Bassetti: “The answer to piazzas no vax comes from science”

“To the people who take to the streets” against the Covid vaccine or the Green pass “we should speak, if they want to listen, and the best answer must come from science”. Matteo Bassetti, head of infectious diseases at the San Martino hospital in Genoa, underlines this to Adnkronos Salute. “One of the strongest criticisms that comes from that square is that vaccines are experimental – recalls Bassetti – It is right that science should answer: the mRna technology dates back to 1990, however, it is the BionTech company” that developed the vaccine. a mRna “is from 2008, so many years have passed since those researches, we were working on these vaccines for Sars and Ebola. We give complete and balanced scientific information”. “But I wonder – he adds – how these people will do in the autumn when the epidemiological situation could be more complicated. If they are not convinced to immunize, it will be necessary to find tools to protect them”.
