I got vaccinated. Macri himself did it, ”Rial pointed out, and confirmed that Zanini’s sayings definitely prompted him to make the decision.
In relation to this, the journalist added: “I got vaccinated out of fear. I shit on my legs, I really felt that if he hit me, he would kill me “, he acknowledged harshly. “I had a hold on my family, I put them in danger, and neither my wife, nor my daughters, nor Romina’s daughters, nor my grandson, nor my companions deserve it, and look how she took care of me, but there came a time when I panicked, “he said.
Finally, Rial denied that he suffered any kind of injury during his trip. “It is a world apart from the networks, and we live too pending,” he analyzed. “I had zero problems on the flight, on the contrary. Many told me ‘you are doing well, we have to save ourselves’. In addition, 99 percent of the people who traveled on that plane came to get vaccinated “, closed the subject from Miami, from where he continued with the usual dynamics of the program.
