Covid today Italy, the alarm: “We risk 90 thousand deaths among the unvaccinated”

“Of the 3 million not covered by the vaccine we can expect in the next year, if the virus continues to circulate, 90 thousand deaths among the non-immunized”. This is the alarm in the Adnkronos Salute of Carlo Palermo, national secretary of Anaao-Assomed, the union of hospital doctors. “We continue to support the vaccination obligation for all against Sars-CoV-2. A position that takes into account the fact that today the Covid departments, both in intensive care and in sub-intensive care, are 80-90% employed by non And if this situation continues, the lives of about 3 million people who have not been vaccinated will be at risk. I remember that the lethality of the virus, in the infected population, is 3% “. “Politics has not chosen to carry out the vaccination obligation, it has not assumed this burden – observes Palermo -. It has chosen an administrative provision, such as the Green pass. A surrogate measure that, however, without the obligation” of vaccine, “it is necessary and on which there is no turning back, because the safety of the entire community would be put at risk. We are tired, as hospitals, of having to occupy beds in intensive care and having to give up the treatment of ordinary pathologies. already produced an excess mortality, compared to the expected of 30 thousand Italians. This is no longer acceptable, it is not ethically sustainable “.
