No green pass in the square, Galli: “Excellent vehicle for covid”

“This is not the time to think that we can try to pretend that the problem does not exist, I fear it is an excellent vehicle for the spread of the virus”. Massimo Galli, director of Infectious Diseases at the Sacco hospital in Milan, a guest of ‘Agorà Estate’ on RaiTre, says this, answering the question on the consequences of the no vax movement demonstrations against the mandatory green pass in Italy during the weekend. “I hope that hospital admissions will not increase” but in the face of demonstrations such as those against the green pass “I begin to fear so. Very clearly said, in the current state of affairs, above all the unvaccinated are infected, even a good portion of the vaccinated it can be infected. Among the unvaccinated it is easy to develop if they are of a certain age. The disease as we have known it also leads to resuscitation or worse. I am talking mainly, but not exclusively, of the unvaccinated: those who are immunized makes a mild disease “, remarks Galli.” There are Regions where there is an important percentage of over 65s who are not vaccinated, let’s remember that this vaccine does not completely cover the infection and the Delta variant but it does cover hospitalization, the resuscitation and the cemetery in the vast majority of cases. Then there are also people who do not respond to the vaccine and we are doing too little on these “, remembers Galli.
