From Bassetti to Pregliasco, Lopalco and Burioni. Experts against the amendment, announced by League senator Claudio Borghi, to remove the obligation for pediatric vaccines. “There Our law on compulsory vaccines for children has been taken as an example in many countries. The proposal to remove it at a time when there is a resurgence of measles is wicked”, the infectious disease specialist told Adnkronos Salute Matteo Bassetti adding: “So it’s unfortunate that politicians, some politicians, don’t want to look at the data on the return of some diseases, from measles to whooping cough. The proposal that comes from a senator is uncommentable and, indeed, wicked. Politicians should not invade the field of science, because they only cause damage as happens when they deny the existence of Covid”.
“Senator Claudio Borghi of the League, after attacking President Mattarella, does his utmost to defend the right of whooping cough (from which one of those compulsory vaccines protects) to kill newborns!”. So on social media Roberto Burionivirologist at the Vita Salute San Raffaele University of Milan, comments on Borghi’s announcement of the amendment that he will file when converting the legislative decree on waiting lists.
The virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco he says he is surprised, yes, but not too much, by the initiative. “Borghi is not to be commented on, he is a person who spoke nonsense even in the moment of Covid, he highlighted negative aspects with a bias, without scientific approaches and knowledge. Now he goes out of his way to insert – off topic however – an element that so truly It just leaves you amazed. Some children have just died of whooping cough, a disease that is absolutely preventable with a series of vaccines”, the expert from the University of Milan comments bitterly to Adnkronos Salute.
“We welcome reasoning, a discussion on what should be the way to promote vaccines, to reach awareness. But really this is just a tirade worthy of a person who doesn’t see the interest of the community, it’s just an attempt of notoriety and of being out of the mainstream”, he concludes.
The Lorenzin law, which provides for compulsory vaccinations at school for children aged 0 to 6 years, “has demonstrated with facts that it has contributed to achieving the desired levels of vaccination coverage, without producing any increase in vaccine hesitancy. It has given good results, it makes no sense to cancel it.” It’s the comment of the Pier Luigi Lopalco, professor of Epidemiology at the University of Salento. “The novax in our country are a small minority: the problem exists in the fact that unfortunately they have a voice in the government majority”, concludes Lopalco.
