“It is now clear to most that the only resource we have available to defeat Covid is vaccination. Unfortunately, a fierce minority of the population risks jeopardizing the goal of herd immunity, which can only be achieved if 80% of citizens are immunized. I have already said that I am in favor, more than once, of the mandatory nature of the vaccine, but each obligation must be subject to a penalty for non-compliance “, said Franco Dal Mas, senator of Forza Italia, member of the justice commission.
“Which is the most appropriate for those who, with their behaviors, put everyone’s health at risk? The constitutionalist Alfonso Celotto gave an answer: exclusion from the national health service, guaranteeing only urgent and essential care. It is true, according to the Charter, health is an individual’s right, a right which, however, is valid as the obligation, of the same constitutional rank, to fulfill the mandatory duties of political, economic and social solidarity, such as vaccination. road can be said to be traced, where necessary, to avoid new deaths and closures, we have the tool, the vaccines, and also the penalty for those who do not use it, exclusion from the national health service. Politics, now, has the task of making decisions courageous ”, concludes Dal Mas.
