Telethon, the attack of the animal at the milan headquarters of the Telethon. But we are not torturers of animals

the MILAN - This morning, the external facade of the milan headquarters of the Telethon, in via Carlo Poerio 14, was disfigured by inscriptions against the scientific research. The office was a gift from a generous person, eager that this place was intended for a community of patients and those who work every day dedicated to their care. It is here, in fact, working with employees Telethon, which deal with the allocation of funds to research projects and complex management in order to facilitate the progress of science toward the care.

meeting Place of scientists, and donors. Always here converge from all over Italy, scientists, donors, families, and representatives of associations around specific diseases for which you develop lines of research. The people you meet in the meeting rooms that carry the names of some of the children cared for, thanks to gene therapy. Today, someone decided to deface the house, a point of reference for many people who face every day challenges very delicate without ever losing the hope and trust in research. That same trust that just yesterday evening we heard invoke by the voice of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, to bring the Country out from this difficult time.

"The no-vax have returned into the circle of ugly diseases." "Behold," said Francesca Pasinelli, general director of Telethon Foundation - I believe that this act of vandalism arrivals, perhaps (I would hope) are now widely out from the chorus, and then pathetically weakened, in a historical moment that is emerging highlights the irrationality and danger of certain positions. In an Italy - he added - that the spread of the movements in the no-vax (the associations that are fighting against the use of vaccines no.d.r.) he did get back in circulation diseases very risky, as the measles and vaccination is still very little for the flu. But now the population calls mass the immediate availability of a vaccine against the coronavirus".

"we are Not sadistic torturers of animals". "I Hope that one thing will soon become clear to all of said Francesca Pasinelli - The vaccine against the Covid 19 will be put in place only thanks to animal testing. I do not hear any voice lifted in defense of those animals that will allow us to get out of the nightmare present. And perhaps, finally, they don't realize even those few uncivilized that today have cancelled, imbrattandola, a plaque that represents the voice of millions of people, who for 30 years, sharing the mission of promoting the best scientific research. A research that is not driven by sadistic torturers, but by great scientists that work every day to get us out of the darkness of illness and marginalization. Of course, he concluded, Pasinelli - clean this wall will have a cost".

"The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence"
