Time.news – “We have exceeded 65 million doses administered, 65% of vaccinable people have had a first dose and 55% have completed the cycle. We must insist. I believe that Italians are very clear that the vaccine is the essential weapon for put these difficult months behind us. Green pass and vaccines are two essential tools with which to end this difficult season to try to open another one and we are freer if we are vaccinated. My appeal to all Italians is to continue to vaccinate “.
Roberto Speranza he says he is “very satisfied” with the results achieved by the vaccination campaign in Italy but continues to urge Italians to be cautious. The increase in infections is recorded in all European countries, he warns, and also in the United States where there are infections that are growing significantly.
“This is caused by the Delta variant, a very insidious variant, very fast in spreading precisely for this reason today more than ever – he insists – we must respect the correct behaviors that we have learned in these difficult months: the use of the mask, the distancing and above all insist on the vaccine which is the ‘most important weapon we have to defend ourselves and to protect everyone else “. Speranza therefore highlights” a very strong acceleration in the last few days of bookings after the government announced the extension of the use of the green pass. A tool that allows us to make the places of socialization safer, the places where we will meet our friends and our families “. Hence” my appeal – he concludes – to all Italians to continue to be vaccinated because the vaccine is really the ‘most important weapon we have if we want to open a different season “.
“I believe that vaccines on the one hand and the green pass on the other are a great tool of freedom: we must not be afraid. We have learned this in recent days. Vaccinating is the most effective way to protect yourself and others”, he adds, “even the numbers of the green pass are stratospheric numbers. Around the green pass there is the largest digitization operation in history: this morning we are at 49 million green passes downloaded“.
On the obligation of the green pass in the workplace, the minister takes time. “In recent months, the country has held up also because the social forces have been able to work together. I believe it has been an important value and I hope that in the next few days the representatives of workers and employers will still be able to sit at a table and find the best solutions. These are delicate choices that have to do with people’s lives and must be decided together “, he says before speaking at the national day of Article One in Borgo Panigale di Bologna, together with Romano Prodi.
While the reaction to manifestations no vax. “I did not like yesterday’s demonstrations, even with respect for opinions. The wrong thing is to raise the flag of freedom: the opposite is true, the vaccine is the most sensational and greatest weapon of freedom we have. It is science that tells us “. “President Draghi – he remembers – said very clear words, in my opinion in the right tone: getting vaccinated helps save lives and this pandemic has taught us one thing, that either we all go out together or we don’t get out”. In any case, he continues, “without a professorial tone when there is a person who has a doubt you have to stay there and explain. It is an exception that you are getting in the way is a little piece do not think that the square is the country, the country is aware “. “When the wrong message arrives somewhere in politics, damage is done to the country. When it is said that under the age of 40 you can also not vaccinate, it is damage to the country and this is not acceptable”, he concludes, returning to criticize Matteo Salvini.
The no vax “are not only all over Italy they are all over the world”, he notes, for his part, Prodi. “It is a small fringe, the ‘lunatic fringe’ as the Anglo-Saxons called it. It is everywhere. In Italy there is a little less than in France or in the United States. There is always someone who denigrates it. science and progress. The trouble is that these also damage others. “It is really a serious problem but it is not just an Italian problem but of modern society that is like this”. “The green pass – adds the Professor – it is useful for everyone’s health and we must be aware that if we do not use it we harm others. Freedom is not only an individual fact but it is also a collective fact “.
