Data on deaths from Covid: Draghi risks the complaint this time
The incorrect data on the vaccination status or otherwise of the covid-19 deaths provided at the press conference by Prime Minister Mario Draghi are still arousing lively controversy. On the contrary, they risk generating a real complaint due to alarm from the consumer association "Codacons".
Here is their press release:
Serious error on the number of deaths from Covid by Premier Mario Draghi, who is invited today by Codacons to rectify the statements made at the press conference on 22 December last.
During his speech, the Prime Minister stated that "of the deaths, three quarters are not vaccinated". However, these numbers are denied by the latest available data published by the Higher Institute of Health (ISS), according to which from 22 October to 21 November the deaths from COVID-19 in Italy were 1,755: among them 722 were not vaccinated, while 1,033 had received at least the first dose of the vaccine. Thus, 58.9% of the dead had received at least one dose and 41.1% were not vaccinated. Exactly the opposite of what Draghi said.
We can understand that a Premier may exaggerate in his statements but on the data, especially if they are so delicate because they relate to a health emergency in progress, he must always maintain absolute seriousness, to avoid causing unnecessary fear and suffering especially during the holidays.
For this reason, Codacons today invites Premier Draghi to rectify the incorrect information provided to citizens, otherwise a complaint to the Prosecutor's Office will be unavoidable due to alarm.
So, if the words make sense, either Draghi eats a good chunk of the press conference or risks a complaint, frankly justified because the data was wrong. In a press conference you do not go with the wrong data, also because they did not come up with them by surprise. He mentioned them, of his own free will. At least he could fire the messy ghostwriter!
