August 31, 2021 "We have almost 4 million people over the age of 50 not vaccinated. Another wave will come. A resurgence is likely in the autumn, mainly among the unvaccinated, and if these numbers remain, it is possible that we will have to see in the next few months the death of thousands of other people, perhaps even 30,000, considering the unvaccinated over 50 years of age ". Thus the Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri (M5s), who spoke during the Agorà Estate broadcast on Rai Tre.
"For vaccination there has been a slowdown that is also understandable during the holidays, but now it is the last call. We need to vaccinate to protect the population", Sileri stressed, because "in addition to Covid" there is also no Covid. We are accumulating health services to do for other pathologies, even benign ones, but which if not treated over time lead to serious damage. "
Green pass in public offices? I would go even further
Yes to the obligation of Green Pass for employees of public offices and "I would go even further", said the undersecretary for health. "At least over 40 years to increase vaccinations in my opinion will have to be done. But I would not wait for October, because it would be late". Sileri (M5s), during the program Agorà Estate, on Rai Tre, comments on the possibility, on which the Government is working, of an extension of the Green Pass to the state, probably from October. "I would now evaluate what happens in Northern Europe, because all the waves started from there, where temperatures drop before we do and where schools and businesses have reopened earlier for a few weeks. Starting from that experience, we borrow what we we must do here ". The choice of compulsory vaccination, for Sileri, "it can be done by age group but it will have to be taken at continental level.Because in Italy we can also put the obligation and reach 80% of vaccinated, however - he concludes - if in the neighboring country the virus continues to circulate, the variant develops and it also comes to us ".
