Zaia against Crisanti, the Region: “The facts of Vo ‘, decisions taken by the governor, have been confused.” The virologist: “I will have to sue someone”

Andrea Crisanti does not fit. You don’t want to go through a braggart, a researcher who has been embellished with the effectiveness of the sanitary machine Veneto and then posted on “Nature” a scientific article in which he boasted of the goodness of his intuitions. And he illustrated the discoveries made on the cover of the coronavirus thanks to research carried out in population of Vo ‘, in the province of Padua, where the first great outbreak Veneto. Bruno Vespa launched with great resonance a chapter of his forthcoming new book, anticipated by The Gazzettino, in which he writes about a letter sent by the head of the Prevention sector of the Veneto Region, Francesca Russo, to the address of “Nature” to deny some points of the article. Basically a very hard attack on Crisanti’s credibility. Which nevertheless responds to ilfattoquotidiano.it: “It is unworthy! I will have to sue someone. “And he exhibits the try out, some messages WhatsApp that he exchanged at the beginning of March with the president Luca zaia and that would be the demonstration of how the Veneto Region has been activated from the indications provided by Crisanti. Starting with the project to be carried out 10,000 tampons a day.

FIREPLACE – The town of Vo ‘is closed on February 24 after the first death occurred in the hospital of Schiavonia. About a week later, Crisanti asks Zaia to finance “a epidemiological investigation to retest all swabs at the end of quarantine. “The Region assigns 150 thousand euros after a meeting that took place on March 2 a Venice. Vespa writes: “Crisanti proceeds with the swabs, but the Venetian health authorities complain that they have not received results of the new research. On the other hand, they read them in the prestigious English journal Nature and point out that the professor attributes to himself the paternity also from the first round of tampons, carried out instead by the Padua health company, to Zaia’s decision, between February 23 and 29 “. In fact, Crisanti“ writes that this initiative is fundamental to Veneto’s strategy in the fight against the virus. He himself attributes the authorship to Zaia, but in his article in Nature he does not mentions “.

THE SINKING OF THE REGION – Vespa writes: “In autumn, the Veneto region sends Nature one very hard letter replica signed by Francesca Russo, Prevention Director. “Below are some passages from the letter:” The publication has altered the facts, distorting reality and mystifying what happened to Vo ‘. All relevant decisions on how to treat the outbreak originated in the Schiavonia Hospital and were made by the President of the Veneto Region in agreement with the Department of Prevention and Public Health of the Region and with the health authorities of the Ulss Company 6 Euganea. All this happened even before Vo ‘studio was conceived“And again:” The performance of tampons began after the hospital had already been evacuated and after isolation and emergency shutdown of the Municipality of Vo ‘. It is not true that two surveys on the population of Vo ‘were conducted less than two weeks apart (…) It is not true that (…) this study guided the strategy adopted by the Veneto Region and that this strategy of test and trace had a significant impact on the course of the epidemic in Veneto compared to other Italian regions. Vo’s case had a minimal strategic impact on the approach of the Veneto region to cope with the epidemic. “In conclusion, according to Russo:” The pandemic was addressed long before a study designed and carried out a posteriori that did not have the slightest impact on strategic public health options”.

“THEY SAY INCREDIBLE THINGS” – Professor Crisanti, responds severely London. “It is unworthy. I have the proof, with me messages that I exchanged with President Zaia about how the health plan started with me and then joined one deliberates of the regional council of Veneto. On the contrary, I left London by car and arrived in Padua with the permission of the prefect to do this work ”. Denial of nature? “There magazine never received the letter from Dr. Russo. ” Zaia’s merits? “He had the first swabs made in the village of Vo ‘. But without what was decided later, he would not have understood us nothingZaia’s comment: “Crisanti is one painful affair“.

Supports ilfattoquotidiano.it: I never eat right now
we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work conscientiously, we carry out a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more.
