Economic Scenarios

Philosophers and historians against the Green Pass. Isn’t it that the more mediocre you are, the more you conform?

I would like to ask a quick question: isn't it that in the contrast between "Pros" and "Cons" Green Pass and vaccination obligations the former often are an expression of banal submission to power, while the latter express a lucid and autonomous thought?

Let's take two profoundly different examples from two different points of view. The historian, university professor and well-known popularizer Alessandro Barbero is against the Green Pass, and he says it clearly, in addition to having signed the document of the professors opposed to this constraint:

In the case of Barbero, who is not a doctor, but a historian, the objection is above all to the Green pass: If the vaccine were really so safe and positive, then it would be better to make it compulsory, but the Green Pass is a hypocritical tool , which only discriminates, therefore unfair. Here we are not faced with a No vax, but a rational person who still recognizes what is right and what is not, and what is discrimination and what is not.

Because then there is no obligation to vaccinate, Here comes the philosopher Cacciari, who talks about the lack of information relating to vaccines. Here too we are not faced with a madman No Vax who speaks of "Graphene oxide" and similar nonsense, but of a philosopher who cites extensive jurisprudence on the fact that one cannot impose an obligation, even indirect, in the face of the lack of adequate knowledge. Del Resto even the WHO advises against vaccination for minors except in the face of specific pathologies. Instead we want to put a hypocritical and indirect vaccination obligation, with the Green pass, or direct.

After a bit of experience on social media, I have the impression, and not even vague, that the part of Italians who still use a little salt in their pumpkin, who thinks, who thinks for themselves, is for vaccination freedom , which is not being No Vax, but letting everyone make their own reasoning and take, personally, their responsibilities towards themselves and others. On the contrary, those who find it difficult to think, lovers of the strong man, those with very strong personal or business reasons, find it easy to conform to power and assume its ideas, even when these are contrary to respect for personal rights. Perhaps this crisis has been useful to understand, beyond personal and political ideas, his back is straight from those who bend like reeds in the wind.

PS then, from Barbero, look at some historical conferences
