“If you have the opportunity, through” anti-Covid vaccination, “to avoid intubation and the hospital, why risk it?”. This is the question posed by Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri. Guest at ‘Radio Cusano Campus’, he remembers the days he discovered his coronavirus positivity last year. The day after the diagnosis, he says, “a 118 operator who was 3 years younger than me died. In the end young people die too. One can say: no, I don’t get the vaccine because I’m strong and vigorous and I won’t die. And this is probably the case because in the vast majority of cases you will not die. But since the reaction to this virus there may also be a predisposition or a factor of which you are not aware, you cannot know “, warns Sileri. And then, he continues, “why take such a risk, when you know upstream that there is a vaccine that does not cause particular problems? My nursing wife – this is the example given by the undersecretary – had the vaccine and had only one arm pain that lasted 24 hours “. Vaccinating “you put yourself in safety, because you can be 35 years old, or 49 like me, and die. As a doctor I say: I understand” the reasoning, “but I invite you to reflect. What you say is acceptable from the point of view of the sensitivity of the person, but from a scientific point of view it is nonsense and I want to help you understand. Then freedom is yours, but when there is a virus that circulates it also becomes a community problem “. The truth, reflects the undersecretary and doctor, “is that this virus always thinks it can affect someone else, but I find it hard to think that with 130 thousand deaths in Italy there are people who have not had a relative, a friend, a family member or a neighbor. who has caught this virus. A chat with a family who has suffered mourning or has had a relative intubated “would be enough to understand that there is no need to take risks. “We have the vaccine, let’s use it”. Sileri therefore invites us to use August “to vaccinate as many people as possible and be even more ready for recovery after the summer break”. “This – he explained – is the year in which we cannot even think about the holidays. We have to get out of this crisis linked to Covid and this is the time to do it. August will be a month in which I hope that, with better and constant communication on the part of this ministry and all the institutions, as many people as possible can be approached to vaccination. Because then September will arrive, with the resumption of school and activities and with the change of season, and we cannot be unprepared “not even” as a diagnostic , such as tampons “. Sileri’s hope is that “thanks to vaccination this wave will be limited in terms of the number of hospitalizations and deaths”. From a political point of view, he added continuing his reflection, this “is a time to catch your breath. I believe that a right pause and a right dialogue can help a nation that has not succumbed to the virus, because we are coming out of it head on. I hope that these last months of the legislature – a year and a half away – can see “still” a greater dialogue, which has already improved with the Draghi government “, but the undersecretary’s hope is to see” a more united Italy under the same flag “. Speaking of the probable ‘yellow’ of Sardinia, Sileri then explained that “the use of places in intensive care in a period in which there is no pressure” on the health system “must also be read with judgment. Sardinia, we see that there are indeed 10% of intensive care posts occupied, but a much lower percentage of medical posts “occupied by Covid patients. “So I would wait before saying that the situation is reaching the threshold for yellow.” “That Sardinia becomes the yellow zone” is possible and probable, but be careful – he warns – today it is possible that patients who then have a very fast turnover, that is to enter first and leave earlier, are admitted to intensive care. Conversely, a year ago when the intensive care units were busy, access was perhaps more delayed, with more serious, elderly and compromised patients “. Therefore, concludes the undersecretary,” pay attention to these numbers, which can fluctuate with greater speed “.
