Green pass and vaccines, what the new Minister of Health thinks

“No more green pass“, constantly repeated the new one Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, throughout the election campaign. The demagogy used to attract the votes of the no vaxes did his job, aggregating a good chunk of the 6 million unvaccinated people in Italy to the Brothers of Italy. But now the government no longer needs to continue to support this rhetoric and, as soon as the official list of new ministers was announced, it was discovered that Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, it is not at all contrary to the green pass and even Meloni has had alternating opposition.

What will happen to the fines for those who have not been vaccinated?

There are a million ready to leave to hit the over 50 who have evaded the vaccine obligation against Covid-19, but the majority of right-wingers could condone them

The positions of Meloni

Before describing the green pass as “aartificial intelligence used by the left to prevent Italians from going to work“, in August 2022, a year earlier Giorgia Meloni had used very different tones. As you can hear in a video of the Sole 24 Orein April 2021 Meloni argued how, at that moment, it was needed “Reschedule the reopening, because we cannot imagine that the lockdown and closures are our normality, I am thinking, for example, of the digital green certificate. We were the first to support it, we hope that it will be adopted as soon as possible in a horizon of total reciprocity with all the other European states, fundamental to restore freedom of movement and especially to restart tourism “.

How the new variants of Covid-19 are evolving

All the new variants of Sars-CoV-2 seem to contain more or less the same mutations, those associated with a greater “evasiveness” of the virus with respect to the immune defenses

What does the Minister of Health think

But the leader of the Brothers of Italy is not the only one to have declared herself pro green pass, indeed the “first to support him “, among the members of the new government. For example, the new Minister of Health is also very much in favor of the green certificate, Orazio Schillaci. Rector of the University of Tor Vergata in Romea doctor specializing in nuclear medicine, of which he was also a professor, made it clear how “the green pass remains an indispensable tool for guaranteeing safety in university classrooms“in an interview with One morning on October 14, 2021.

No doubt therefore of the support of the rector and new minister to the green pass, as well as to the vaccineson which he stated how “We have not had any problems in our university. It is extraordinary that the 90% of the students got vaccinated. They proved great civic sense“. Now, unless a second pandemic hits us within the next five years, Meloni is likely to easily comply with his promise from “No more green pass”, but these acts show how coherence has been totally overshadowed with respect to electoral convenience.
