Walter Ricciardi manager of Calenda: union of conflicts of interest

Walter Ricciardi, the hyper vaccinator, becomes the manager of Action, the party of Carlo Calenda which, in his expectations, aims at 20%. An almost necessary fusion between a vaccine extremist and close lover of Mario Monti, and the former executive of Confindustria.

After all, there is a lot in common, apart from the love for austerity: the equally lively love for business, bordering on conflict of interest. Indeed:

  • Ricciardi, not obliged to declare conflicts of interest when he was commissioner of the ISS, denounced them for a position at the EU, believing that he had "drawn up the Hta (HealthTechnology Assessment), that is the assessment of the impact on health, of a series of drugs for pharmaceutical companies "and of having" acted as a consultant for: Novartis for the MenB vaccine (2012), Menarini for the Nebivolol vaccine (2012), Menarini for the Remimazolam vaccine (2012), IBSA for the Fostimon vaccine (2012) ), GlaxoSmithKline for the Belimumab vaccine (2011), Pfizer for the Enbrell vaccine (2011), Pfizer for the PCV13 vaccine (2011), Astellas Pharma for the Mycamine vaccine (2010), Amgen Dompè for the Prolia vaccine (2010), Wyeth Lederle for the Prevenar vaccine (2009), Novartis for the Lucentis vaccine (2009), Sanofi Pasteur for the Gardasil vaccine (2008), GlaxoSmithKline for the Synflorix vaccine (2008), GlaxoSmithKline for the Lapatinib vaccine (2008), GlaxoSmithKline for the vaccine Hpv (2007) ". Practically all big pharma was a customer of Ricciardi. A lifetime for vaccines, which they have been generous with.
  • Carlo Calenda in 2016 had risen to press honors with the news of a not just conflict of interest when he entrusted the definition of the National Energy Strategy to a private multinational company, the Boston Consulting Group, when the decision would have been political and in any case the consultancy could be done at no cost by GSE and RSE, public bodies. The programming was done so well that we are paying the consequences in our bills now.

We do not know if Action will get 20% of the votes, but we are sure that, with such a direction, it will certainly be able to bring some satisfaction. Maybe not all Italians.
