13 doctors ended up under investigation by the Order of Doctors for their no vax position and more generally towards the coronavirus, considered like a flu. The doctors expressed their opinions about the uselessness of the vaccine on social media and on TV, thus triggering the disciplinary measure: as announced by the president of the Order, Antonio Magi, for ten of them it has already been concluded while for the three others are still in progress.
“These are 10 colleagues who expressed no vax positions and 3 instead deniers on Covid – he specifies – The disciplinary procedure started after we received complaints from citizens and colleagues, accompanied by documentation”. The process requires that the doctors under procedure justify and present explanations with scientific reasons in support of what has been stated; the material is then evaluated by a special commission of the Order, which decides whether to go ahead and arrive at a possible sanction, or archive.
“For the first 10, the no vax, the procedure ended – continues Magi -, in some cases with the archiving, because some have ‘repented’, in others with a sanction, which went from censorship to warning until suspension for 1-2 months “. For the 3 Covid deniers, however, the procedure is still open. “One presented an explanation – he continues – but with Covid the disciplinary times are getting longer. For this type of proceedings it is in fact necessary to call in presence. However, the first part of the process has been completed, and I believe that by January the new council, which will have to take office, will be able to complete the procedure ”.
Rings (Fnomceo): “Colleagues no vax? They are 100 out of 460 thousand, very few “
There are “around a hundred no-vax doctors in Italy, out of 460 thousand white coats”. This was stated to Adnkronos Salute by Filippo Anelli, president of the National Federation of the Orders of Surgeons and Dentists (Fnomceo). “We are talking about very few colleagues. The estimate we make, because there is no exact data, is that there is a case for each Provincial Order, therefore a hundred. But it’s really a ridiculous figure compared to the total ”, he specifies.
Yesterday V-Day started in Europe and in Italy there was a controversy over whether health workers can refuse the now voluntary vaccination. “We must be clear – underlines Anelli – The deontological sphere of the doctor includes the duty to protect health and psycho-physical integrity as a fundamental good of man. This was exercised yesterday using individual protection tools and today in the Covid-19 emergency, a more powerful weapon is added, the vaccine. Using it is a duty and it is foreseen, in fact, by the deontological code that every doctor knows ”.
Doctor in the sights of the Order: “I’m not against vaccines, but against this yes”
“I’m not against vaccines and I’m not a denier, also because I’ve been doing them for 40 years. But the disgust I saw on the anti-Covid vaccine … What I contest is the modality and I try to explain why I am against this vaccination ”. Speaking to Adnkronos Salute is Mariano Amici, a doctor from Ardea (Rome), who was reported to the Order of Doctors of the Capital for his claims against the coronavirus vaccine.
“I was called by Omceo Roma because there were some reports and I replied to what they complained about, that’s all. I’m not a no-vax ”, he clarifies. “I do not speak on behalf of the no vax movement – he continues – but I say that vaccinations should not be done indiscriminately, what is done to him must be explained to the patient”. In a live broadcast on Facebook (‘Dirette con dott. Amici’) the doctor comments on the arrival of Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines at Spallanzani escorted by the police: “They are afraid that these vaccines will be stolen from them”, says Amici smiling with the conductor of the direct. “I think they took us for insane, such a thing is folklore, what’s the point of all this? To prove what? – continues Amici – A serious government should have been guaranteed some facts with respect to the vaccine with adequate testing, the time available was not sufficient to test its effectiveness and to test its immunity “
