Bassetti faces death threats: "It happens when you invade the field."

Infectious disease specialist Matteo Bassetti reported "to the Digos and to the competent authorities" of having received a letter via email threatening, with death threats. "We are right-wing Nazi-fascists true. We will kill you soon because you are an infamous vaccinator", yes reads in the letter, peppered with various insults, that the doctor Ligurian posted on social media. "It feels like we've gone back 4 years old. Why? When politics and newspapers inflame the scientific debate invading other people's field, these are the results - comments Bassetti on X -. We are the ones who pay the price - doctors and scientists - who defend vaccines from attacks arrogant and incompetent politicians and various gurus and shamans on duty". Keep getting death threats because a doctor talks about vaccines and their benefits is unacceptable and demonstrates that Italy is a country that has evident - and serious - problems political, cultural and social". Bassetti reported everything to the Digos who now will first investigate whether the address from which the messages came threats can be traced back to someone. "If any were to arrive others - underlines the lawyer Rachele De Stefanis - then we will evaluate filing a complaint with the prosecutor's office."
