Rome – He says he is a supporter of the method of “persuasion” but on making the hypothesis of vaccine obligation a reality “we are evaluating“The Minister of Health Roberto Speranza enters the debate that in these days – from the introduction of the Green pass to access public places at manifestations of opposites that filled the Italian squares – is shaking public opinion. He does so by intervening on the show “Countercurrent” on Rete 4. “The vast majority of people have understood that vaccines are the real weapon for freedom, the real tool for our freedom. All the scientific evidence tells us that they are safe. I am to try to convince everyone. Where there is a doubt there is a need for an explanation, “he says.
“If a person is afraid or not convinced, the way to convince her is not to insult her but try to talk to us, and we have the facts on our side. If we don’t want to relive seasons of closures and deprivation of liberty, the vaccine is the only way“, points out.
Among the various regions there are notable scissors on the numbers, especially as regards teachers. But the idea of proceeding from territory to territory in a different way “we have not evaluated – he explains – even if there are regions in which the number of vaccinated among school staffor it is very high, others where it is very low. We have not already decided on a measure that differentiates between regions, usually the measures we do are national. But the message must not get across that teachers and school staff have not been vaccinated. The figure is very high, 85% had at least the first dose. But we want this percentage to increase, so in the next few hours we will evaluate which is the best tool “.
And the tool could also pass through the much-discussed mandatory nature. “We have decided to invest in voluntariness, on persuasion then we take a margin of reasoning, we will evaluate the data and we will understand piece by piece if introduce any obligations. For now, the obligation has been introduced only for health workers “, he underlines. The theme concerns, first and foremost, the world of school, precisely. And not only teachers, but also children. On the horizon the feared return to Dad if the post-vacation data were discouraging. “The reopening of the school in the presence and safely, without Dad, is a priority objective of the Government”, he assures.
In any case, Speranza sees the glass full: “So far the response of the Italians is an extraordinary response, we consume all the doses of vaccine we have, about 500 thousand doses per day. The answer lived up to expectations – he says -. Today we continue on this terrain and leave the hypotheses open on the field for possible interventions in areas where these interventions may still be necessary. “But he sends a message to Lega and Fratelli d’Italia, whose leaders Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni have personally spoken in favor of the vaccine but also of freedom of choice: “We can divide ourselves on everything but not on this match on which we are playing the future of Italy. I ask the political forces not to be ambiguous because this ambiguity only hurts the country “.
