Covid, anesthetists: “Over 90% in intensive unvaccinated”

“In our resuscitations, well over 90% of hospitalized patients are not vaccinated. And this in spite of those who maintain the low efficacy of the vaccine on the variant, whereas the data in Italy also support a spread of this variant that is around 85 -90% “. Thus, at Adnkronos Salute, Alessandro Vergallo, president of the Association of hospital resuscitators (Aaroi-Emac). “In the current panorama – emphasizes the doctor – the empirical evidence is the most reliable”. Among the “very low numbers of vaccinated people admitted to intensive care – points out Vergallo – we observe that the vast majority of them are people of advanced age and with multiple pathologies”. But “the fact that worries us most is that the percentage of unvaccinated people who end up in resuscitation is still very much under the age of 50. reasons for the vaccine and that moreover it is the age group that moves most of all “. Vergallo stresses that “in intensive care the cases are constantly increasing slightly”. “This is the result of two factors that play one against the other – explains Vergallo – the first is the spread of vaccinations and the second is an increasingly total recovery of social movement activities. We cannot predict a new closure, even if containment measures have been foreseen in relation to the occupation of the beds, but – the doctor warns – the factor on which it is absolutely necessary to intervene is the progression of the vaccination of the population “.
