Díaz-Canel: blocking of digital channels is reaction to Soberana 01
Miguel Diaz-Canel considered the disabling of YouTube channels of TV program Mesa Redonda and Cubavision Internacional as ‘an outright blocking’, precisely when it was airing the presentation of the brand-new drug proposal.
‘Cuban scientists explain details about a vaccine candidate against Covid-19 in the clinical trial phase. Some people, who do not want the world to know about our vaccine, blocked the Cuban digital channels. In short, they have not vaccinated anyone and the shot already hurt,’ he live-tweeted.
On Thursday, the YouTube platform suspended these accounts, alleging an alleged violation of ‘export laws’ and, as a consequence, all the content published there for years disappeared.
Coincidentally, on Thursday the Mesa Redonda program, broadcast on several channels including Cubavision Internacional, dedicated its broadcast to offering some details about the Soberana 01 vaccine, whose clinical trials will begin on August 24.
