Dear people on this website, I’m strongly considering going on a trip to Cuba soon alone. I’m a decent Spanish speaker and an American, wondering if anyone has any good tips or advice for the trip. I know I want to see that ice cream shop that fidel was obsessed with.
Thanks in advance!
Get vaccines that aren’t offered where you live. They have a lung cancer vaccine banned in the US.
Edit: Smallpox vaccine could be useful if Cuba gives them. With monkeypox, smallpox vaccines are the only existing vaccine that defends against it. I don’t think the US has smallpox vaccines available yet.
Is it not a profitable vaccine to offer? Is it just banned because Cuba?
It only costs a dollar to make. I’m assuming yeah it’s just because Cuba.
This is the biggest protip.
I didn’t think so at first while reading the comments, but the vaccines are one of them. We have the highest Covid death and infection rate and we need to save our immune system for all the times we catch Covid. (Plus other diseases that anti vaxxers increase the death/infection rates of.)
Hearing about that vaccine is insanely impressive - You can be sure if a Western org developed it we all would’ve heard about it.
Very cool to know the US embargo is currently directly promoting higher lung cancer rates in the rest of the world.
