The news sparked an internet debate on Twitter:
“BARINAS Athlete Susana Lozada Forero (32) died in the Varyna clinic. At the weekend she suffered acute dehydration and hypoglycaemia while doing a triathlon at the El Desafío farm. Her body was taken from the funeral home to the morgue for an autopsy.”

“Yet another donkey blaming the vaccine! (With all due respect to that noble animal)Then they wonder why we have 22 years under dictatorship.”
