“We too are surprised that our indications have been transformed into decrees.” If to say it is Agostino Miozzo, coordinator of the Technical Scientific Committee for the coronavirus emergence established at the Civil Protection, then it is true that perhaps something is wrong. Many in recent months have accused the government chaired by Giuseppe Conte not knowing how to take responsibility and download all decisions, even political ones, on the experts called to act as lightning rods. Miozzo also says, quite frankly, that the members of the Committee are not “the oracle of Delphi”.
Miozzo goes down hard: “We have been asked for opinions, if then they are translated into government measures, it is a responsibility of the government and not ours. The Technical Scientific Committee cannot feel responsible for the structural disaster that is the school in our country” , says the expert during the hearing in the Culture Commission on how to resume teaching activities in the next school year. “I also can’t stand the mask, it bothers me” however “in the current state of knowledge the mask is useful for reducing the risk of infection”.
“I replied very uneasily – added Miozzo – and I must say that in my opinion many of you overestimate the role and function of the CTS, which is an aggregation of experts called to give scientific advice. The CTS has expressed opinions, the guidelines are the responsibility of the ministry. I want to say that what I say is not a lie but it is the expression of what the CTS is doing, we give the indications someone transforms our indications “.
