Lockdown in October? Bassetti: “Those who say no to vaccine stay at home”

“In the last few days I’ve heard about lockdowns or new red zones. If someone doesn’t want to get vaccinated, he’ll be at home.” Professor Matteo Bassetti does not change his mind. Those who say yes to the covid vaccine should not, in the event of restrictive measures or future lockdowns, suffer the same prohibitions that should be applied to the unvaccinated. “We have a broader range of resistance to vaccination than I expected, we are talking about 20-25% of the population: we will probably arrive in October with one in 5 Italians not vaccinated. That’s a lot, we are talking about 12-14 million Italians “says the director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino hospital in Genoa in Tonight Italy. “In the last few days I have heard about lockdowns or new red zones. If one does not want to get vaccinated, he will stay at home. The same thing in school: we will not be able to think of putting vaccinated children in Dad”, he says again. “If we forget. the 125 thousand deaths and 4.5 million cases we have had in Italy, we have not understood anything. We are not talking about chickenpox, we are talking about the biggest pandemic in the world. If one does not get vaccinated, why should he put someone else’s life at risk? If someone decides they don’t want to get vaccinated … The other tool can be the green pass: those who don’t have it in October don’t go to a restaurant, cinema or stadium … “, he continues. “I am not saying that there must be an obligation to vaccinate. I say that a moral suasion is needed: if you do not vaccinate, you do not do some things. I think that politics, all of it, should take clearer positions in relation to vaccines. leave the politicians with the match in hand: we must all keep it, politicians and doctors … “.
