Italy: Registrations for COVID-19 Vaccine Increased 200% in Single Day

Delta variant waters Italian summer party 2021 And no one had imagined that with the current vaccination campaign, the infection situation would be worse than in 2020.

In all cases, the effectiveness of vaccines can be reflected in the percentage of beds occupied in intensive care: A year ago at this time, the occupancy rate was 5% while it is now 1%. These percentages demonstrate the importance of vaccines in preventing serious infections.

With the cold calm that characterizes him and following in the footsteps of his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi launched a message that had the effect of a bomb that fell on the health situation in Italy.

“The call not to get vaccinated is the call to die,” he said without half measures, then added that without vaccines everything will have to be closed.

The words were followed by actions: From August 6, the green pass will be mandatory, a certificate which will allow those who have it to recover the customs that the Covid has eliminated or which has severely limited and, who does not have it, many activities will be prohibited. .

The certificate will be necessary from 12 years old, minimum age required to be vaccinated with Pfizer and, from today, also with Moderna, and will allow access to sporting events, museums, theme parks and amusement parks, congresses, exhibitions, thermal spas, bingo halls and casinos, cinemas, theaters, civil service contests and concerts. It will also be necessary to go to restaurants and bars in closed spaces. Discos, on the other hand, have not been taken into account, they will not open this summer.

The green pass will be accessible to those who have received at least one dose of the available vaccines but also to those who have a negative PCR or who have been cured of Covid. The duration of the certificate in the event of a cure is 6 months, if it is a swab the validity is 48 hours after the test has been carried out. With the second dose of the vaccine, a certificate valid for 9 months will be obtained.

The mandatory nature of the green pass has caused a boom in registrations for vaccinations among the youngest, who are among the most affected by the virus, and the hunt for vaccines is on.

Call centers and sites have collapsed. The Prime Minister’s remarks had the desired effect, the Italians rushed to book their shifts.

This week infections were around 5,000 per day and deaths hover between 20 and 5 today, low numbers compared to Argentina but worrying for Italy, which appeared to have reached a safe zone affected by the delta responsible for the exponential multiplication of the cases.

In Europe, 200 million people have completed the vaccination cycle, 55% of the population, as announced by the President of the European Commission Ursula Von de Leyen. In this context, Italy records nearly 48.3% of vaccinated, or nearly 30 million inhabitants.

By his words and with the announcement of the Green Pass, Draghi dealt a great blow to political opponents, thus consolidating his leadership, a leadership that has not been seen at Palazzo Chigi since the days of Berlusconi. It was the latter who saw in Draghi a great talent and that is why he sent him to the European Central Bank, where he served as president from 2011 to 2019.

With these restrictive measures, those who had doubts about whether to get vaccinated or not have more arguments to weigh in addition to their own personal beliefs about vaccines, despite this, the green anti-passes have demonstrated on the squares of more than 30 Italian cities. to protest against the decree.

Guided by the European World Wide Demonstration movement, the protesters expressed a strong rejection of “certified slavery”, the Covid scam and government measures accusing it of a new health dictatorship and a new apartheid against the unvaccinated.

These are the same people who had already protested against the masks and against the sanitary Nazism which affected the guinea pigs of the vaccines.

Italians should not touch vacations, adolescent vaccinations can wait, lest the trick plays right while one is on the beach and the increase in infections in the spa where you are on vacation is a problem. argument nobody wants to talk about.

“I’m not an anti-vaccine or a conspirator, I just want to wait and see how it goes,” we often hear people say from the deckchairs.

We prefer to postpone the decision on vaccination until the end of the summer, in a context where it is impossible to make predictions, but there is Super Mario (Draghi) who does not go on vacation and decides what to do. do now.
