"The defenses are amazed to note that
Crisanti, a consultant to the prosecutor, who defines himself as an expert, appears daily on TV
reiterating his accusatory theories and supporting the dutifulness of the judicial initiative": underlines Jacopo Pensa who together with Federico Papa defends the president of the Lombardy Attilio Fontana.
"The apparent contradiction with Professor Bassetti was asymmetrical because the latter in external connection, this gives a less 'heavy' meaning to the person", he specifies.
"The Bergamo prosecutor's office - he concludes - has a duty to distrust its consultant from such insistent appearances".
"The theme is that everyone thinks the test is good for something."
On February 22, 2020, the day after Patient 1, the president of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità
Silvio Brusaferro
is skeptical about the use of swabs.
This is demonstrated by a chat with Francesco Curcio, director of the Udine Laboratory Medicine Department.
in the acts of the Bergamo investigation into Covid in Val Seriana.
At that time, the assessment was not to proceed with the "massive use of tampons", even though it had been communicated from London that "over 2/3 of healthy carriers from China remained 'undetected' and had time to disseminate the virus".
On March 15, 2020, in full lockdown,
Ranieri Guerra,
then number two of the WHO commented via Whatsapp with Silvio Berusaferro, president of the ISS to whom he had asked if the decision "to swab everyone on the carpet" was true.
In the chat, in the proceedings of the investigation by the Bergamo prosecutor's office into the management of Covid in Val Seriana, Brusaferro replied to Guerra: "No, it's not that everyone goes on his behalf".
And the deputy director of the WHO reassured: "I spoke to Galli, then, and I told him to desist from proposing nonsense as tampons for everyone ... he agreed, I hope ...".
"Everything is happening: opinions of the committee differing from Conte and the Minister, second thoughts requested, people called to come here, the world war".
It is one of the WhatsApp messages
between Giuseppe Ruocco, former secretary general of the Ministry of Health, and a ministerial official
, now in the records of the Bergamo investigation.
Ruocco, on 2/29/2020 wrote: "the masks are missing, Conte makes us change the measures for next week (closures/openings) as they hear the regions; they ask us to hypothesize field hospitals and related equipment; they ask for guidelines for the sub-intensive management of patients etc etc".
"I too would have been drastic about restaurants, bars, sports centers, etc. And instead the various lobbies have left them open. Wrong. If you have to intervene, intervene rigidly, otherwise it is useless": so on the evening of 3 March 2020 in a Whatsapp message
the mayor of Nembro, Claudio Cancelli
,
commented on the telephone with an entrepreneur of the area the news, which was circulating, of the establishment of the red zone in Val Seriana.
The chat is in the records of the investigation by the Bergamo prosecutor's office into the management of the first wave of Covid.
"Saying we are all acquitted, everything is fine in my opinion means paving the way for a situation of unpreparedness next time": so said
Andrea Crisanti
, author of the expert report made for the Bergamo prosecutor who opened the investigation into the management of Covid , "Closing your eyes to a disaster - he underlined at Half an hour more - means opening the way to another disaster".
In the Covid emergency "there are countries that have done very well. This does not mean that those who have done wrong are guilty because an error is not a fault and I have not made any indictment in the expert report".
