Are two laws better than one in Italy? Compulsory vaccinations, double trouble
No full textIl New York Times ha pubblicato un articolo che descrive la rapida escalation dell'incidenza del morbillo in Italia, presumibilmente a causa della disinformazione sui vaccini, che apparentemente è anche incoraggiata da alcuni partiti politici. Negli ultimi anni, un ampio sentimento anti-vaccino si è diffuso in tutto il paese e la copertura del vaccino ha continuato a diminuire. Qualcosa di simile è successo negli Stati Uniti, ma i partiti politici hanno fatto uno sforzo bipartisan "per riconoscere l'importanza di proteggere la salute pubblica dalle malattie prevenibili con i vaccini". L'atteggiamento anti-vaccino è principalmente dovuto allo sbiadimento delle malattie comuni dal punto di vista del grande pubblico: ciò consente all'attenzione dei genitori di passare da una ragionevole paura delle malattie a preoccupazioni eccessive sui potenziali rischi delle vaccinazioni. Per contrastare questo fenomeno, nel novembre 2016 il governo della Regione Emilia Romagna (Nord Italia) ha agito con una legge regionale per vietare l'iscrizione dei bambini a asilo nido se non sono vaccinati contro il tetano, l'epatite B, la difterite e la poliomielite, i quattro vaccini obbligatori. In Italia la salute è un diritto costituzionale: l'articolo 32 della Costituzione afferma che "la Repubblica protegge la salute come diritto fondamentale delle persone e come interesse per la comunità ''. In forza di questa affermazione, le vaccinazioni contro epatite B, tetano, poliomielite e difterite sono state rese obbligatorie a livello nazionale, ma dopo la riforma costituzionale del 2001, ai governi regionali è stata concessa una grande autonomia in materia di salute, compreso il potere di legiferare in materia di salute. Successivamente, nel 2008 la Regione Veneto ha sospeso le vaccinazioni obbligatorie per dare ai genitori il pieno diritto di scelta. D'altro canto, episodi recenti e gravi hanno messo in luce un conflitto tra la libera scelta di vaccinare e il diritto all'istruzione, che è anche costituzionalmente garantito. L'iniziativa promossa dal governo dell'Emilia Romagna sta cercando di risolvere questo conflitto, ma rischia anche di generare un paradosso, rendendo obbligatorio qualcosa di già obbligatorio e impegnandosi per legge a rispettare una legge. Il caos normativo può ridurre ulteriormente la fiducia e l'adesione alle normative e può compromettere la protezione della salute pubblica. In questo periodo di crisi e transizione, i legislatori e i responsabili politici dovrebbero parlare e agire in modo chiaro e unanime al fine di evitare di mettere in pericolo lo straordinario successo ottenuto in passato dalle campagne di vaccinazione in Italia. Allo stesso tempo, l'educazione generale non coincide necessariamente con l'alfabetizzazione sanitaria (HL) e l'HL limitato o insufficiente degli adulti è associato alla ridotta adozione di comportamenti protettivi come l'immunizzazione. Pertanto, campagne efficaci e favorevoli ai media, una legislazione più chiara ed elusione di regolamenti sovrapposti sono requisiti cruciali per rafforzare la responsabilizzazione della popolazione e l'efficacia della sanità pubblica.The New York Times published an article describing the quick escalation of measles incidence in Italy, allegedly as a result of misinformation on vaccines, which is apparently also encouraged by some political parties. In the past few years, a wide anti-vaccine sentiment has spread through the country, and vaccine coverage has kept going down. Something similar has happened in the USA, but political parties made a bipartisan effort "to recognize the importance of protecting public health against vaccine-preventable diseases''. Anti-vaccine attitude is mostly due to the fading of common disease from general public's view: this allows parents attention to shift from a reasonable fear of diseases to excessive concerns about the potential risks of vaccinations. To counter this phenomenon, in November 2016 the Government of Emilia Romagna Region (Northern Italy) acted with a regional Law to forbid children enrolment in day care if they are not vaccinated against Tetanus, Hepatitis B, Diphtheria and Poliomyelitis, the four mandatory vaccines. In Italy, health is a Constitutional right: article 32 of the Constitution states that "the Republic protects Health as a fundamental right of individuals and as an interest for the community''. In force of this statement, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, Poliomyelitis and Diphtheria vaccinations were made mandatory nationwide, but after the constitutional reform of 2001, a large autonomy on health matters has been granted to regional governments, including the power to legislate on health topics. Following this, in 2008 Veneto region suspended mandatory vaccinations in order to give parents the full right of choice. On the other hand, recent and serious episodes highlighted a conflict between the free choice to vaccinate and the right to be educated, which is also constitutionally guaranteed. The initiative promoted by the Emilia Romagna Government is trying to solve this conflict, but it also risks to generate a paradox, making compulsory something that is already compulsory, and committing by law to respect a law. Normative chaos may further decrease the trust and the adherence to regulations, and may compromise Public Health protection. In this period of crisis and transition, legislators and policy makers should speak and act clearly and unanimously in order to avoid endangering the extraordinary success obtained in the past by vaccination campaigns in Italy. At the same time, general education not necessarily matches with health literacy (HL), and limited or insufficient HL of adults is associated with reduced adoption of protective behaviors such as immunization. Therefore, strong and media-friendly campaigns, a clearer legislation, and the avoidance of overlapping regulations are crucial requirements to enhance the empowerment of the population and the efficacy of Public Health
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Conspiracy beliefs and COVID-19 vaccination intention: examining the mediating effects of trust and attitude
No full textBackground: During the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous conspiracy theories have spread
uncontrollably, with the risk of reducing adherence to recommended preventive behaviours,
including vaccination. The present study aimed to test the direct and indirect effects of antivaccine conspiracy beliefs on intention to get vaccinated against COVID-19, analysing the
mediating roles of trust in science, trust in government, and attitude towards vaccinating.
Methods: A convenience sample of 822 unvaccinated Italian adults (F = 67.4%; Mage =
38.1) completed an online self-report questionnaire during the early stages of the Italian
vaccination campaign (March-May 2021). The survey assessed intention to get vaccinated
against COVID-19, attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination, trust in science, trust in
government, and anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs. The hypothesised relationships between
the variables were examined by using path analysis.
Findings: The analyses revealed that anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs negatively influenced
intention to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Results also provided support for the
hypothesised mediating effects of attitude, trust in science, and trust in government. In
particular, the simple mediating effect of attitude was the strongest one, followed by the
serial mediating effect of trust in science and attitude itself.
Discussion: Anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs are suggested to reduce vaccination intention
first by deteriorating attitude and, secondly, by destroying trust in official sources of
information about COVID-19. These results indicate that improving people’s attitude towards
COVID-19 vaccination, along with increasing social trust, could be useful strategies to
combat conspiracy theories and promote COVID-19 vaccination acceptance

No full textPsychosocial Factors Influencing Parents’ Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccination for Their Children: An Italian Cross-Sectional Study
No full textVaccine hesitancy poses a significant threat to the health of individuals across all age groups, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this cross-sectional study, an extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was applied to investigate psychosocial variables predicting intention to vaccinate children under 12 against COVID-19 in a sample of 420 Italian parents (Mean age = 40.4, SD = 5.9; Women = 78.1%). Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that, among the TPB variables, cognitive attitude, descriptive norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly predicted parents’ vaccination intention. Furthermore, including trust in the institutions’ ability to manage the vaccination campaign in the model significantly increased the explained variance in intention. These findings suggest that campaigns promoting childhood COVID-19 vaccination should not only emphasize the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for children but also focus on reducing barriers to vaccination. Additionally, attention should be given to enhancing the perception that this behavior is widespread among other parents, thus leveraging the power of social influence. Finally, and not less important, significant efforts should be directed toward building and reinforcing trust in the system of actors promoting and managing the COVID-19 vaccination campaign
