Vaccines, Codacons threatens "burst" complaints
“Scaring doctors is a form of violence”
Editorial staff – Sì24.it – 18 October 2015
The controversy mounts after the rumors coming from the Ministry of Health about the possible prediction of one radiation for doctors who advise against vaccines. The Codacons is ready for” a flurry of complaints against mass vaccinations”, says the president Charles Rienzi.
"The great maneuvers of the pharmaceutical companies to get rich thanks to the vaccine alarm that recently broke out in Italy seem to have started - he continues -Scare the doctors who do not consider suggesting vaccination at all costs it is a form of violence, he adds, for which one may be called to answer before justice".
Vaccine yes, but only under the right conditions: ”We continue to believe that vaccines are essential, but only for the categories at risk. Otherwise you feed a millionaire business with negative economic repercussions also for the state coffers”, continues the president of Codacons Rienzi.
In this regard, Codacons recalls the case of the 2004 flu vaccine which "turned out to be ineffective due to the wrong strain, leading to a immense waste of millions of euros to the detriment of many citizens who ended up falling ill anyway, and the NHS".
”Not to mention – concludes Carlo Rienzi's note – the controversial case of the pediatric vaccine: despite the law providing for only 4 mandatory vaccines, in Italy the hexavalent is used, with a gift equal to 114 million euros per year in favor of the pharmaceutical industry“.
Paola Taverna, vaccines and preventive medicine
“No to the introduction of compulsory vaccination linked to the right to study. Parents must be free to decide and not blackmailed with education”. Senator M5S Paola Taverna says this when speaking with activists and reporters at the Imola grillino rally. "The right to study and to health are guaranteed by the Constitution - he adds - they cannot be linked to each other". Corriere della Sera publishes a video with Paola Taverna's full statements. In the statement, Taverna says she wants "preventive medicine and not vaccines". Curious position, given that vaccines are in fact preventive medicine.
"Being in the health commission and having seen the process of destruction of public health, one of the first issues will be to return health to the public, to the citizen, therefore no more cuts but attention, if necessary, preventive medicine and not vaccines galore", says the Taverna at the beginning. And on vaccines, asks the journalist, after the case in Emilia, your position? «We are also working on it because we are talking about unconstitutional situations, the obligation of the vaccine cannot be viable at the moment as they see it. It cannot be thought that people have to be vaccinated in order to go to school. Alarmism is created to give false solutions. We want to give solutions to real problems. Vaccines are in some cases useful, in other cases to the benefit of pharmaceutical companies and little of the citizens. The journalist asks who has to decide what is right to get vaccinated and what is not. «The wonder is that there are working tables, professors and doctors who are never listened to. Let's not forget that the latest actions by the ministry were to withdraw the clinical analyzes or to let the ministry decide them instead of the doctor. Let's put skills and doctors back at the center and move forward by sharing with the citizens. We are the mouthpieces of what civil society thinks. Ready to listen to the doctors. No one takes credits they don't have. I listen», concludes Taverna, who is a member of the Senate health commission.

The video of the interview with Paola Taverna
Ed.: in the event of an electoral victory of the M5S for Paola Taverna, a role for the Ministry of Health could be hypothesized. The senator has a diploma in business expert and correspondent in foreign languages, and worked for 13 years as a secretary in a clinical analysis polyclinic and after being elected to the Senate with the M5s she became a member of the Health Commission (since the Unit of 19 October 2015).
In addition to protecting immunized people, vaccination also decreases the number of people susceptible to the disease and slows down its circulation. Therefore, alongside the defense of the individual, vaccination programs determine a protection of the population defined as herd immunity or herd immunity. Vaccination campaigns, precisely due to the effect of herd immunity, have an overall efficacy that is clearly superior to the protective efficacy of vaccination in the individual (vaccinations.it).
Those who say that getting vaccinated or not is part of individual democratic freedoms and take as an example themselves who, never vaccinated, have never been infected, do not take into account two simple principles: 1) individual freedom ends where the freedom of others begins and therefore, due to the lack of the herd effect, it exposes those who for some reason cannot get vaccinated (like the girl from Bologna) and would not like to get sick to contagion and 2) does not consider that probably they have never been infected precisely because of the high number of vaccinated people in the population so far which prevented the circulation of viruses and therefore epidemics. And what freedom is it to prevent one's children from being vaccinated, thus exposing them to dangerous infections? Is it an individual freedom that of the kamikaze who, stuffed with bombs, blows himself up in a market?
Finally, a "small" observation: pharmaceutical companies would earn much more from epidemics due to non-vaccination. Meditate…

Vaccines, here is the ministry's plan
Draft 2016-20118 which will be examined by the State-Regions Conference
It is still a draft that will be evaluated in the coming days by the State-Regions Conference, but the text of the 2016-2018 National Vaccine Prevention Plan resolves the 'mystery' on possible sanctions or even radiation for doctors reluctant to vaccinate patients who have infuriated white coats. The media chaos required clarification from the Minister of Health who stressed that any "action in this sense will be agreed with the Orders". But what does the National Vaccine Plan provide? The draft highlights how for the path "due to regulatory constraints and the mandatory nature of vaccinations it will be studied in depth and an updated standardization can be generated from the new plan with related measures, such as, for example, the obligation to certify the vaccinations provided for in the school entrance calendar". As regards the possibility of sanctions for doctors who are not inclined to immunize patients "an integral part of these regulatory constraints will also be the continuous recognition of possible violations of support for vaccination practice and the active offer of vaccinations by doctors and health personnel employed and affiliated with the National Health Service". So any type of 'fine' hypothesis for the white coat will therefore be agreed with the categories after a comparison with the ministry.
The total cost of the vaccines included in the vaccination calendar, according to the current price, when fully operational and with the achievement of the coverage rates presented below, is estimated at around 620 million euros. The "activation of a national fund for vaccines which can co-finance the regions in objective difficulty to guarantee, once again, the uniformity, equity and universality of the offer on a national scale" is envisaged. Furthermore, the vaccines against meningococcus B, the antipneumococcus over 65 years, the antipapillomavirus for eleven year old boys and girls are added to the current calendar. Here are the objectives of the 2016-2018 National Plan for Vaccination Prevention: 1) Maintain polio-free status 2) Achieve measles-free and rubella-free status 3) Guarantee the active and free offer of vaccinations in the age groups and populations at risk indicated, also through forms of revision and improvement of the efficiency of supply and logistics of the vaccination system with the aim of achieving and maintaining the coverage described below 4) Increase awareness of vaccination adherence in the general population also through the conduct of vaccination campaigns to consolidate vaccination coverage 5) Contrast inequalities, promoting vaccination interventions in marginalized or particularly vulnerable groups of populations 6) Complete the computerization of interoperable vaccination registers at regional and national level with each other and with other databases (infectious diseases, adverse events, resident and assisted); 7) Improve the surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases; 8) Promote, in the general population and in health professionals, a culture of vaccinations consistent with the guiding principles of this plan, described as '10 points for the future of vaccinations in Italy '9) support, at all levels, the sense of responsibility of healthcare professionals, employees and affiliated with the naive health service, and full adhesion to the purposes of protecting collective health that are carried out through the vaccine programs, providing for the vaccine programs. now an default behavior is identified; 10) Activate a review and standardization process of the criteria for identifying the causal link for the purpose of recognizing compensation, pursuant to Law 210 of 1992, for those injured by vaccination, involving the other competent institutions (Ministry of Defence); 11) Foster, through collaboration between national institutions and scientific societies, research and independent scientific information on vaccines.
