"From next January 10 or, in any case, since the unvaccinated will no longer be able to sit at a table, not even in the outdoor area, I have decided that I will apply a discount on their take-away drinks, because it seems right, since they will not be able to take advantage of a complete service". Speaking is Sonia Oliverio, owner of a café in the center of Ventimiglia.
The woman is not vaccinated, but in compliance with health regulations she swabs three times a week to be able to work
. "I decided that I will put coffee at 80 cents, instead of one euro and I will also make discounts on cappuccinos and glasses of milk. We had a flood (in October 2020, ed) and the lockdown and they all helped me: vaccinated and not vaccinated.
Previously, the unvaccinated could not have coffee inside the bar, but only outside or at the counter; now not even at the counter anymore; and soon not even sitting in the outdoor area. I put myself in their shoes.
Life is sad already like this, why even take away the possibility of having a coffee? It seems to go back to the 40s of the last century. It is not possible for a person to pay taxes and be denied to sit in a bar. The vaccine is mandatory and I will do it too - he said -. I'm not against vaccines, God forbid. I vaccinated both my daughters; I myself have vaccinated myself against various diseases, even for a fee. But done once, it lasts forever or for many years. If there is a smallpox epidemic, I am protected, but it is not possible that we have to be vaccinated every four months ".
The Imperia has a low percentage of vaccinated, equal to 53% against 78.7% of the entire region.
