Cacciari and third dose: “Get the vaccine, even if you disagree”

Massimo Cacciari made the third dose of vaccine, as the Gazzettino writes. “Who can go and get vaccinated. Who doesn’t agree, go there anyway, because these are the laws and as long as you don’t have the strength to change them, you have to respect them”, the words of the philosopher, who never hid his judgment negative towards the government’s handling of the covid emergency. Cacciari, in particular, has repeatedly stigmatized the use of a state of emergency. Now, when asked about the third dose, he replies: “I don’t see any case! I got the vaccine. You have to do it, you obey the laws. Philosophers obey the laws, even when they consider them totally crazy. Socrates teaches”. The yes to vaccination does not mean that positions have changed in relation to other issues. “They try to make people understand the nonsense of a law,” he says. “You try to change it. But if you can’t change it, you respect it. Or you leave.”
