MiBACT undersecretary: vaccine scare hurts tourism

“The New York Times article regarding vaccines does a disservice to our country especially with regard to tourism.” This was stated by Dorina Bianchi, undersecretary for Tourism at the Ministry of Culture. The reference is to thearticle, published May 2 in the New York Times, in which the 5 Star Movement was attributed an active anti-vaccine stance. “The United States,” the undersecretary noted in the press release, “is the first non-European country in terms of origin, and the alarm raised recently about the possibility of contracting measles in Italy, despite Minister Lorenzin’s recommendations, is also worrying because it could lead to a contraction of flows.”

“Italy,” Dorina Bianchi finally reassures, “is a safe country for the health of our guests. The opposite idea must not be engendered.” Finally, she wanted to specify that “vaccinating is a gesture of personal responsibility and towards society, and in the new Lea we have provided for free vaccines and without co-pay, an important tool of prevention for the health of citizens.”
