Residents of Antigua and Barbuda appear to be outraged over the fact that they will be required to be fully vaccinated to attend an event.
This comes just as Cabinet announced that fete promoters have agreed that they, their patrons, and their guest artistes will be fully vaccinated as a prerequisite to holding parties during the Carnival holiday period and beyond.
Residents are calling this move a bribe.
One man speaking on Observer’s sister station Hitz FM said: “You nuh see a bribe the man a bribe people just fuh take the stupid vaccine. So call ting wah dem call vaccine cause no vaccine can’t make so early. He try bribe people with $50 voucher, dat nuh work. He try tell people if dem nuh vaccine dem nah get them pension. He try all kinda ting and realize e nah work. Dem a try kungfu now with Carnival.”
