Alexandros Papandreou: The chef of Love it “bent” on air for the death of his father (video)

Well-known chef Alexandros Papandreou, who “lost” his father and aunt to a coronavirus within a week, returned on SKAI’s show “Love It” and wanted to share with Ioanna Maleskou and the viewers everything she has experienced lately.

“I’ve been doing TV for so many years and I’ve never been out for an interview. So I went out today and asked to do this for one reason only. Because I want to pass a message and nothing else. “Within a week I lost both my aunt and my dad and that was for a reason, because they were not vaccinated.”

“It’s not that they didn’t want to get the vaccine, there are a lot of people who for some reason can’t do it either because they may be afraid of the needle, or because they are too old, or because they are afraid of it. “So I believe that from an age onwards, older people get sick again, you have to take them by the hand, literally, and take them to the vaccine.”

He did not hide that he regretted that he did not force them to get the vaccine, saying characteristically: “if I am sorry for something it is that I should have taken my dad and my aunt and given them the vaccine”.

Of course, at that point Ioanna Maleskou added that sometimes older people are assertive and do not listen to what they are advised to do with Alexandros Papandreou answering that:

“They were both doctors, very good at their job and that is even worse for me. I think there you have to do it with “so I want” and let it sound selfish. “If you want to see your loved ones again, you have to do it.”

“I am most moved and I want to thank all these people who have sent me so many messages and put my own aside. I wanted to say on camera. There were some who wrote very bad things to me, such as “you are a party dog ​​because you tell people to get vaccinated”. I’m trying to tell you just ‘get vaccinated’, because I’m going to tell you 2-3 things that I really do not know how you will feel. I never saw my dad again. I could not hold his hand, I could not hug him. “All I could do was tell Dad ‘I love you so much’ on the phone.”

With obvious emotion, he urged the viewers to be vaccinated, not being able to understand why they do not do it:

“What are you waiting for to get vaccinated?” So how much do you want it to go? Greece is No. 1 in deaths. What are you waiting for; I do not understand why you do not want to do it. It’s your right for sure, but to know what you have to go through, it’s very simple, not to be able to see yours “.
