Dear Editor,
So the health minister sends out a warning as it relates to pregnant women and the Zika virus, suddenly Labourites on social media are asking ‘what is going on in PNP (People’s National Party) country?’
Mind you, these were the same Labourites calling for Fenton Ferguson’s head as it relates to the babies that died from bacteria. Now, the health ministry puts out an alert and they still find fault?
What exactly is it that the supporters of the Jamaica Labour Party want for Jamaica? So far, all they do is complain. And, in the midst of all this complaining, I have yet to hear their leader outline to the people of Jamaica how he intends to lead them from “poverty to prosperity”.
Common sense dictates that should this virus hit the country, Jamaicans from all walks of life will be affected, as I have yet to hear of any disease or virus that is partial to whom it attacks, therefore it should be in the best interest of all Jamaicans — be they supporters of the ruling People’s National Party or the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party.
It is very sad that, even in the face of such a serious situation, the ignorant and illiterate among us dare to draw political lines. The sad thing is, were the health minister to have remained silent about this issue, and God forbid it should attack, these are the same hypocrites who would be calling for his head, saying he did not do enough.
Yes, indeed, when it comes to Jamaicans who can only see political affiliations, you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
