Gorgas delivers clandestine vaccination test results

The Gorgas Memorial Institute has sent the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (Imelcf) the results of the tests carried out on 32 people inoculated in clandestine vaccination days in Coco del Mar and Punta Pacifica.

Sources from the Public Ministry detailed to La Prensa that last week the Gorgas concluded with the antigen tests and that now it is up to the Imelcf to carry out the registration process and notify the Public Ministry of the results.

Based on the results of the tests made by the Gorgas and the Imelcf, the Public Ministry will make the decision to impute new charges. In the event that the evidence reveals that they were vaccines from the pharmaceutical duo Pfizer / BioNTech, which are only purchased by the State, the crime of embezzlement could be charged says La Prensa and if it was established that it was a placebo or a substance other than the vaccine, the crime against public health could be added to the case.

The antigen tests were carried out on those inoculated with supposed vaccines against Covid-19 on June 1, in a vaccination session held in Punta Pacifica, in apartment 43 of the Pacific Point building. That day would have been called by Celine Gazal de Esses, to vaccinate 15 people. The second clandestine vaccination was carried out on June 7, in the Coco del Mar Suite building, in a place belonging to Denisse Vega de Murzi, in which 17 people were vaccinated. Vega is linked to the Cordón de Vida and Vidatec companies.

The last day was exposed by La Prensa, which motivated the Minister of Health, Luis Francisco Sucre, to file a complaint with the Public Ministry on June 8.

Charges were brought against Matías Pérez Escudero, who -according to the investigation- was the person who posed as a doctor and vaccinated patients with the alleged Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine, in exchange for $ 200.

In the investigation of clandestine vaccines, carried out by the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office, the origin of the doses has not been determined, since officials from the Ministry of Health assure that the bottles used in the 32 vaccinated people do not correspond to the batches delivered by Pfizer / BioNTech to Panama.
