Renowned infectologist and pediatrician Xavier Sáez Llorens, an advisor to the government during the first covid-19 wave has been threatened with physical violence if the anti-covid vaccination for children is approved. However, he said that the threats will not silence him.

In a somber message posted, he told followers: “You may wonder why I’ve been so quiet. For the best part of two weeks, I fought a losing battle with Covid. “Been on oxygen in hospital since. Moving to intensive care today. This is one nasty illness. Fingers crossed I make it through.” He didn’t.
