LONDON: An Argentinian news anchor mixed up her Shakespeares and mourned the death of William Shakespeare, the 16th-century world-renowned playwright, rather than William “Bill” Shakespeare, the first man in the UK to receive the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine. “We’ve got news that has stunned all of us given the greatness of this man. We’re talking about William Shakespeare and his death. We’ll let you know how and why it happened,” Canal 26 presenter Noelia Novillo said. Novillo went on to state that Shakespeare was “one of the most important writers in the English language — for me, the master.” Indeed, the “Romeo and Juliet” author was referred to as the second person globally to receive the Pfizer vaccine, as opposed to the 81-year-old former Rolls Royce worker and parish councilor who died last week from an unrelated illness. Social media users took to Twitter to comment on the gaffe, with one user stating: “The UK took more than four centuries to warn of the virus. On top of that, they blame China.” Another wrote: “The Montagues and the Capulets went to the wake.”
