After the case of the Policlinico San Martino in Genoa, two other episodes of contagion induced in the patients of the Lavagna hospital and in the hospitalization of Tiglieto by health personnel who had refused vaccination were recorded in Liguria. There is a responsibility of the health and welfare institutions, which according to Carlo Palermo, Assomed secretary, have “the obligation to guarantee safety in the workplace […] proceed with the vaccination of workers […] in case of refusal, the operator must be transferred to another job “. Perhaps it would be better to suspend him for unfitness without pay, because it is not right to give health care No vaxes a substantial privilege. The responsibility does not lie with companies alone: it is clear that in order not to tackle a problem that presents some doubtful aspects on a constitutional level, politics has chosen not to intervene with mandatory rules, and has made a mistake.
To try to safeguard public health, very heavy obligations and prohibitions have been imposed on the population, objectively limiting constitutional rights. It was right to do it and it has been done. Why does the same method, that of putting people’s health safety first, not apply to health and care personnel who are in contact with people at risk of contagion, making vaccination an indispensable requirement for eligibility for the service? If there is a case of necessity and urgency this is it, so it would be good to issue a decree to this effect, perhaps accompanying it with immunity for the staff who vaccinates and cannot be held responsible for any, however very unlikely, subsequent health complications. Of all the freedoms, that of causing illness to others is neither foreseen nor predictable, and we must act accordingly. Immediately.
