Musumeci: “Yes, vaccination obligation, the State has the right and duty to suspend individual freedoms”

“It is a battle of civilization and of rights and duties. The State is the great father of a family and has the duty to protect his community. I am convinced that in some particular cases the State has the right and duty to temporarily suspend some individual freedoms “. Thus the Sicilian governor Nello Musumeci speaking at La7. Yesterday the president of the Region reiterated that he is in favor of the vaccination obligation. “If the adoption of this drastic measure were to serve to safeguard general interests – he said – It is not a problem of the president of the right or the left. There is a hard core of diehards, within this large segment of citizens who they need to be convinced, reluctant, it is likely that a further restrictive measure will convince the most refractory “. “In Sicily, out of 382 hospitalized for Covid, over 80 percent are not vaccinated,” said Musumeci speaking to La7. “Here no one has absolute certainty because no one has had experience in the face of a health calamity of catastrophic dimensions. There is no experience – he underlined – We governors had never taken a crash course, none of us have a certificate, we had to invent a strategy in front of which we are convinced that the vaccine remains the only remedy to allow us not to end up in the cemetery “. “We have to convince ourselves that the vaccine is the only deterrent that with the third, fourth or fifth dose gives us the right to stay on earth,” he concluded.
