Opinion | The development of Cuban vaccines does not escape the politicization of the regime

The biotechnology Today it is one of the very few sectors of which the Cuban government can boast. More than 30 years developing vaccines, which have been endorsed by the WHO and distributed throughout much of the world, led the government to consider the idea of, in addition to protecting its citizens, taking a hit in the market for vaccines against COVID-19 and, in this way, alleviate the serious economic crisis through which the country crosses. The fact that the government has decided to allocate its few resources to develop not one, but five shots at a time, it shows. And that all these potential vaccines carry jingoistic names, Abdala —a poem of the national hero—, Soberana 01, Soberana 02, Soberana Plus and Mambisa, speak of the political character in the intention of the Díaz-Canel government.
