On the question ofhigh number of deaths from Covid-19 in Italy also in 2022, “I see that now someone has woken up and admits there is a problem. We need to shed some light on why we have had many deaths registered as Covid, to do this it is necessary to analyze the medical records and understand if they died from other diseases and had a positive swab. If it is said that Italy is first in Europe for the use of antivirals, then why are there so many deaths? “. So at Adnkronos Salute Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino Polyclinic in Genoa, returning on what was stated in an interview by the director general of Aifa, Nicola Magrini, who stressed that Italy is the first country in Europe for the use of oral antivirals and that we need to clarify the numbers of deaths.
To shed some light on the reasons for these numbers, “one should create a medical commission and not a parliamentary commission because it is a scientific issue and not a political one and therefore it is good that this remains out of it – warns Bassetti – An external committee composed of hospital and local doctors, therefore infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, resuscitators, internists, who review medical records and clinical history of patients who died and classified as Covid deaths. I would say a sample of 2-3 thousand cases that have had a directly related death, such as pneumonia or respiratory failure. Then check who died positive for Covid, but for other pathologies. It is not a difficult investigation – he concludes – and we could leave tomorrow too. We need to understand what happened. ”
As for the use of antivirals oral against Covid “something more could have been done: the prescription of drugs should have been better organized with a direct ‘link’ between hospitals and GPs while the latter were left alone to manage drugs that have very contraindications In reality, the vast majority of prescriptions were made by hospitals and the local medicine did not give that impulse that was expected – adds Bassetti – For example, Liguria, Veneto, Lombardy, Lazio and Tuscany they did well but the others didn’t shine. ”
