Ma già adesso quelli di Moderna non ci sono più, così come quelli Novavax. Spero che ci sia un accordo più duraturo con Pfizer

Stigma for any doubt about totally new vaccines, politicization of any preventative measure, polarization of the society about the last pandemic is the best way to encourage next. I wouldn't. 8)

They weren't. They risked their own more than others' lives. Many died, others suffer long covid. They weren't either smarter nor luckier to miss shots. They're lucky if alive. Cancelling their fines is less expensive than claiming 100 euros each. It's not "unfair", it's sensible at this time 7)

But shifting from "vaccination as a right" to "vaccination as a duty" is not a smart choice in risk communication. Even worse is what is heard today, as cancelling fines was a sort of reward for those who refused vaccination and didn't pay at the time, because they were smarter 6)

I'm reknown in Italy as a passionate advocate for vaccinations and as an author of divulgative books on them. I strongly believe covid vaccines were an extraordinary achievement and the only way to overcome the emergency phase of the pandemic in a safe and effective way 5)

Any debate about any vaccines (not only covid) in Italy now sees the objections of people forced to get a shot, who correlate any illness to it, and has developed a strong resentment against authorities and those ruling at that time 4)

That's why I don't think that was a great idea, especially for the harsh, stigmatizing and blaming communication accompanying the law. It risked to cause more harm than good, and I'm afraid it was so 3)

I guess only Austria, among free Western countries, introduced such a strict rule, but waived it after few weeks, when evidence confirmed that vaccines didn't stop omicron transmission. Moreover, in Italy, at that time, we already had one of the highest vaccination rate in the world. 2)
