“Normally it takes 5 to 8 years to produce a vaccine. So, without available data, you would not have the first vaccine that should arrive in January. Because I would like to be sure that this vaccine has been properly tested and meets all criteria for safety and efficacy. I have the right to it as a citizen and I am not willing to accept shortcuts ”. These are the words of the virologist Andrea Crisanti invited in Focus Live, the festival of scientific dissemination of Focus, at the Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology in Milan from November 19 to 22.
First it comes, but then there is a revision that is not easy to do
“I am very much in favor of vaccines – continued Crisanti – but the ones we are talking about were developed by skipping the normal sequence of Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3. This happened because they had state funds and therefore they could afford to Doing the three phases together because the risks were assumed by those who gave the money. But doing the three phases in parallel, one carries with him all the problems of the different phases. So it is true that it is the first, but then there is a whole process of review that is not easy to do. We do not have a real weapon at our disposal at the moment. We need to create a national surveillance system that overcomes regional differences, to equalize the differences between the various regions: let’s take Calabria, a region abandoned to itself She clearly cannot get out of this emergency on her own.

What if he was prime minister? It would create a network of laboratories in Italy capable of performing hundreds of thousands of tests. I would create a big data IT framework integrated with the Immuni application. I would change the government of Immuni and try to make it more transparent so that people get more involved.
Regions must control, not govern
It would create a capillary network to bring tampons where they are really needed and it would change the relationship between the Regions and the Government in terms of public health governance: instead of the hospitals governed by the Regions (which both control and govern) , I would break this relationship. The Regions they controlled and the completely independent health units they spent. This chain of dependency is one of the distortions of the national health system.
And finally I would say to the individual: do you want to open a hospital? Open it up, but put it in the emergency room and the intensive care unit. Otherwise, the individual, for example, enjoys the income from a cardiac surgery operation and when problems arise the patient goes to resuscitation for the public ”.
