Argentine parents seek Pfizer vaccine for disabled kids
Milagros Da Giau hasn’t slept well for months. She more often chokes while drinking. Her joints have begun to swell.
The parents of the 16-year-old cerebral palsy patient help her use an assistive device to improve her posture and stretch her muscles, but they lack the skill and strength of the kinesiologists who were forced to stop visits in April 2020, when pandemic began to hit.
“There were days when she didn’t sleep at all,” said her father, Francisco Da Giau. “Not having her habitual routines, not having activity, not getting tired, that altered her sleep and she has epileptic crises.”
The teenager, who lives in La Plata, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Buenos Aires, is among thousands of young Argentines — like many disabled people around the world — who have seen their conditions worsen under pandemic restrictions while awaiting vaccines that would allow them greater freedom.
And her parents are frustrated that a solution seems within reach: the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine approved for youths in other nations but isn’t yet available in Argentina.
The government so far is vaccinating people 35 and over with the Russian Sputnik V and shots from AstraZeneca and China’s Sinopharm. Neighboring Peru, Chile and Uruguay, meanwhile, have started giving Pfizer shots to some disabled people as young as 12.
Argentina has struggled to get enough vaccines for those already eligible, however. So far, about 10% of the country’s 45 million people have received a full two-shot series of vaccines, according to the Health Ministry.
Therapists and teachers are considered essential workers, eligible for vaccines — so only the lack of coverage for teenagers keeps patients like Milagros from being able to resume a semblance of normal life.
Milagros spends much of the day in a wheelchair, often gripping the hand of her mother Lorena Torbidoni as they watch music videos on the television. She’s had to leave behind trips to rehabilitation centers for therapies on auditory, muscular and other issues.
Roberto Debbag, vice president of the Latin American society of Pediatric Infectology, said the lack of therapies during the pandemic for lack of vaccines has set back the condition of many patients.
Da Giau started a group of about 400 families in the VacunaMe — “VaccinateMe” — network who are seeking access to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. An attorney, Da Giau, has filed a petition asking courts to require it on human rights grounds.
Argentina’s talks with Pfizer broke down last year, apparently due to a law that bars the government from absolving the company of potential liability for negligence related to vaccine side effects.
Health MInister Carla Vizzoti said a recent decree signed by President Alberto Fernández should help overcome that problem and she tried to assure families of vulnerable youths that “we are working so that they receive the vaccine as quickly as possible.”
Members of VacunaMe held a protest last week in the La Plata to demand the vaccines, pushing empty wheelchairs with photos of their children.
Some youths have taken up the demand as well.
“As a child, I was hospitalized many times and they just about killed me with shots,” said Ramiro Merlo, a 15-year-old with cystic fibrosis who has posted demand for vaccines on his Instagram account. “It seems crazy to me that I and many others have to be asking for a jab,” he said in an interview.
He said he hasn’t left his house throughout the whole pandemic, depending on online consultations by camera with a pneumologist and nutritionist.

Britney Spears Rips Into Dad, Sister In Profane Post; Feud With Sister Goes Public
Former pop star Britney Spears publicly bashed her father and sister in a profane Instagram post three days ago, sparking an online feud with her little sister Jamie Lynn Spears.
Spears is battling for new conservatorships; her father currently has control of her finances and temporary conservator Jodi Montgomery has control over person. Last week, a judge ruled that Spears can hire her own lawyer to challenge the conservatorships.
An Instagram message from the 39-year-old blasted her “haters,” took shots at her family, and notified her fans that she won’t perform while her dad serves as a conservator.
“For those of you who choose to criticize my dancing videos … look I’m not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think!!!!,” the performer captioned an image that said, “Take me as I am or kiss my a, eat s*, and step on Legos.”
“I’d much rather share videos YES from my living room instead of onstage in Vegas where some people were so far gone they couldn’t even shake my hand and I ended up getting a contact high from weed all the time … which I didn’t mind but it would have been nice to be able to go to the mother f***ing spa!!!!” the post continued. “And no I’m not gonna put on heavy makeup and try try try on stage again and not be able to do the real deal with remixes of my songs for years and begging to put my new music in my show for MY fans … so I quit !!!!”
Spears then knocked her younger sister for apparently performing her songs in the past: “I don’t like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed MY SONGS to remixes !!!!!”
“My so-called support system hurt me deeply !!!! This conservatorship killed my dreams,” she wrote, seemingly referencing her family. “So all I have is hope and hope is the only thing in this world that is very hard to kill … yet people still try !!!”
“I didn’t like the way the documentaries bring up humiliating moments from the past … I’m way past all that and have been for a long time !!!! And for women who say it’s weird the way I still have hope for fairy tales … go f*** yourself !!!!!,” the caption read, with an added middle-finger emoji. “As I said … hope is all I have right now … you’re lucky I post anything at all … if you don’t like what you see, unfollow me !!! People try to kill hope because hope is one of the most vulnerable and fragile things there is !!!!”
“I’m gonna go read a mother fing fairy tale now !!!!,” she closed. “Psss if you don’t want to see my precious a* dancing in my living room or it’s not up to your standards … go read a f*ing book !!!!!”
Sister Jamie Lynn later posted a few photos of herself with the caption, “May the peace of the Lord be with you, and your spirit.”
Spears, apparently in reaction to the post, added on Instagram, “May the Lord wrap your mean a** up in joy today.”
Jamie Lynn has since removed the caption and her comments are disabled.
Last month, Jamie Lynn posted a two-minute video message to her Instagram stories rebuffing allegations that she’s lived off her sister’s money and emphasized her love and support for her sister, The Daily Wire reported.
“I am only her sister, who is only concerned about her happiness,” Jamie Lynn said. “I have made a very conscious choice in my life to only participate in her life as her sister and as an aunt to those boys.”
“I mean, I’ve worked to pay my own frickin’ bills since I was 10 years old,” she added. Jamie Lynn was the former star of Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101” and recently acted in a Netflix series called “Sweet Magnolias.” “Not that I owe the public anything because my sister knows I love and support her, and that’s the only person I owe anything to,” she pointedly added, noting that she’s supported Spears “long before there was a hashtag.”
“I’m so proud of her for using her voice,” Jamie Lynn continued. “I am so proud of her for requesting new counsel, like I told her to do many years ago. Oh, not on a big public platform, but just in a personal conversation between two sisters. So, I’m very proud that she’s taken that step.”
Mr. Spears recently filed court documents stating that he’s “concerned” about the treatment of his daughter and emphasizing that he has not had any control over her medical decisions since September 2019, when he relinquished his role as conservator of person.
