Only the vaccinated can be rescued on ships. The terrible tragedy of Saint Vincent
Only vaccinated people can evacuate on cruise ships from the island of Saint Vincent, while the La Soufriere volcano has erupted since Friday and continues to explode. So there is a risk of creating two different classes of population: those who save themselves because they are vaccinated, and those who risk suffocating from volcanic ash. We talked about this drama just a few days ago on SE
As CBS explains in a short clip we are now well beyond the vaccination passport, here we are the rescued and the submerged because they were lucky enough to be vaccinated.
Nearly 20,000 people have been forced out of their homes on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent after a volcano erupted there for the first time in more than 40 years.

While some 16,000 people on the direct path of destruction on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent are now fleeing for their lives – even amid power outages and even water supply disruptions – and as the sun has been essentially obscured by a huge blanket ash, islanders are now being told they may not be saved if they don't have a COVID-19 vaccination.
So the islanders have a choice: either take the vaccine and get on the big ships to save themselves in the neighboring islands, Antigua, Barbados and Santa Lucia, or be abandoned to their fate.
Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, told reporters at a press conference on Saturday that only vaccinated people will be able to evacuate on cruise ships.
"The chief medical officer will identify the people who have already been vaccinated so that we can take them to the ship," Gonsalves told reporters.
Moreover, the neighboring islands of Barbados, Grenada, Antigua and St. Lucia only accept fully vaccinated refugees.
Twitter users were not happy with the idea that only vaccinated people could escape the island.
“To add to the horror of St Vincent, * only vaccinated evacuees * are accepted onto cruise ships or neighboring islands. This is worse than my worst vaccine segregation nightmares. This must double our determination to NEVER allow covid passes, ”said one user.
Some have spoken directly of crimes against humanity due to the ban on boarding. Maybe they aren't all wrong
