Vaccine Sputnik, Viola immunologist: “Strange phone call when I rejected it”

When the work on the anti-covid vaccine “Sputnik was published, together with Enrico Bucci and other colleagues at the international level, we wrote a comment in the Lancet to say that the vaccine did not actually work. In those days, apart from my telephone it started to give serious problems, I got a very strange phone call, from a person who said he was from the Ministry of Interior, security, I don’t remember. And he told me he wanted information: he wanted to know if I knew more about the Sputnik vaccine. One strange phone call, he asked me for data “. This was revealed for the first time by the immunologist of the University of Padua, Antonella Viola, guest of ‘Forrest’ on Rai Radio1. “I was trying to understand better who he was but he was very vague. He told me that he would come to see me in the studio but he never came again – added the scientist -. Obviously it was not someone from the ministry, I guess not, but I I was left with the doubt as to who this strange person was who presented himself and who wanted to know why I had criticized the vaccine “.
