“Disconcerting, he left us with the match in hand” – Libero Quotidiano

Matteo Bassetti attacks Europe on vaccines. Guest of Andrea Pancani a Coffee break, in today’s episode 8 April, the infectious disease specialist of the San Martino hospital in Genoa thunders: “I have always defended the Emma but yesterday he took a disconcerting decision, Europe does not have a line but it does blame it on individual countries. Ha left the match in hand to individual states that can also decide on the basis of alternative vaccines “. And this, Bassetti underlines,” makes Europe very different. It is absurd that every country goes its own way “.

Seeing “the glass is half full”, continues the infectious disease specialist, “for those over 60 there seems to be no problem whatsoever. So we have to vaccinate everyone who is over 60 and who is most in need. The elderly are the people who need to be protected immediately. Let’s think about them first. Young people can wait. “And again, trying to be optimistic:” We try to take the good from a disconcerting decision of Europe “.

Certainly, once the pandemic is over, “we will have to rethink this Europe”, concludes Bassetti. On one thing, however, we must be calm; “Those who have already taken the first dose can safely do the second and that’s what Aifa said last night “.

Along the same lines too Andrea Crisanti that in an interview with The print commented: “Shockingly, the European Medicines Agency cannot wash their hands of it like this, let each country decide for itself: this creates disorientation, as well as demonstrating the lack of independence of the EMA and the weakness of the health policy of the Union. As for Germany, that of the Germans is only a political decision, dictated by the fact that there is a large presence of no vax and then they have BionTech at home: I don’t want to think badly, but perhaps there is a predilection for the Pfizer vaccine. is”.
