After Beatriz Sarlo's statement in Comodoro Py about the offer she received to apply the coronavirus vaccine in January and the subsequent response from Soledad Quereilhac, wife of Buenos Aires governor Axel Kicillof, the province's chief of staff, Carlos Bianco, left to talk about the issue and assured that
the fact "obviously leaves a damage on the credibility of the vaccination plan."
In addition, he considered that
"
the Sarlo issue is absolutely settled once she came out to make a strong self-criticism."
On the other hand, Bianco said that "it was clear that it was not an offer from under the table" and that
"neither Kiciloff nor Soledad know Sarlo, they don't even have her phone number
.
"
Regarding the plan devised by the government of the province and by which they contacted Sarlo to offer him the vaccine, Bianco explained that it was because
"artists, members of the culture and scientists had been thought to carry out an awareness campaign
.
"
And it was justified: “Many people are sure that the heads of the Executives apply it to them.
But there are many people who distrust or that politicians are not their referents ”.
He also accused that
there was "a tremendous campaign against" Sputnik V
.
"It is no
longer necessary to carry out
a campaign like the one planned,"
said Bianco and did not rule out that the province would carry out "a campaign if there is a part of the population that is not vaccinated after a massive vaccination process", but insisted that "due to now it is not necessary ”.

The offer, always in accordance with Sarlo's statement, came from Soledad
Quereilhac
, Kicillof's wife and former student of the essayist in the Literature career at the University of Buenos Aires.
The governor's wife said that "Beatriz
Sarlo has had no other recourse than to cackle lies in the media
" and denied having offered her the Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus.
"The truth is that, to overact her honesty, Beatriz Sarlo has had no other recourse than to cackle lies in the media," Quereilhac questioned through a letter that he released in the face of the controversy that was generated by the statements made by the writer in Comodoro Py.
Kicillof's wife also regretted that it all started with the public statements in which Sarlo "spoke of proposals 'under the table'" and that now he not only pointed to her as part of those efforts but also "ended up involving" the owner of the publishing house Siglo XXI Carlos Díaz.
Hours after declaring in Comodoro Py, Beatriz Sarlo referred to the offer she received to apply the coronavirus vaccine last January.
"Anything that comes out of the legal protocols begins being under the table. And then you can dress it saying 'look, all these were vaccinated, they believe in the vaccine
," said the essayist.
In statements to radio Con Vos, he highlighted the context in which he received the proposal, in which he involved Axel Kicillof's wife: "I repeat, it corresponds to the period in which the vaccine was viewed with distrust."
In addition, Sarlo explained with relative calm the details of the offer, which came to him when the Government was evaluating an awareness campaign on Sputnik V: "It was a public campaign that did not come to me with the forms of a public campaign, which must follow certain formulas. I did not receive an email like that. "
"The state bureaucracy cannot handle itself by addressing intellectuals through friends, without data, to ask them to do this or that," he added.
