The uncertain evil and the certain evil: this is why CTS, Ricciardi, and Crisanti have to go home, or to do their job

Val Vigezzo

That's enough. Speranza's unilateral decision, taken on Friday evening, to close the Ligurian restaurants from Sunday (as if one more day would change something from an epidemiological point of view) and not to open the ski fields, even with strict safety regulations, has blow the cap of patience.

The League has risen, the governors of the north, even Zaia, are furious, even the PD, and I mean the PD, has given up the CTS and the pseudo experts like Ricciardi and Crisanti. I say Pseudo experts because at the beginning of the pandemic Ricciardi said he was against masks and tests to change his mind in the evening, in the face of "Science" and giving a decisive blow to the credibility of medicine.

The fact is that the Nation is now facing a certain and tangible evil and an uncertain and changing evil:

  • the certain evil is that of the economic crisis, bankruptcies, misery, suicides;
  • the certain evil of increasing mortality due to the overshadowing of the epidemic, for which deaths from chronic cardiovascular diseases or tumors have increased;
  • the uncertain evil of a gradual and controlled reopening which, perhaps, could lead to an increase in infections, but perhaps, not certainly.

Science should give advice to help find a balance between these needs, not to bend certain goods to an uncertain evil. Because I too can boast of having temporarily solved the problem of the epidemic by locking everyone in the house, as in prison, for months and with no prospects of reopening. Maybe I will solve the epidemic problem, but it will have triggered social revolt and civil disobedience. A ski resort in Val D'Ossola, Vigezzo, has decided to restart, in spite of the prohibitions, considering the chairlift a "local transport", therefore exempt from closure. Do we want to see widespread rebellion?

The failure of official medicine, of AIFA, of the Civil Protection, of the Commission, of vaccination planning, should not lead to the failure of society. Draghi was wrong to let the bad Hope do it. It can still stop the pseudo-scientists madness.
