Vaccine-injury groups hold memorial and conference at Italy’s Senate
Vaccine-injury groups gathered at Italy’s Senate for a memorial and a conference hosted by League senator Claudio Borghi.
The meeting took place on the same day President Sergio Mattarella praised medical research and warned against strong opposition to vaccines.
The Democratic Party criticized the event, calling it an affront and objecting to the Senate hosting such conferences.
The memorial named 42 people whom the organizers said had died or been disabled after vaccines, based on cases reported to their association.
The conference also challenged pandemic-era vaccine rules, including mandates and the Green Pass, and included presentations by doctors and lawyers.
Borghi supports a bill to reinstate doctors struck off during the pandemic; it is scheduled for the Senate in January, where Forza Italia wants changes.
