Tiny islands got the COVID-19 vaccine thanks to their ‘mother countries’
BY JACQUELINE CHARLES
JANUARY 08, 2021 02:36 PM
Inside a conference room on a tiny Caribbean island Thursday, COVID-19 vaccine history was being made.
Cayman Islands Gov. Martyn Roper pulled up a sleeve, took a breath and stared in the direction of video cameras live streaming the moment when a nurse plunged a needle into his arm.
“This is the easiest thing I’ll do all day,” Premier Alden McLaughlin said as he waited nearby for his turn.
That the Cayman Islands, a small British dependent territory 10 times smaller than the state of Rhode Island and with a population just under 65,000, would have access to a COVID-19 vaccine before more independent and populous countries in the region such as Jamaica and the Bahamas, or even nearby Cuba, isn’t just good fortune, but a bit ironic: This may be one of the few times colonialism is paying off.
Once a dependency of Jamaica on behalf of the Crown, the Cayman Islands, a well-known tax haven, is among a handful of overseas territories in the Caribbean that for a change are reaping the benefits of their dependency status after years of complaining about a lack of assistance.
From the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, to the British overseas territories of Cayman and the Turks and Caicos, to the Dutch territory of Aruba, some Caribbean nationals are finding that still being tied to the “mother country” is actually a good thing during this global pandemic.
“We feel good that we have a good relationship with the mother country, the U.K.,” Cayman Health Minister Dwayne Seymour told the Miami Herald, ahead of his vaccination Thursday alongside the others in a bid to convince islanders the vaccine is safe. “We’re proud of the job that we have done, but I think we need to praise our relationship with the U.K. and being fortunate enough to have that relationship affords us to receive the vaccine so early.”
Indeed, while most countries in the Americas are frustratingly waiting to get access to a COVID-19 vaccine, smaller dependent territories are discovering that their continued ties with the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands and France are giving them a fast track to vaccination.

The UNC is trying to spin KCR as calling our neighbours as beggars, which he never did. Only UNC is trying to take offence for Caricom while they are not entertaining them. UNC unable to lament poor handling of covid-19 as they tried before election 2020 and lost, are now trying to lament vaccines shortage, which has a global shortage.
UNC needs to take their own advice and stop pushing race and explain to their MPs what is a question.

You mean like this.
In 2018, Dominica requested a waiver on membership fees for OAS, $25,000, due to the damage from the hurricane season of 2017. Trinidad and Tobago's delegation to OAS rejected Dominica's request for a waiver, the only country at OAS to reject it, severely destroying ties between the two island nations.
You keep being a kant, and getting batted down ever single time, Take a rest, or at least come better with your LFD RFD PNM servile flattery.
Prime Minister says relationship with T&T “Solid”
Dominica News Online - Wednesday, April 4th, 2018 at 12:33 PM
“The relationship between Dominica and Trinidad and Tobago remains solid,” Prime Minister Skerrit told the host of a morning talk show in Trinidad via WhatsApp, according to the Trinidad Guardian.
The comments by Prime Minister Skerrit follow events of March 23rd where Ambassador Anthony Philip-Spencer voted against Dominica’s bid to waive its OAS contributions for the next two years.
Skerrit recognized that T&T has been very supportive of Dominica. He pointed out that he does not believe the prime minister of T&T (Dr.Keith Rowley) was aware of the vote prior to it being cast at the OAS. He also believed the incident to be a result of miscommunication that “happens to us from time to time”.

Typical LFD RFD PNM sycophant, applauding the result of a Rooster up that the very LFD RFD PNM unnecessarily created in the first place just like the vaccine issue. JUHN Scarfy did his nonsense, realized after getting loud up from a lowly HC, and forced to turn tail and ask/beg/make fares the same HC for.
Skerritt was just being diplomatic, since JUHN Scarfy failed miserably at it.

Why is it that you can't admit you were misinformed and back down? Why you have to dig a deeper hole?
The OAS vote was 23 March 2018, the article was 4 April 2018. It was less than 2 weeks after, not a year after.
Sometimes, I don't want to pound you because I believe you have some kind of learning disability, but dyslexia and lack of comprehension is no excuse for a lack of humility.

My apologies, I got thrown by the "2017 hurricane season" in the source that I quoted HOWEVER, it still doesn't negate what actually happened at the OAS, Skeritt being cool or not, because JUHN Scarfy and Bypass Moses were shown up as cruel unthinking.
Just like now where Gaston Browne the incoming Caricom Chairman was selected to write to Biden to request vaccines on behalf of Caricom and not the current Chairman JUHN Scarfy. This of course following the kantish beggar comment by the most undiplomatic, crass, dragged up, wajang PM we have ever had, and will probably ever have.

You get thrown off by plenty things and you still digging a deeper hole
TT was among the first international responders to Dominica. I know TTDF ppl who went there and worked hard. Rowley took flack from the UNC for welcoming Dominicans here at their time of distress. To say that some public servant voting against TT established and demonstrated policy for Dominica is "severely destroying ties between the two island nations" is nonsense. Skerritt knows that and he expressed it.
You are just trying to defend Kamla's disastrous Caricom tenure where there were citizen led boycotts against TT. You want to compare that with a faux pas from a public servant that Dominica excused and the public servant took full responsibility? https://www.guardian.co.tt/news/moses-p ... eee26dd8c5
I don't know who told you Gaston Browne was selected to do anything but anybody can write to Biden and petition for Caricom. Rowley was not Caricom chair but he was a leading voice from Caricom to speak against military action against Venezuela, Mia Mottley the then chair didn't mind. Browne wrote to Biden, Rowley wrote to Biden and spoke to Maxine Walters yesterday, Holness spoke with Canada and the UN all about covid-19. The more voices the better, like you just want nobody to get vaccines so that somehow UNC will look good?
U.S. Embassy Clarifies Travel Advisory Update
April 23, 2021: The Embassy is aware of the UNC’s response to the Department of State’s travel advisory to U.S. citizens. The Travel Advisory for Trinidad and Tobago is now Level 4, do not travel, due to restricted travel options put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Department’s Travel Advisories are apolitical in nature, and in no way reflect our relationship with any country or with any specific political party within a country. We recently adjusted our Travel Advisory system to give more weight to recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Following this update, approximately 80% of countries worldwide have a Travel Advisory Level of 4: Do Not Travel.
The naming of specific neighborhoods in the travel advisory comes from a specific provision of U.S. law that provides there can be no double standard for U.S. citizens versus employees of the Department of State. Safety information we make available to our Embassy staff, by law must also be given to the greater U.S. public. Since the Embassy is located in Port of Spain, we warn our employees only about the areas in or around Port of Spain. There are other areas of the country that are dangerous for non-residents to visit as well, including beaches around Trinidad and Tobago, based on police reports of criminal activity. We strongly disagree with any attempt to politicize the Department of State’s travel advisory system.
