Samuel Eto’o has lashed out at two professors in the wake of their disapproving comments about Africa as the world continues to battle Covid-19.
As it stands, there are no drugs that can prevent the pandemic that claimed more than 54,229 lives and infected 1,030,633 people world wide, but scientists have identified the BCG vaccine – used against tuberculosis as a panacea to curtail the illness that has killed so many people across the globe.
During a programme on French television station LCI, however, professor Jean-Paul Mira, head of the intensive care unit at Cochin hospital (Paris), and Professor Camille Locht, research director at Inserm suggested the effectiveness of the vaccine should be tested first in Africa.
This triggered the anger of the four-time African Player of the Year.
“Africa is not your playing ground,” wrote Eto’o on the offensive video he shared on Instagram.
