Most Italians experienced the arrival of vaccines against Covid-19 as the liberation from a nightmare, the return to the old, more familiar, and safer road, a road that would allow them to definitively set aside not only quarantines, gloves, masks, and disinfectants but, above all, would prevent them from falling ill and dying from a seemingly apocalypticdisease. Aided by the big media, many Italians found the position of those who distrusted vaccines unreasonable. Refusing vaccination, refusing the infamous swab and the green (or black…) pass were understood as an escape from one's responsibilities and many here in Italy openly sided with the punitive constraints invented by the government and with the truncheons that the police democratically distributed, with no avarice at all, on the demonstrators who dared to protest. The efficacy of vaccines and their side-effects would deserve a separate encyclopaedia, but it can still be said that, so far, they have not been quite the dazzling invention for which they were sold to us, and potentially there are hidden aspects that could be tragically evident in the not-too-distant future, with consequences not only related to the purely medical sphere.
