ormai si sprecano gli articoli internazionali contro la follia del governo italiano
Una parte dell'articolo su The Spectator, settimanale di cronaca e politica inglese:
"The pointless tyranny of Italy’s Covid pass
While most European countries, especially Britain, are relaxing their Covid restrictions, Italy which has the toughest of the lot, this week made them tougher still – even though the data shows they are futile.
Ironically, the only major party to oppose the regime is the post-fascist Fratelli d'Italia.
Almost unbelievably, last week a journalist actually
quizzed Professor Walter Ricciardi, the Health Minister's Covid scientific adviser, about this comparison between Italy and Britain on a major TV political chat show.
The professor – an Italian equivalent of our own beloved professor Neil Ferguson – was droning on about how the vaccine passport guarantees liberty when a journalist present asked him why it was necessary when countries like Britain and Spain have no such thing and yet had a lower death rate.
Indeed, according to
John Hopkins University figures Italy has had 252.55 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants and Britain 240.57.
Prof Ricciardi – who accused the journalist of making statements ‘destitute of any scientifc foundation’ – retorted: ‘England calculates deaths in a completely different way from us – if it calculated in the same way, it would have double. It claims about 150,000 but it's 300,000.’
Nonsense! In reality, Britain requires only that the deceased has tested positive in the last 28 days of their life which if anything over-estimates the death-toll. But in Italy,
health service guidelines state: ‘Testing positive to Sars-Cov-2 is not enough to consider the death to be due to Covid-19.’
The professor went on to claim that the
inglesi (Italians always insist Britain is England) have refused to learn from Italy and as a result
Inghilterra's ‘numbers of deaths and cases’ are ‘enormously greater than ours’. Nonsense, again. "
