The European vaccination campaign? Numbers in hand, a colossal failure. We need to change the paradigm.

The European vaccination campaign is the most striking example of the Union's Organizational failure and how this construction is something absolutely harmful that does not solve the problems, but creates them. Let's move on to the figures:

  • Italy has received a minimal amount of vaccines compared to the needs, having arrived only 450 thousand. Let us consider that, to try to have a basis of immunity, if we can hope for it. Despite this, only 7.5% of vaccines have been inoculated, with the risk of expiring even part of the supply. In the end, there is no organization to manage mass incidents;
  • the problem is not ours alone, because even Germany the numbers of vaccinated people are not at all exciting with telephone prefix percentages, sometimes international. In the Union, only Denmark has made a serious start, with 0.51% of the population already vaccinated. The UK is already at 1.47%, but Israel has surpassed one million and is now aiming for over 8%. Israel, a small and out-of-the-way state, does much, much better than the bureaucratic monsters like those in Brussels.
  • in the meantime the UK has already approved the Astra Zeneca vaccine, as the US will soon do, while the EU waits, waits….

In Italy, therefore, we made 35,000 vaccines from 28 to 1 January. Only yesterday there were 23,000 cai of positivity, and we are only talking about those identified with the tests. Can we hazard a guess that at least another 10,000 were not detected by the tests because they were asymptomatic or confused with the flu? So we have about 900,000 positives per month, people who, fortunately, mostly recover. When will we get to vaccinate a million people in a month, with a shortage of vaccines? How many months will it take to cover the minimum to talk about herd immunity, if this ever occurs?

Therefore the vaccination route appears to be really complex to follow and will take a very long time. The Union has shown all its inefficiency and the Conte government has been no less. What can be done? We must go back to medicine and treat the sick with more serious and worrying cases. Concentrating on therapeutic protocols at all levels, from the initial ones to the most serious ones and here both AIFA and the university faculties should intervene, using experimental protocols on a wide spectrum, including on the public.

After all, vaccines are all experimental protocols, so much so that they are usable, but with a ban on marketing, simply because they have not been studied enough. So we should treat Covid-19 for what it is a disease to be cured, even with experimental drugs, not some sort of bubonic plague to apply a vaccine that is not there and that, however, this requires trust in medical facilities, and in the doctors themselves, who should be left to choose an alternative drug therapy, but above all to face everything with great coolness and practicality. The one that is nowhere to be seen.
