Matteo Salvini returns to the controversy that broke out yesterday involving his daughter Mirta who, despite being 9 years old, did not get the anti-Covid vaccine. And recording the episode of “Porta a Porta”, which will be broadcast on Thursday evening, the leader of the League comments: «If a child is not well he is at home, if he is well he goes to school. Then, using a nine-year-old girl to attack Salvini seems petty to me: whoever has to be vaccinated should do so, let’s not joke about children ». The reason for the choice, the Northern League leader explained, is that “it is up to mum, dad and pediatricians and I am not the subject of political debate as far as I am concerned”.

Underlining his position, Salvini explains that today “there are parents, 65 per cent, who have decided not to vaccinate their children: I am among them. If there are no previous symptoms and illnesses, I don’t see why to do it ».

The leader of the Carroccio is the second political leader – after Giorgia Meloni – to announce that he will not vaccinate his daughter. The first was in fact just Meloni who, during an interview at “30 Minuti al Massimo” with the director of “La Stampa” Massimo Giannini had said: “I do not vaccinate my daughter, because the vaccine is not a religion, but a medicine, so I evaluate the risk-benefit ratio “. And, then attracting the criticism of virologists, he added: “The chances of a boy dying from Covid are the same as that of someone dying struck by lightning, that is 0.06 percent”, concluding that “this is a vaccine being tested. , which ends in 2023 “.
