Burioni, Minelli: “Doctor, accept criticism and recover appropriate tones”

“As doctors we cannot only welcome the applause of those who define us as heroes, even the whistles are part of the democratic package. I therefore consider it necessary to recover the tones and methods most suited to the role of the doctor, without ever being dragged into the whirlwind of the clash. savage, and renouncing to make our thought prevail as the one and only thought of truth on this earth “. This was underlined to Adnkronos Salute by the clinical immunologist and allergist Mauro Minelli, coordinator for Southern Italy of the Foundation for Personalized Medicine, speaking on the Codacons’ choice to denounce the virologist Roberto Burioni, asking for his radiation from the Order of Doctors, for the post on Twitter in which he wrote: “I propose a collection to pay the no-vax subscriptions to Netflix for when, from 5 August, they will be under house arrest locked in the house like mice”. “Also because others are beginning to be real emergencies, not least of which is the failure of Covax which, compared to the more well-known ‘no-vax’, has a single letter of the alphabet as its difference, but has devastating consequences as a result of which no one, leading politicians, seems to be taking care of alerts that have so far remained completely unheard “, remarks Minelli. “We suspected that an emergency of this magnitude would have important social and even moral consequences, but I confess I never imagined that such a level of ideological clash could be reached – concludes the immunologist – The question of the need to vaccinate must be distinguished from the obligation to vaccinate, because people’s needs cannot be met with impositions, but with dialogue. Science must be explained with method and style, otherwise people will reject it as a tyrant refuses “.
