World Boss Vybz Kartel expressed his desire to take the Covid- 19 vaccines, his lawyer Isat Buchanan reported.
Based on Vybz Kartel‘s attorney-at-law, Isat Buchanan’s words, the incarcerated deejay is ready to take the Covid-19 vaccine, but the jab is not yet organized for prisoners. During a television interview aired in Jamaica on Monday night, the lawyer said that Kartel expressed his desire to take the jab.
“They (prisoners) are a class which are fragile and can’t say let me be vaccinated and so, of course, it is of concern because they are persons who are ready and willing… in conversations with him he is ready and willing to take the vaccine if it is offered,” the lawyer declared on Television Jamaica.
The whole nation has been on a strong campaign to vaccinate all Jamaicans, but there is still big hesitancy as many fear taking the vaccines or believe in anti-Covid conspiracies.
Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness has even warned that if persons don’t turn up to take the vaccines, they will expire and will have to be dumped.
Several personalities expressed their opinion on how Vybz Kartel and other dancehall acts could help the government with fighting the public’s anti-Covid vaccine stance.
Buchanan and UWI Professor Carolyn Cooper have both suggested that the government could have approached Kartel and others to be part of the government’s efforts to reach the masses via music: artists could become the messengers to get Jamaicans vaccinated against the coronavirus. Even though Kartel is not legally allowed to record in prison, and if he had to, he would need permission from the state.
