Ricciardi: “Friend of Zangrillo, I respect him as an anesthetist”

“I consider myself a friend of Zangrillo. And I respect him as an anesthetist.” This is the only response from Walter Ricciardi, consultant to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza for the Covid emergency and professor of Hygiene at the Catholic University of Rome, to the tweet of Alberto Zangrillo, head of anesthesia and resuscitation of the Irccs San Raffaele of Milan who, commenting on Ricciardi’s social intervention on Twitter, wrote “confusion and psychological terrorism. We missed them”. Read also Ricciardi had tweeted in response to a user who asked him: “We have to vaccinate as much as possible. But @yaneerbaryam”, he wrote referring to Yaneer Bar-Yam, an American scientist specializing in complex systems, “he says that if you get Covid when vaccinated the risk is similar so it is good to be careful “. Hence Zangrillo’s comment.
