Maddalena Loy had recalled a phrase attributed to Goebbels about the repetition of lies and had defined the accusation from the opposition that the Meloni government had cut funding for public health as false. Loy had contested the data from the Gimbe Foundation, led by Nino Cartabellotta, on the 18.8 billion euros of “invisible cuts.” According to her reconstruction, the figure did not indicate resources taken away from hospitals but the difference compared to what would have been allocated had the ratio between the national health fund and GDP of 2022 remained unchanged. She argued that Gimbe’s headline had led publications like Repubblica to present the figure as an actual loss and called that interpretation a political attack on the government. In comparing allocations, Loy pointed out an increase of 8.2 billion euros between 2011 and 2019, under the Monti, Letta, Renzi, Gentiloni, and Conte governments; of 11.6 billion euros between 2019 and 2022, during the Conte government; and of 17.5 billion euros between 2022 and 2026, with the Meloni government, which would raise the fund from 125.4 to 142.9 billion euros. She described the latter as the largest accounting increase in peacetime. Loy also mentioned monthly increases of around 400 euros for doctors, peaking at 600 euros, a plan to hire 1,000 doctors and 6,300 nurses, coverage of over 2,000 new services, and a flat tax of 15% on overtime for doctors and nurses. She finally contested the statements of Senator Castellone on L’Aria che tira regarding cuts to healthcare. #SanitàPubblica #GovernoMeloni #FakeNews (translated)

Let's talk about vulnerable subjects – continues Grossi, who signed the note along with lawyers Vita Maria Ippolito, Riccardo Marceca, Vito Livadia, and Salvatore Accardo – entrusted to a healthcare system that turned out to literally be a hell on earth. An nightmare occurred for 3,000 people: some woke up and had nothing, some did not wake up because they died, and about 300 people had a tumor that no one diagnosed in time. A year of silence that led the lawyers of the patients' families to write a very harsh note: “Let's talk about vulnerable subjects – continues Grossi, who signed the note along with lawyers Vita Maria Ippolito, Riccardo Marceca, Vito Livadia, and Salvatore Accardo – entrusted to a healthcare system that turned out to literally be a hell on earth.

Matteo Bassetti wrote that what concerned him was not the individual death, but the methods of contagion in case pneumonic plague was confirmed. He said it would be very serious if a laboratory had manipulated pathogens for offensive purposes and highlighted the lack of transparency, citing contradictory versions, incomplete information, and quarantines without clear explanations. Bassetti specified that there was not enough evidence to speak of plague or bioterrorism and called for transparency, independent checks, and complete information. He also asked whether, if it really was plague, the contagion had been contained and whether the information provided to the world was accurate. #Peste #PestePolmonare #Bioterrorismo #SicurezzaBiologica #Biosicurezza #SanitàPubblica #Trasparenza #Russia #Peste #Bioterrorismo #Trasparenza (translated)
