Vaccine 5-11 years, Crisanti: “There is a problem, we must not be silent”

“I am very much in favor of vaccines and I believe that children must be vaccinated sooner or later, there is no doubt about that. But that particular study on which the authorizations are based has problems.” Professor Andrea Crisanti reiterates his doubts about the immediate vaccination of children in the 5-11 age group against covid. Millions of children between the United States and Israel have already been vaccinated against covid, note the director of the laboratory of microbiology and virology at the University of Padua. “Apparently he is right. Either we are all silent, or if someone raises a problem, the problem must be gutted”, says Crisanti, turning to Lilli Gruber at Eight and a half. “I understand that there may be complexity and inexperienced people fail to form an opinion. A group of experts used data that in other circumstances they would not have used. there is no doubt about that. But that particular study on which the authorizations are based has problems. It is much worse if everyone is silent. I think that in a month, when the vaccine arrives in Italy, we will have enough data, “he says. Crisanti. The vaccine for the 5-11 year old group has just received the OK from the EMA. “You don’t have to be ideological. The AstraZeneca vaccine was approved with a number of cases that did not allow to capture the complication that then led to the suspension of the vaccine. And there is no doubt about this, because it is so,” says Crisanti.
