An image is going viral on the internet in which an old man can be seen riding on the back of a young man.
Do you know the story behind this picture?
According to reports, the photo was taken in January 2021 at the launch of the Corona Vaccination Campaign in Brazil (one of the most affected countries in the world by Corona). How many people struggle.
According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), in the photo that went viral on the Internet, a local man was carrying his father on his back to carry the corona vaccine.
Which country has received the most vaccines in the world?
According to reports, the photo was taken by Dr. Eric Jennings Simos, showing 24-year-old Tawi carrying Wahoo, 67, on his back after being vaccinated against the corona vaccine, who had to walk for hours through the jungle to reach the vaccination center. ۔
Tawi and Wahoo belong to the Zoi local community of Brazil, which has about 325 members, living in relative isolation in dozens of villages in an area equal to 1.2 million football fields in the northern state of Para.
Dr. Simos, who took the picture, said Wahoo could barely see anything and could barely walk because of chronic urinary problems.
A 65-year-old man claims to have received 11 doses of the corona vaccine
According to Dr. Simos, Tawi was carrying his father on his back for 5 to 6 hours while it was a beautiful scene of loving relationship between father and son.
Dr. Simos shared the photo for the first time on Instagram on January 1 this year to send a positive message at the start of the new year.
According to reports, when vaccination against corona began in Brazil, locals were considered a priority group, but the challenge for the medical teams that came here was to go to every village and vaccinate everyone, which would take several weeks.
So the medical teams set up huts in the forest and agreed on a vaccination system with the communities via radio.
According to Dr. Simos, we have adopted vaccination methods that respect the culture and knowledge of the people of Zoi.
Wahoo died last September, but the cause of death has not been determined. Tawi lives with his family and has recently taken his third dose of the vaccine.
According to official figures, 853 indigenous peoples in Brazil have died of corona, but local rights groups say that number is much higher.
A survey by a Brazilian NGO, Epab, found that between March 2020 and March 2021 alone, more than 1,000 locals were killed in Corona.
