He discusses the agenda accepted by the government according to which health professionals "can provide information relating to the provisions on the management of the health emergency in progress, through any means of communication, subject to the explicit authorization of their health facility."

A filter substantially to curb the continuous influx of doctors and virologists in television talks and to "avoid spreading news or information harmful to the National Health System and consequently to the health of citizens." Medicine, elected in 2018 with the 5-star Movement and passed to the mixed group in March of this year.

THE PROTEST - And virologists obviously rise up. For Matteo Bassetti , director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino Polyclinic in Genoa: "You cannot put a gag on doctors and university professors who talk about how an infectious disease like Covid evolves because until proven otherwise we are in a democratic state. Limiting the freedom to speak would be very serious, scandalous, this is fascism. It would be a norm that borders on stupidity, ridicule ".

And he adds, "I think they are afraid of our thoughts, they want to shut our mouths because we are more convincing than the no vax shit". “I remember - he continues - that I am a university professor and to go on TV I don't have to ask anyone for permission. Trizzino's is a liberticidal idea. Maybe instead a bill is made for politicians who go to talk about Covid and Medicine on television without knowing anything, it is established that they should study before speaking. But they will not limit us, we will continue to explain this disease ".

Massimo Galli , head of the Sacco hospital in Milan also protests: it is true, he admits, that “there are people who say absolute nonsense, others who say and then unsubscribe, and there are also professionals who explain things as they are. But in this case we are grotesque: preventing doctors from expressing themselves is like saying that a lawyer cannot discuss legal arguments on TV and in newspapers or an engineer of technical matters ".
