Virologist Roberto Burioni is positive for Covid: “In the end he took me too, but vaccines save us”
Neither Roberto Burioni was spared by Covidthe virologist is positive and in an interview with Corriere della Sera: “I’m here at home with just a little sore throat and cough and with the desire to joke about cavernous voice, it’s only thanks to the vaccines“. Burioni he continues: “I skilfully hid myself for two and a half years but, like everyone else now”.
Last September 30th, Roberto Burioni had taken the fourth dose: “I was vaccinated shortly before the resumption of university lessons but it did not help. All to be expected, the virus, in these two and a half years, has changed a lot and today the vaccine does not completely protect against infection, but against serious illness. And this, I want to say it right away, it is a great scientific success“.
You can catch Covid even shortly after the last vaccination, but the chances of ending up in the hospital are reduced, as Roberto Burioni says: “Exactly. Covid today is no longer what we have known in 2020. At the time it had not yet developed its variants, which are nothing more than attempts at adaptation and survival. When the first vaccines came out, those could also protect against infection. Here was born the purely political sense of a provision such as the green pass. But things have changed “.
While, with the arrival of the Omicron variant the virologist responds: “Yes, and in particular with the variant that is circulating now, Omicron 5. An extremely contagious variant that can ‘break through’ immunity, an immunity that still protects against serious illness. In summary: up to the Delta variant we are we also vaccinated to protect altre. Since Omicron, we have been vaccinated primarily to protect ourselves themselves. That is why it is important that Omicron does not find us unprepared, that is, without a vaccine “, he remarks.
Roberto Burioni about the fourth dose, confirms: “I think it is appropriate to do it to all those who are over 12 years old and who have been vaccinated or have contracted the disease for more than 120 days. The fourth dose is one more weapon we have against this pathology with which we must learn to live with “.
