    I feel that the most important thing Cuba should do is to submit the results of their covid vaccines to W.H.O. World Health Organization. I have no doubt their scientists are cable of producing such a vaccine.
    Once the vaccine has passed the rigorous scrutiny by W.H.O. they will gain world wide recognition. Cuba will then get the recognition it rightly deserves, which at the moment it doesn’t have..
