Covid today Italy, Crisanti: “Those with phobias will never get vaccinated, compromise is needed”

Obligation of an anti Covid vaccine for everyone? “There are many people who have phobias. There are those who, for example, would never travel by plane, even with the obligation. It must be accepted that there is a small portion of the population that has these problems with vaccination and these people they must not and cannot be given away to no vax. You need to find a compromise. For example, force them to use the Ffp2 mask which is very safe “. This was stated by Andrea Crisanti, director of the Microbiology department of the University of Padua, who spoke on the Agorà broadcast on Rai Tre. As for the current contagion situation in Italy, “the reason Italy has fewer cases of Covid today is because we got vaccinated later and we still have restriction measures, such as indoor masks and capacity limitations” . “The reality is this. In England and Israel the majority of people were vaccinated between January and April. While in Italy the majority were vaccinated between April and July. The protection of vaccination from transmission drops after six months from 95% to 45% and, against complications, it drops from 90% to 65% in the same period of time. So for this reason Italy has the most covered population “, explains Crisanti, recalling that the concern for infections occurs when” Rt index exceeds 1 “and that Rt” has nothing to do with tampons, they are different things because the index is calculated on the symptomatic “, he concluded.
