You get vaccinated live in the United States, the video of the Catania doctor goes viral: “The only weapon we have to fight Covid-19” (video)

“This is the only weapon we have to fight Covid-19.” Fabio Grassia, 34, is a neurosurgeon originally from Bronte, in the province of Catania. The Sicilian doctor, transplanted to work a Denver in the United States, in recent days he was one of the first Italians to receive the vaccine Pfizer that inhibits Sars-Cov-2. A historic moment that he decided to immortalize in a video, then posted on Facebook and Instagram: the goal is to sensitize friends and followers to undergo the next vaccination campaigns. “I only did it because someone asked me for information – he tells the doctor fattoquotidiano.it -. I’m fine, I train every day and do my job, including surgery ”.

To receive the vaccine, the doctor made a reservation through the application, filling out a specific questionnaire, and was later summoned to the auditorium of the Denver hospital. “They gave me a number and I sat at a station until they called me – he explains – The puncture lasted a few seconds and I didn’t feel anything. The only side effect was a small pain in the muscle, but then it disappeared in 24 hours. On the subject of vaccines, references to the world of conspiracy theorists are unavoidable. “There is nothing subcutaneous in the puncture – he says – I have no idea how they can claim to inject a microchip. We are living a tragedy in which it is not possible not to believe ”.

The Sicilian doctor during the first confinement in Italy had decided to temporarily leave the United States. Just a goodbye to answer an appeal from Lombardy region who in those months was desperate for doctors and nurses. Thus, the 34-year-old was hired for a few months at the hospital in Garbagnate Milanesa. After the mission in Italy, he returned abroad.
