Cubans Blame SURGE on U. S. Blockade!!
Today -- March 22nd, 2021 -- is an important day for the resilient citizens of Havana, Cuba. Permit me to explain.
Today -- March 22nd, 2021 -- Cuba begins vaccinating the first 150,000 of its citizens in Havana now that the most promising of the five vaccinations its internationally renowned Finlay Institute has completed going through all three of its major COVID-19 trials and tests. The Soberana 02 production and trials have been closely monitored by other nations; and several major countries, such as South Africa as well as the 55-nation Africa Union, have indicated strong desires to purchase supplies although Cuba, as always, plans to provide it free to poor nations such as Haiti.
Cuba's free and highly respected health system from March until November in 2020 had an inviable handle on the COVID-19 pandemic for its citizens...at least while it had its borders closed to international travel. Then, with its free health system and vaccines, Cuba had one of the world's very best battles against the Pandemic.
But, as shown above, on Nov. 15th-2020 Cuba opened Havana's Jose Marti International Airport to international flights. By then Cuba's already tight economy had shrunk 11% because of the Pandemic coupled with the added genocidal restrictions to the USA's Embargo/Blockade added by the Trump administration. Prior to Nov. 15-2020 Cuba had very few positive COVID cases and it was going weeks without a COVID death. But since Nov. 15-2020 positive cases have surged and also COVID deaths have spiked to several a day, now closing in on 400 deaths during the entire pandemic, with Havana the epicenter for the positive cases and the deaths for the island's 11.2 million people.
The superpower U. S. has had a strict economic Embargo against Cuba since 1962 after it failed to regain control of the island after the April-1961 Bay of Pigs military attack, which was preceded and followed by grewsome assassinations/assassination attempts as well as numerable terrorist attacks such as killing all aboard the civilian Cubana Flight 455 airplane, deadly bombings of Cuban hotels to discourage tourism, etc. All the while, Americans have been programmed to believe the U.S.-backed Batista-Mafia dictatorship, which was overthrown by the Cuban Revolution on Jan. 1-1959, was comprised of the GOOD GUYS and the Cubans in Revolutionary Cuba since 1959 are the BAD GUYS. But only Americans subscribe to such propaganda, and the two images above reflect what slightly braver, more intelligent, and more democratic worldwide opinions believe regarding history's all-time longest and cruelest Embargo-Blockade ever imposed on a much-smaller nation by a much-larger nation. While Americans are programmed to not believe such facts, the Trump administration and now the Biden administration in Washington have used the COVID-19 pandemic to tighten the screws on the Cuban people on the island to appease the rich-and-powerful Cubans in Little Havana/Miami and in the U. S. CONGRESS. Yet, as the two images above attest, the rest of the world is well aware of the lies that the U.S. and Little Havana promote to justify the Embargo/Blockade and even make it more cruel since the Pandemic hit in March of 2020. And, of course, there are many great Cuban-Americans, like CARLOS LAZO, and many great Americans, like Dr. Candace Johnson, who verily love and respect Cubans on the island and are mightily appalled by the genocide aimed at them from Little Havana and from the U. S. Congress.
In the state of Washington, CARLOS LAZO is a Cuban-American professor in Seattle. Carlos and many of his young friends have ridden their bikes the 3,000 miles {three thousands miles!!!} from Seattle to Washington to beg politicians NOT TO LEGALIZE GENOCIDE AGAINST CUBANS ON THE ISLAND. Of course, many in the White House and many in Congress are simply too afraid or too flush with donated dollars to even listen to what a great and decent Cuban-American like CARLOS LAZO has to say.
Without doubt, the ROSWELL PARK COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER in Buffalo, New York, is one of the world's greatest cancer institutions. And without doubt, Candace Johnson, the President and CEO of ROSWELL, is one of the world's greatest and most respected doctors in the world in the fight against cancer. Americans are not expected to know that Dr. Johnson has waged a long battle against the U. S. government to allow her to have a particular lung cancer drug that Cuba has produced. She wants to have it for her OWN CANCER PATIENTS.
Americans are not supposed to know about great and decent Cuban-Americans like Carlos Lazo and great and decent Americans like Dr. Candace Johnson, but they should. Dr. Johnson has been to Cuba often and she knows the great Cuban scientists who have developed drugs that have proven to drastically treat diabetes, meningitis, dengue fever, cancer, etc. Many Americans that I have pictured in Cubaninsider articles have traveled illegally to Cuba in order to get cancer treatments their U. S. doctors suggested. And Dr. Johnson wants Cuba's lung cancer drug for her own patients. In a more decent world, of course, she would not be denied that drug just because she and her patients happen to be Americans.
Dating back all the way to the 1950's, after the U. S. supported Batista's cruel dictatorship in Cuba starting in 1952 and then supported the Batistianos in Little Havana USA since 1959, the mainstream media in the U. S., for the most part, bowed to the Cuban narrative -- you know, Batista & the Batistianos represent the Good Guys and the Cubans still in Cuba are the Bad Guys, and that's why we must recapture it!!!! But earlier this month in March-2021 the world's most famous journalist, Christiane Amanpour, had the incredible guts & decency to report fairly about Cuba on CNN, one of the world's most recognized News sources. AMANPOUR, mostly based in London, is world-famed at the BBC and NPR as well as CNN and CNN International.
Above you can see the headline for AMANPOUR'S fair and decent report on Cuba this month, March-2021. It was aired around the world and on the Internet by CNN and CNN International. As you can see, the title is: "Cuba's quest for vaccines." The entire 12 minutes and 22 seconds consists of the great journalist AMANPOUR interviewing the great American cancer expert, Dr. Candace Johnson.
This is the photo and graphic that CNN used to promote Amanpour's worldwide interview with Dr. Candace Johnson, the famed American cancer expert. In the 12-minute, 22-second interview, if you still want to dial it up and study it, you can see that Dr. Johnson over and over expresses her love for the Cuban people and incredible respect for the Cuban scientists that she has come to know on a personal basis. I don't believe that neither Little Havana nor the U. S. government wants you to hear and see what the great Dr. Candace Johnson has to say about the Cuba that she knows well, including the Cuban people but especially the brilliant Cuban medical scientists.
Shamefully in the United States of America, Americans are not suppose to know what Carlos Lazo and Candace Johnson say about Cuba. WHY? Well, Carlos is a Cuban-American professor in Seattle who, along with some young friends, ride their bikes 3,000 miles to Washington to beg politicians in the White House and in Congress to stop legalizing genocide against Cuban families on the island to appease, enrich, and empower some already rich and powerful Cubans and their sycophants in Little Havana USA. And Candace Johnson is one of the USA's and one of the World's greatest cancer experts who begs the United States to allow her to have access to a Cuban lung cancer drug...and she also is not afraid to tell the whole world how much she loves and admires Cubans on the island, especially their brilliant scientists!! Of Course, Little Havana is not fond of either Carlos Lazo or Candace Johnson. And, unfortunately, that is the world we live in!
