“There really is no Ūseliai working in Ambulance in Šilalė”, 15 minutes T Bartkus said.

The list was signed by Algirdas Radvila, Deputy Director of Quality at UAB Ambulansas, whose name was also among the vaccinated Šilalė ambulance workers. He is also not a resident of Šilalė.

Law enforcement agencies were also interested in this and similar stories about emerging vaccines.

However, the aforementioned list, which was posted on Facebook by Remigijus Žemaitaitis, a member of parliament belonging to the Joint Group of Seimas Members, also revealed more possible Vilnius gentlemen who had been vaccinated without queuing.

“During the weekend we only talked about Ūseliai, but in silence about another businessman from Vilnius”, 15 minutes said a member of the Santariškės community who did not want to mention his last name.

He claimed that J.Pranckevičius had been vaccinated in Šilalė by accident: he is the brother of R. Ūselis’s wife.

15 minutes J.Pranckevičius also wanted to inquire about this situation, but the businessman, as soon as he heard that he was calling 15 minutes The journalist did not even want to hear the question: after saying “thank you”, he hung up.

However, the fact that J.Pranckevičius, the brother of R. Ūselis’s wife, confirmed 20 percent. Leonas Kačinskas, a psychiatrist and president of the Ambulance Association, which owns shares in Ambulansas, called R. Ūselis’s actions an arbitrary and illegal use of the situation.

“I think there is a brother on the list (the brother of the wife 15 minutes), because I don’t know any other J.Pranckevičius “, 15 minutes L. Kačinskas said.

He reiterated that neither R. Ūselis, who worked in the administration, nor his wife, who had previously run a restaurant, nor Marti, nor J.Pranckevičius were involved in medicine.

“Juozas Pranckevičius graduated in architecture. His businesses are real estate, he is also a shareholder, “said L. Kačinskas.

By the way, after examining the Ambulance documents at the Registry Center, it becomes clear that J. Pranckevičius is a former shareholder of this company. For example, the minutes of the general shareholders’ meeting held in 2003 record that J.Pranckevičius owned 50% of the shares at that time. Ambulance shares, and in 2005 – 90 percent. In addition, from 2005 to 2011, he served as a member of the company’s board of directors. Now this businessman is no longer among the shareholders and managers of Ambulance.

And here is another detail that shows the connection: In 2016, the Šilalė District Municipality Public Library announced that an exhibition of paintings by professional artist Juozas Pranckevičius “Spring Mood” had opened at its premises. Loreta Kalnikaitė – Head of ambulance at Šilalė Ambulance, who provided the hospital with a list of people who should be vaccinated.

Marvel at the boldness

L. Kačinskas, co-owner of Ambulance, claimed to be overwhelmed by such behavior from R. Ūselis. He has not been involved in the activities of the company for four years, because his views with R. Ūsel were different.

“For me, the blow is not less than for everyone, for me even bigger, it is still difficult for me to understand this situation. I did not know anything about vaccination because they have withdrawn from everything for four years, my position has not coincided much. They tried inconsistently, once there was a meeting, it was canceled without my knowledge, I left that activity, I cannot work where I do not work according to the principles that are acceptable to me, “said L. Kačinskas.

Meanwhile, the neighbors of J.Pranckevičius were especially outraged by the fact that the Vilnius real estate businessman decided to receive the vaccine without waiting, although he lives near the Santariškės Hospital, he can clearly see the tense situation in the country in medical institutions.

“Living in the Santariškės district, you see everything nearby covid action: people are transported by express, put them in the hallway or outside. And what is scariest is whistling you completely, ”said a member of the Santariškės settlement community.

He also added that J.Pranckevičius claimed that he did not see anything wrong with the community members and that if he did not give him the second vaccination in Šilalė, he intended to go to Visaginas.

Same 15 minutes R. Ūselis also told the journalist on Saturday: “I will go to do the second vaccination (…). I don’t know where to go to Šilalė or Visaginas. He still has to give now, he won’t leave us with a single shot. “

At Visaginas, Ambulance also operates a private ambulance station.

R. Ūselis also 15 minutes it is taught without doing anything wrong, and family members who have nothing to do with the vaccine are said to be preparing to volunteer.

“And what – we are not medical ambulance? We asked, they gave us and we went, we got vaccinated. Employees, volunteers, because half of our brigades are sick from the crown,” explained the businessman.
