The government does not rule out the mandatory nature of anti Covid vaccines
How the government discusses and divides over the mandatory nature of Covid vaccines. Facts, names and documents.
Will the Covid vaccine be mandatory? No, for the moment. But if citizens' voluntary membership is low, then the government could intervene.
"It will take 60-70% of the vaccinated population to have herd immunity," according to Gianni Rezza, director general of Prevention at the Ministry of Health. But the compulsory nature could trigger a political confrontation.
Let's go step by step.
VACCINE NOT OBLIGATORY
Let's start with the intentions of the executive. "At the moment it is not the intention of the Government to make vaccination compulsory", reads the website of the Ministry of Health, in the Faq section on vaccines.
At the moment, therefore, the line of the Minister for Health, Roberto Speranza, is being followed: "My approach today is not of a security nature that focuses on mandatory nature", Speranza had said to the microphones of In Onda . “We must build a relationship of trust with citizens. The vaccine will be a real breakthrough. On obligation or not obligation we will discuss, but I trust my fellow citizens "
MANDATORY TO BE ASSESSED DURING THE CAMPAIGN
However, changes underway are not excluded. “During the campaign, the participation rate of citizens will be assessed”, reads again on the Health website . The sentence therefore suggests a possible government intervention in the event of low adhesion.
RENZI: MAKING VACCINE COMPULSORY
And in that intervention, for example, Italia Viva di Renzi hopes for it, which since August had asked to make the vaccine mandatory.
“If we really get to the Covid vaccine, this vaccine must be mandatory for everyone. Mandatory, not optional. Obligatory! For this, our deputy Lisa Noja and other friends have launched a collection of signatures so that as many people as possible put pressure on the government so that there is no step backwards to wink at NoVax. We have been locked in the house for months and if the vaccine arrives do we leave freedom of choice? Let's not joke! Here you will find the link to join the signature collection ”, said Renzi , guest of the La Piazza event in Ceglie Messapica.
PROVENZANO ALSO FAVORABLE THE COMPULSORY VACCINES
The minister for the South, Giuseppe Provenzano (Pd), also said he was in favor of obligatory. "I believe that the vaccine should be free and for everyone", said Provenzano , host of the broadcast In Onda , adding "I am obliged to vaccinate, where it is proven that it is needed".
SALVINI FOR FREEDOM OF CHOICE
On the other hand, Matteo Salvini, leader of the League, is for freedom of choice: “Freedom must always be protected, including care. There are no crazy Italians, ” Salvini told Omnibus on La7 . And when asked 'You will get vaccinated', he replied: “I will do what the doctor tells me”.
MELONS: STATE CANNOT IMPOSE OBLIGATION
Giorgia Meloni, leader of Fratelli d'Italia also shares the same opinion: “I don't think the State can impose vaccination. I think he can push with serious campaigns, saying what are the risks of not getting vaccinated, but in the meantime let's get this vaccine to Italy, which does not exist today ”, Giorgia Meloni told Rtl 102.5 microphones .
MASS MEMBERSHIP OF HEALTHCARE
For now, however, we are far from the imposition of the vaccination obligation. The first to be vaccinated, in fact, will be doctors and nurses. And the health personnel joined the campaign en masse: “Health service employees gave mass vaccine adhesion, with data in certain regions over 90% and in any case almost everywhere above 80%. For this reason, at the moment, measures are not considered necessary to make vaccination against Covid mandatory ”, writes Repubblica.
