Rasi (formerly Ema), AstraZeneca management? “Lots of emotional fans. His vaccine does not deserve a company like that “
Are there political or geopolitical market options behind the AstraZeneca vaccine attacks? “I had also assumed it but seeing how things were going, I do not think so much about the commercial war, rather I think that we are facing a lot of emotional fans who do not realize that we are in a pandemic, also because from the production point of view, there is glory for everyone: 7 billion people have to be vaccinated and we are far away, so there is no competition problem. ”Thus Guido Rasi, former executive director of the EMA and professor of Microbiology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Rome, guest of Agorà su Raitre, convinced that “more than a commercial war we are fighting with amateurism.” The AstraZeneca anti-Covid vaccine, he continues, “deserved a better pharmaceutical company than AstraZeneca because it is a good poorly managed vaccine, poorly managed by the company, poorly managed by the authorities, poorly managed in every way. And this is a shame, because the vaccine is much better than its communication and its producers who have demonstrated tried to be really unprofessional.

Coldiretti: with a pandemic in Italy, ice cream consumption falls by 40%
The Covid emergency melts cones and cups with a 40% drop in artisan ice cream consumption in Italy due to forced closures, travel limits and the paralysis of national and especially foreign tourism. This is how Coldiretti considers it on the occasion of ice cream day, the only day that the European Parliament has dedicated to a food created to promote the art of ice cream in the old continent.
An appointment that in many countries – Coldiretti stresses – cannot be physically celebrated in the ice cream parlor due to the closures that, however, favored the return of the production of ice cream at home but also a boom in home delivery that in 2020 registered 113% growth compared to 2019 according to the latest report from the ‘Gelato-Delivery’ Observatory. This year’s European Artisan Ice Cream Day is strongly marked by the pandemic that, Coldiretti stresses, has conditioned consumption habits around the world, strongly penalizing the 39 thousand national ice cream parlors that employ 75 thousand people. -
Bertolaso, ‘limited chaos in Lombardy, 33,000 vaccinated a day’
In Lombardy “chaos is extremely limited and is contained in some areas of the Region. In Lombardy between 32,000 and 33,000 people are vaccinated a day, especially those over 80, the most fragile and educational, according to the guidelines that the government has indicated to all the Regions. We respect them in an absolutely correct way, so with the numbers we are doing we have vaccinated more than 50% of those over 80 and on April 12 I hope to have vaccinated all those over 80 at least with the first dose ” . Guido Bertolaso, Lombardy region consultant for the vaccination campaign, said this, speaking on Sky Tg24. “It is an important program – Bertolaso observed – we have already created all the maximum vaccination centers, today I am going to open one in Codogno. We are in line with the government’s forecasts. If we had to receive more vaccines, we could vaccinate many more. For Pfizer, stocks are practically exhausted “but” thanks to the arrival yesterday of this additional quota of vaccines we will be able to advance in the next few days. ” However, Bertolaso added, “we know that before Easter we will probably finish them again.” And he concluded: “This regular and well-planned supply of vaccines allows us to trace the path that we are following.”
