Covid, Abrignani: “No vax? As tax evaders, they should not be understood”

“The no vax should not be understood, they are like tax evaders who expect others to pay for something that they then benefit. It is tax evasion against the community, they shield themselves with others”. Thus Sergio Abrignani, professor of Immunology at the State University of Milan and member of the Scientific Technical Committee (Cts), guest of ‘Radio Anch’io’ on Radio Rai1. As for the coronavirus, “I said it is turning into a flu by looking at the UK data. I mean that the lethality of this form of Covid, when it spreads to an almost fully vaccinated population like the UK, becomes a disease with a lethality comparable to that of the flu. In Italy in a normal winter the flu infects 4-8,000 people and causes 1 death in 1000 infected “. According to the immunologist “we need to get the greatest number of people vaccinated quickly in all social groups. Those who have a minimum of scientific notion of a pandemic infectious disease should say this – he remarks – then there is politics and there are no vax, but only one answer can come from a researcher: vaccinate everyone “. Abrignani’s reflections move on to what is happening in the United Kingdom. “Looking at the data we have so far and the trend from one month to today I see that in February, when very few were vaccinated in the UK, there was a lethality of 2% now the data tells us that every 1000 infected die. 1-2, so 10 times less. Here are the choices of the British government to follow a logic: we have tamed this virus and we move on “.
