Covid today Italy, Galli: “Fourth wave is not a breakthrough”

The fourth wave of COVIDs for Italy “will not be a breakthrough, it will be contained”. We are facing “an epidemic of the unvaccinated”. These are the words of Professor Massimo Galli, head of the infectious diseases department of the Sacco di Milano, in Agorà. “We have had more vaccinations than the others and we have more recent vaccinations, for example than in Great Britain. The vaccine, although imperfect in protecting against infection, over time maintains much better the ability to avoid the worst condition: getting seriously ill and ending up in hospital, This should put us in a position to undergo a containable wave, not a wave, and an epidemic of the unvaccinated, as far as hospital arrivals are concerned, “says Galli. “We have about 7 million people recovered from covid, I continue to argue that a different vaccination policy is needed for this very large group. In 9 months, according to 2 serious and published studies, infected people have a 3 per 1000 chance when the hypothesis of a new infection is considered. There are doctors who contracted covid in the first hour at work, are struggling with the aftermath of long covid and have health problems: they pass for no vax without being one, there is something not it goes if these people are suspended in the name of zero tolerance “, adds Galli.” I find the Austrian position interesting: either you are vaccinated or you are cured. The effect that Austria is achieving now we have already obtained with the green pass and I believe we must go ahead with the strategy of persuasion “.
