The former motorcycling champion retracted what he said in an interview. On social media they attack him: “You are looking for visibility”
Milan – Marco Melandri has second thoughts: he has no longer taken Covid voluntarily. The pilot made a video on Instagram in which he retracted everything he said in an interview with MOW (mowmag.com): “For an ironic joke, a storm came out. I’m sorry but I didn’t contract it voluntarily and I haven’t been in contact with a positive. Jokingly I said “if I am positive it will be out of necessity, so I will have the Green Pass” ».
During the controversial interview, the sportsman had declared: “I caught the virus because I tried to catch it, and, unlike many vaccinated people, I made a tremendous effort to get infected”. In the video released in the evening, Melandri added: «Mine was a joking phrase. I would never go somewhere to be with someone who had Covid to get me sick. This I would never have done and I would never have recommended it to my worst enemy. I’m sorry if my words have been misinterpreted ». Words that earned him several vitriolic comments on social media, among those who accuse him of being “in search of visibility” because “he has been away from public life for years”.
In the afternoon Melandri had also participated in the No Green Pass event in Milan organized by the Italexit movement of Gianluigi Paragone in Milan, together with the Nobel Prize winner and well-known no vax, the virologist Professor Luc Montagnier. Speaking from the stage, Melandri had incited the crowd with his story of being infected with Covid: “I have always chased my dream, every day, being among the people, we have to take back our freedom. We have to give the kids the freedom to play sports, we can’t deny them, I want to look my daughter in the face ».
The former motorcycling champion had also told, during the interview, that he “made it on purpose to get infected in order to be in good standing for at least a few months and it wasn’t even easy. I had to get infected by necessity, having to work and not considering the vaccine as a valid alternative ». However, the disease was not hard: «I am fine, completely asymptomatic from the beginning. I’ve been negative for a while now, but those who do not have a Green pass must still remain in punishment for ten days (if you don’t have the green card you have to stay at home in detention more). If a guy hadn’t called me to tell me he was positive after being in contact with me, I wouldn’t have even noticed. ”
