Panta Petrovic, who says he lives part of the year in a cave near the Serbian town of Pirot, became an overnight sensation after media outlets applauded his pro-vaccination stance, despite his allegedly extreme “social distancing” lifestyle.
According to news agency AFP, the Serbian “hermit” got jabbed after Covid-19 vaccines became available, and urged everyone to do the same.
“It [the virus] does not choose. It will come here to my cave too,” the 70-year-old told the outlet, adding that he didn’t understand the “fuss” caused by global inoculation drives.
The Daily Mail, in a piece based in part on AFP’s reporting, also claimed Petrovic “got jabbed as soon as Covid-19 vaccines became available.”
