Vaccines do not prevent people from contracting COVID-19 but they can significantly reduce the likelihood of serious illness or death.This was the unrelenting message from the Director of Isolation Facilities Dr Corey Forde who is worried that many are being lulled into a false sense of security about the danger posed by the deadly virus.“I almost feel as though we have not seen what has happened in the rest of the world and almost to the point where I think Barbados has been a victim of its own success,” Dr Forde told journalists at the Harrison Point Isolation Facility on Wednesday.“People have not seen the sort of challenges that India has seen for example, people have not seen the challenges that the US has had in terms of deaths and overcrowding of their healthcare system. People have not seen that and I think that is part of the problem and that is due to the efforts of the Health EOC [Emergency Operations Centre], the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which is ultimately responsible for this through the Chairman of the Board.
