The Green pass "must be tightened" to "convince people" to get vaccinated. Walter Ricciardi said this in the broadcast “The Breakfast Club” on Radio Capital.
"We are now releasing it following elaborate indications in Europe when the Delta variant was not yet dominant," said Health Minister's consultant Speranza. "Cases are growing and will continue to grow next week because the Delta variant is much more contagious," an infected now infects six or seven people. We need to increase the number of vaccinated ".
How to "stiffen" the certificate? By tying it only to the vaccine or to healing or, alternatively, by removing the possibility of obtaining it through an antigenic pad, which for Ricciardi is the "Achilles heel" of the Green pass. The rapid test "in the best of cases does not certify the positivity of at least 30% of the subjects, it is an inadequate measure in this epidemic phase".
On the lockdown for the unvaccinated: "We don't need it, Austria made this dramatic choice because it was late with coverage and has incidence rates ten times higher than ours". The Italian government "has taken timely decisions", even if "they do not make us completely safe" because "there are still too many unvaccinated people, about 7 million Italians".
On the possibility of a vaccination obligation: "It is not necessary and could divide the country rather than unite it". The children? “For them, vaccination will only be recommended, I remember that now children are 30% of the infected because they are not vaccinated. Vaccination is useful for them and their grandparents ".
Finally, on the Christmas that awaits us: “It will be better than last year because we have one more weapon, the vaccine. It will be a peaceful Christmas in which we will be able to see our loved ones and our friends ”.
