"I reiterate that on the basis of the knowledge we have today I would not get the vaccine. If the data were to be made public and the scientific community validated its validity, I would do it, I have no doubt about this".
So on Buongiorno, on Sky TG24 Andrea Crisanti, director of the microbiology laboratory of the University of Padua.
"It's a question of transparency: if you want to generate trust - he added - you have to be transparent".
"The more scientists complain about the lack of information - said Crisanti - and the more they expect it, the more people trust. Is it possible that this mechanism is not understood? Transparency generates an invaluable asset: trust. This outcry that exists. it was absolutely unreasonable, because I did not say that I will not get the vaccine, but simply that it is necessary that everyone in the scientific community has access to the raw data. In this way we all vaccinate, without any fear and no retro-thought. " To the director of Aifa Magrini, who said that Crisanti spoke out of tiredness and should apologize, the virologist replied that "I reply that they should apologize because they approved Remdesivir in a hasty way. They should apologize for this, which is much more important ".
