Reduce Covid Deaths? Just don’t be like Conte, Speranza and Scanzi
Do you want to reduce the mortality of covid-19 in a short time and without changing existing availability? Beyond home care, it was enough NOT to do as Conte and Speranza did and as Scanzi did in Tuscany: it was necessary to vaccinate not by category, but strictly by age, starting with the elderly.
A research published by Il Giornale and conducted by the ISPI Institute, which is not exactly a sovereign den, the drop in mortality we are witnessing now and which will reach -21% at the end of the month, it would have been possible to reach at the beginning of February if, instead of by categories, we had started vaccinating strictly by age. given that mortality rises vertically in over seventies, if we had focused on them the goal of the 21% mortality drop at the end of March we would have reached it in early February and at the end of March we would have a -51%, that is, we would have halved mortality.
The choice of Conte and Speranza not to proceed in this way, but to vaccinate by categories, some understandable, others much less, has instead prevented the creation of this effect. Here we are talking about the dead, not the sick, so the responsibility is very great. And if we can understand the vaccination of doctors and nurses, we understand much less that of administrative staff, law enforcement agencies, teaching staff, when in DAD, ordinary judges, Not to mention the vaccination of lawyers in Tuscany , all in a region where the 80-year-olds have not yet been vaccinated, those actually at risk.
Then we have the human cases, like that of the journalist Scanzi who, in Tuscany, was vaccinated in advance because in a "Secret" list of stopgaps, made public only after his vaccination, when his parents are not yet vaccinated. Here all this should be avoided, vaccinating, with advanced doses, however elderly people are part of the list, even at the cost of having a dozen more come to vaccination centers (with a sort of overbooking) or going to their home. We must cover the weakest, the elderly, not the "Furbetti della striparella".
