September 24, 2021 People who are not convinced of the effectiveness of vaccines are now a minority, some of them are often for ideological reasons but there are people who have an irrational fear, and with them the dialogue must be kept open ". This is the wish of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, interviewed by Anna Ammirati at Once upon a time, the new Rai Radio Live program, broadcast on Saturday 25 September at 11 am. Theme of the episode, “fears”. Those of the doubters about the advisability of getting the vaccine, first of all. Speranza lends them a hand: “We must provide all possible elements to reassure the citizens who have this fear. The data we collect says that vaccines are effective and safe ”.



"Vaccines - continues the Minister - are the most extraordinary thing we could have fielded against the virus, they lower the contagion curve and are the key to opening a different phase, vaccines are a symbol of freedom, they allow us to reopen spaces of participation, stadiums, theaters, cinemas ”, says the Minister. Pressed by the questions of the presenter, Speranza continues: "We must insist with grace and intelligence and never be aggressive with the undecided, I am sure that this is the way to increase vaccination coverage in our country". And then he concludes on this theme: “it is human to be afraid, I myself feared that the vaccines did not arrive in time and then from December 27th 2020 a virtuous path began”. 



 "An unacceptable inequality is being consumed around the vaccine that must be bridged - insists Speranza - the public machine in our country works, but it is not so all over the world: there are countries that do not have the resources to buy vaccines, there is need for a global commitment;

at the recent G20 that I chaired, we decided, with all the health ministers, to make a common effort to break down these differences ”.



Before the end of the Minister's speech, space for a question on personal fears, the theme of Ammirati's broadcast, and the question "Roberto's fears?"

the minister replied: “When I was a boy I had no fear, except that of losing my parents.

Today, if I think of a fear, it is linked to the passing of time, because loved ones are lost along the way.

My fear is the passing of time ”.
