“I DO not have Covid and I never did.”
This was the statement made by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Wednesday.
In a press release issued, Persad-Bissessar referring to statements made by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley in Parliament said Rowley had a creepy infatuation with her that has hit a new level of weirdness.
“Rowley’s creepy infatuation with me hit a new level of weirdness today when he stood in Parliament and lied to the country that I had Covid-19. I am sorry to disappoint my devoted admirers in PNM but I don’t have Covid and I never did,” Persad-Bissessar stated.
She claims that Dr Rowley again again lied to the country under Parliamentary privilege when asked the question of whether or not he was vaccinated from the supply of Pfizer vaccines .
This was Dr Rowley’s statement in Parliament when questioned about if he took the Pfizer vaccine from members of the Opposition.
“Unlike the other leader in this House, I told the country when I was diagnosed as a positive patient to Covid-19. I told the country when I was in isolation. I told the country when I can be vaccinated. The Minister of Health actually told the country the date on which I can be vaccinated so to come here today and ask me I took vaccine from the 400, you are just a mischief maker.”
He further added, “ Go and find out from your leader when she took it.”
According to health officials, an individual can take the Covid-19 vaccine, three months after being diagnosed with the virus. In April, it was announced that Dr Rowley contracted the virus, a statement that caused Opposition members to not attend several sittings of the Parliament citing health and safety protocol concerns.
