Here is how Sileri crushes Guerra and the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Health

How and why the Undersecretary for Health, the doctor Pierpaolo Sileri, again criticized the high administrative management of the department headed by Roberto Speranza

Invitations (unheard) 15 months ago to buy respirators and increase intensive care.

Ranieri Guerra's reassurances (later revealed to be phony) on the updating of the pandemic plan.

Minutes of the CTS requested and never received.

And even direct collaborators of Sileri not paid for months by the ministry.

Here are the latest accusations by the undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, at the administrative top of the health department headed by Roberto Speranza.

Here are all the details.

THE CRITICISM OF SILERI A GUERRA

“Ranieri Guerra, in December 2020, kept telling me that he had left an updated plan. Plan that I have never found ". The undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, does not mince words, speaking on Omnibus , the La7 program, and talks about what has happened in recent months.

SILERI: THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PANDEMIC PLAN HAS BEEN UPDATED

Let's start with one of the thorniest topics of recent months: the failure to update the pandemic plan. “Some things are understood over time. Until December, then throughout May, June, July, August, some who are now no longer here at the Ministry kept telling me that the pandemic plan had been updated. It took the prosecutor of Bergamo to confirm that the plan was that of 2006 ”, says Sileri speaking to Omnibus.

WHAT WAR SAID TO SILERI

"I assure you that despite an e-mail received on April 15, 2020, in which it was said that it had been updated in 2008-2009, there were subjects within the Ministry who were convinced, perhaps by dint of telling a lie it becomes truth. , that the pandemic plan had been updated ”, Sileri continues, adding that“ Ranieri Guerra in December 2020 kept telling me that he had left an updated plan. Plan that I have never found. You understand that it is also difficult to get answers ”.

THE SILENCE OF THE CTS

Answers, according to the Undersecretary for Health, never even granted by the CTS, the Technical Scientific Committee. “You forget that I probably never got the CTS minutes. You forget that out of 30 questions I asked the CTS I never got an answer ”, Sileri argues. “Agostino Miozzo, candidly, in October 2020 tells me << Look, I have had instructions not to give information >>. I still have to understand who it is who gave these orders ”.

THE UNLISTENED ALARM

Sileri, therefore, cut off, Yet weeks before the outbreak of the pandemic it was precisely the current Undersecretary of Health, as he himself says, who understood the danger and asked for serious interventions.

“On January 28-29, 2020, I asked to buy respirators. I said that perhaps the virus would come to us and that it was therefore better to hire new staff and increase the number of intensive care posts in internal medicine ”, says Sileri, hinting that the alarm went unheeded.

TO WHO FALSE MINUTES

Sileri's allegations go far beyond the pandemic alone. "We have an Italy, and unfortunately the Ministry of Health proved it, that when the quality certifications sent to the WHO etc. were made, it was written that everything was fine".

Prevention made up of bureaucracy alone, Sileri explains: "I heard a disconcerting interview made by the Director General of Prevention, in which he reported that these reports they sent to the WHO, the last of which was done in early February 2020, was bureaucracy . How can a country change if the administration is not made responsible ".

AN UNPAID OFFICE

And will the non-payment of Sileri's office depend on the bureaucracy? “I had a completely unpaid office. I have a head of the secretariat, since I was Deputy Minister, never paid. I had a General of the Carabinieri never consolidated in my office, an Air Force Lieutenant who was never paid, in all for six months. Everything can be said to myself, except that he did not work with his head down and with the utmost transparency ".

"It will be a pleasure for me, when I have finished my mandate, to call the journalists, give my computer password and leave it at your complete disposal", explains Sileri, arguing that "there will be a way" to speak the truth, but "First we must bring the dead to 10, 5, 0 deaths a day and then deal with those who made a mistake ”.

THE DISMISSAL OF SILERI A HOPE AND WAR

Pierpaolo Sileri, however, is not new to these statements.

On the failure to update the pandemic plan, speaking to Report , he confessed: "That the pandemic plan was old is true". "I think that some explanation from this point of view should be given", said Sileri, denying Ranieri Guerra and those who defended him, that is the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza.

SILERI: 2006 PLAN. NOTHING EVEN DUE TO INFLUENCE

The same Undersecretary for Health, interviewed by La Verità retrodata the plan to 2006, adding: the point is not to have a 'vintage' plan, but to have a plan that, even if old, has been declined at the peripheral level ".

“What was done about the flu? – adds Sileri – Since I returned to Italy, that is, between 2005 and 2018, I have never taken a course on influenza in the hospital. Or on bioterrorism. Or on nuclear attacks ”.

SILERI: HERE'S WHO AND HOW IT WAS WRONG

And again in the newspaper directed by Maurizio Belpietro, Sileri had added : “Guerra sent a letter dated 09.15.2017 in which there is a note on the renewal of the plan. Claudio D'Amario did the same thing in 2018 with Minister Giulia Grillo ”.

“And indeed Lorenzin and Grillo have moved. The first instructed the practice, the second carried it out with lots of work groups “. The point is that “if I had been general manager I would have written a note on the plan that summarized what has happened in the last ten years. Not a simple page ".

SILERI AND THE MISAPPUNTO ON THE LUER LOCK

Sileri's disappointment with the Ministerial choices also comes out on the choices of luer lock syringes for vaccinations made by Domenico Arcuri, the former Extraordinary Commissioner for the emergency. For Sileri, rather than avoiding the waste of the vaccine dose (unlikely even with standard syringes) it was necessary to pay attention to the safety of the operators.

“I would be much more careful to cover the needle instead: one thing is to vaccinate a few dozen people; another a few million Italians. And I have to protect my colleagues, who not infrequently get stung while putting the syringe back on. Having the needle that can be covered and then thrown away is the most important aspect. This protects the operator ”, Pierpaolo Sileritold Quarta Repubblica .

“The luers, which are screwed on, allow you to avoid some waste, as happens when perhaps the syringe opens. But, frankly, that is very unlikely to happen. Almost impossible, to tell the truth, ”Sileri added.
