Albert Pérez Novell, 70, is a patient with covid-19 who has spent a week in the ICU of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, where he has assured that It was a mistake” to think that the vaccine was not for him. «At first I thought, ‘let the others get vaccinated’, but it’s a mistake. I have had to learn it in the worst possible way, ”he said in a video that can be seen on the Hospital Clínic Twitter account and that has already been reproduced almost 12,000 times in two days. This patient was infected on Christmas day and they had to admit him to the ICU due to the seriousness of his condition, although he is already recovering in a conventional ward and has overcome the worst of the disease, although he still has a lot of rehabilitation ahead of him.
After spend a few very serious days in the ICU, Pérez Novell has reflected on his decision not to get vaccinated and has assured that he now sees it as “absurd. I thought that this was not with me ». Albert Pérez recalled that “I didn’t want to get vaccinated because my social life had been greatly reduced and at first I thought, ‘Let others get vaccinated’, but it’s a mistake, because what I’ve seen this week here (in the ICU) is horrifying”. “Seeing a young person who leaves, eight days intubated and does not react, and that could have been me: there are no words to say what a denialist is at this time,” he considered.
In his opinion, “it is intolerable to link the debate on personal freedom with the debate on health, and this is what some interested parties are doing, to sell books and I don’t know.” “Now it is: vaccine, vaccine and vaccine, whether you are 20 or 70 years old. I have had to learn it in the worst possible way, which is almost dying, “he said.
