“There are numerous variants, the three best known are English, Brazilian and South African. The first seems to be correctly neutralized by the vaccine. While the other two do not guarantee to be reinfected nor are we certain that the vaccine will be effective against them. . The theme, however, is: why did the ministry of health not push enough for the sequencing of the variants? We have been talking about it for months, so the problem does not arise now but was already posed months ago “. Matteo Bassetti, director of infectious diseases at San Martino di Genova, criticizes the management of the problem by intervening in ‘the air that pulls’ on La7.
“What is happening in our country is quite surreal – continues Bassetti – there are no series a or series b vaccines. There has been bad information on this, we must not confuse the level of effectiveness with the protection of the population. , all those we have available, are valid to reduce and neutralize hospitalizations and serious development of the disease, in many cases even the onset of the disease. All three vaccines in our availability. Pfizer, Moderna and Astrazeneca guarantee protection from the form of the disease to 100% “.
