The enthusiasm of these days for the arrival of the vaccine against the Coronavirus and its administration clashes with the statements of the deniers. Those not in favor of getting vaccinated. Among these, also some health professionals who have expressed their opposition. Not only among insiders but also publicly on social media and on TV affirming their position against vaccines.

Doctors deniers - vaccine

The first official response to such critical positions, which could partly nullify the effect of a mass vaccination, comes from the Order of Doctors of Rome. The Order has in fact initiated (as reported by the Adnkronos news agency) a disciplinary procedure “for 3 doctors who, in local television broadcasts and on social networks, have expressed positions opposed to the anti-Covid vaccination. The reports came from colleagues and patients. A denial doctor has already replied and will have to go to the disciplinary committee which will meet in January, for the other 2 we await an answer ".

deniers doctors

Words are of Antonio Magi, Omceo president of the capital. Magi himself specified that this provision specifically concerns doctors opposed to the anti-Covid vaccination and not to other mandatory vaccines or to the flu one. He also added that almost 70 percent of doctors in Lazio would have given the okay to the anti-Covid vaccination requested by health companies. The same figure would also be recorded at the national level.

Those who work in hospitals cannot be among the deniers, according to Deputy Minister Sileri

Italian doctors who deny vaccines, including the anti Covid one, made themselves heard immediately, even before the start of this path that led to the start of vaccination procedures throughout Italy. Raising very critical positions not only from their colleagues but also from representatives of the state. The first to express perplexity was the Deputy Minister of Health Pierpaolo Sileri, also a doctor. According to Sileri, if any uncertainty regarding this vaccination can be understood when it is expressed by non-experts, it becomes incomprehensible by health professionals. Those who on the front line saw and experienced the Coronavirus drama in Italian hospitals, and its over 70 deaths. Denier doctors and nurses, says Sileri, have done the wrong job. Fortunately, he adds, these are few people.

Hypothesis of a license for those who will be vaccinated

The deputy minister, in an interview with the press, also stresses that at the moment no obligation is foreseen and contemplated. While declaring himself confident, he adds however that, if in the coming months the vaccination campaign does not reach two thirds of the population, some countermeasures will have to be thought of. On this front, there are many positions oriented towards the possible adoption of tools that somehow convince the population of the importance of mass vaccination to defeat the pandemic. The possibility of a sort of license to be assigned to those who will be vaccinated is hypothesized by many. The Undersecretary for Health Sandra Zampa does not rule out the possibility, in the future, of an obligation for public employees.
