“The Italians will present the bill”, the error of government and virologists – Libero Quotidiano

From the historical Franco Cardini heavy criticisms come about the work of the government and beyond. “We are experiencing a very serious pandemic – he explains in reference to the coronavirus emergency -. With new features that make it particularly dangerous: speed, aggression, propagation capacity. But statistically speaking, mortality is relatively low. And then the data are not trusted. ” For the essayist, asked by Day, “there is an implicit censorship from governments: numbers must be able to read”. In fact, it is enough to look at what is happening in Africa to understand better: “between Coronavirus and malaria combined – he explains – there have been three million deaths, which make the Western figures pale”.

But Cardini does not spare even blame the virologists who have occupied our talk shows for two months now: “Let’s say that we are witnessing the media catwalk of a new class: the pseudo-tailored scientists. Science sometimes bends to great speculation, to business to the interests of corporations. Multinationals, which are not exactly research and study organizations, provide credibility credentials to experts who guarantee non-objective truths. All in the name of profit, rather than the common good preached by Plato. ” Not to mention politics, in fact “it is very weak. Speaking as a historian, I say that the leader in modern representative democracies cares first of all for consensus. Trying to guess the decisions that will guarantee him votes”. For Giuseppe Conte there are no simple days: “People will present the account of the sacrifices and limitations of freedom. He is mathematician: no one can manage war and the post-war period”. And history confirms it.
