We have seen many faces of the coronavirus, but in recent times the testimonies of those who were reluctant to vaccination but have changed their opinion have grown. Domingo González, an intensivist doctor at the Insular University Hospital of Gran Canaria, is the protagonist of a video that he has published for «Keep the word given to a patient who a few hours ago I had to intubate».
In the video, just over two minutes long, titled Please … help us save lives, the doctor recounted how the patient was admitted with “bilateral pneumonia” and, until the moment of recording the video, “he could have been breathing with support systems, but we had to sedate him deeply.” Before that moment came, “I promised to make this video to convey that they get vaccinated,” explains González. About his patient, he says that «he told me that he had not been vaccinated out of fear, from what he heard and saw in the media and social networks and regretted not having done it now that he has been ill. He asked me to convey this idea to those who have not yet been vaccinated, to those who have doubts, because he has been an example of what should not be done.
The doctor at the Hospital Universitario Insular de Gran Canaria says that in a short time «we have admitted to the ICU more than ten patients affected by COVID not vaccinated by fear of vaccine side effects“And clarifies that” they were not deniers, but they were influenced by them. “
Finally, González reflects: «we are reaching a moment in our society in which we don’t know the damage we can do with misconceptions. You are playing with people’s lives and their health. Not everything goes. Help us save routes ».
