Why Does the US Hate Dr. Velez?

 Because he hasn't defected to Miami?

    Beyond doubt, Dr. Vicente Velez is one of the world's most brilliant and most successful doctors and medical researchers. He is famed for developing treatments and vaccines that have saved millions of people, especially focusing his energy on childhood diseases. Dr. Velez is also listed as a terrorist by the United States, apparently designated as such to appease some unknown but zealous Counter Revolutionary in the U. S. that promotes the six-decade-old economic Embargo/Blockade of Cuba. Thus, while the world loves and respects Dr. Velez, the U. S. hates him as he continues his vital work at Cuba's famed Findlay Institute in Havana.

    In mid-January of 2023, this massive headline {and article} in the WASHINGTON POST tells the world "How Cuba became a pioneer in covid-19 vaccines for kids." Of course, the answer is the brilliant Dr. Vicente Velez!! Yes, somehow at Havana's Findlay Institute Dr. Velez, despite the U. S. Embargo that tries to starve Cuba's economy, developed Covid-19 vaccines that have saved the lives of MANY children in Cuba and elsewhere. The WASHINGTON POST confirmed and updated these facts in these early days of 2023.

 From Havana in January of 2023 the WASHINGTON POST says: "Long before he was declared a U. S. national security threat, Vicente Verez was a Cuban chemist who loved kids. His specialty was vaccines. In the 1990s, he helped create an inexpensive vaccine targeting the bacteria known as haemophilus influenzae type b, or Hib, which had been killing children under 5. It was a global hit. So when covid-19 came along, Verez knew what he had to do." Then if you dial up the very long article in the WASHINGTON POST and study it, you will learn how once again, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the brilliant Dr. Velez developed more vaccines that have saved and are saving the lives of children. "So when covid-19 came along, Verez knew what he had to do." And so, as he so brilliantly did in the 1990s when so many children were dying from haemophilus influenzae, Dr. Velez quickly developed successful vaccines to fight Covid-19.

  The WASHINGTON POST: "Most of Cuba's youngsters got their shots months ago. His Soberana 02, used in children as young as 2, is one of a pair of homemade vaccines credited with taming covid-19."

A precious jewel from Dr. Velez.

     His love for Cuba's children inspired Dr. Vicente Velez to devote his life to creating vaccines that are fighting dreadful diseases, such as Covid-19.
