PHILIPSBURG:— PHILIPSBURG:— Before taking the COVID vaccine at the Belair Community Center on Wednesday morning, faction leader of the National Alliance, MP William Marlin said that our leaders should lead by example.
He wanted the public at large to know, that because he believes the vaccine is safe and necessary he and his wife Gabrielle have taken the shot in the arm on Wednesday. Marlin said that the Belair Community Center team is well organized while those administering the vaccines are professional.
After taking the vaccine and waiting to see if there would be any reactions for like 20 minutes, Marlin told reporters, that the injection in his right arm was actually painless. I didn’t feel anything he said. Taking the vaccine was definitely more comfortable than taking the COVID test twice. Marlin said, that many of his contacts had responded negatively to the invitation to register for the vaccine. Several of them told him you go ahead, I won’t be taking it, at the least not now. For this reason, I want my family and friends to know that We have taken the test and are feeling quite fine.
I have decided to follow The science on this and lead by example. There are too many videos circulating with conspiracy theories about COVID 19 and now about the vaccine.
William and Gabrielle Marlin are scheduled for their second shot on March 31st at 11:30 am.
Marlin said, that if all the residents of Sint Maarten would take the vaccine, the sooner we can tell the world that we are not only open for business but that we are also, a truly safe destination to visit and spend a wonderful vacation.
