Covid, Capua: “If with vaccines this will be a party at Christmas”

“If we go on like this, #Christmas will be a party and we will leave the virus at stake”. The virologist and professor at the University of Florida, Ilaria Capua, writes on Twitter. “Today my ‘thanks’ to those who get vaccinated are over 400 thousand and they are for all those who went to get vaccinated yesterday”. Yesterday the scientist, to Eight and a Half, referred to “good news” relating to the Omicron variant. “The virus does not appear to be causing more severe cases. The fact that the Omicron variant is more transmissible is related to the fact that it is a different virus,” he said. Pfizer argues that the booster dose of the vaccine offers high protection against the variant. “The recall is the last piece of the wall we are building against this virus. Three doses of the vaccine give an excellent response and block the Omicron variant which, poor thing, has suffered a media pillory: there has been too much talk about it and badly”, said the scientist, pointing out that “the less we get vaccinated, the longer it will last”.
