PADUA – On the phenomenon of denial for Covid-19, “the problem is to rebuild trust between citizens and institutions and also between citizens and scientific research. There are bugs everywhere here. And we, as scientists, must make a ‘mea culpa’ because we have also given mixed messages“. He explained it in Rai 3 Antonella Viola, Immunologist at the University of Padua, speaking of the demonstration of denial scheduled for Saturday, September 5 in Rome.

“There have been contradictory and misleading messages since the beginning of the pandemic – said Viola – What scientists must do on the one hand is self-criticism and, on the other, we must limit our confrontations, as we have always done, to ours . world: in congresses, through publications. But when we deal with the public we must try to carry a single message, which is that of the scientific community. Let us remember that when we speak we do not speak as individuals, but as representatives of an entire community. Viola tells the deniers that “the virus exists, alas. It would be nice if it weren’t. Surely the situation in our country is calm and controlled, but in other countries it is not like that. Last update: 11:11
