Caribbean-Latin America
St. Vincent Volcano: Only those vaccinated for COVID-19 can evacuate - PM
2021-04-11
WTF??
[JPost] The decision does not appear to be his, but rather was made by the neighboring island nations of Barbados, Grenada, Antigua and St. Lucia, who said they would only accept fully vaccinated refugees.

Only those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine will be able to safely evacuate from St. Vincent after the Caribbean island nation's La Soufriere volcano erupted on Friday, the country's Prime Minister Ralph Gosalves said in a press conference Saturday.

Giving a press conference with his face visibly welling up with tears, the Vincentian prime minister explained that cruise ships had volunteered to transport the island's residents to nearby Caribbean islands for shelter, but only vaccinated people would be allowed to board.

"The chief medical officer would be identifying the persons already vaccinated so that we can get them on the ship," he told reporters.

#5  So, while everyone else is gone, the "left behind," (see what I did there?) should dissolve the government, institute a new one and tell all those who left they are PNG and can't come back.
