Covid, the volleyball player Francesca Marcon: “Pericarditis after vaccine”. The immunologist Abrignani: “Solidarity, but it cannot become an argument for no vax”

A story on Instagram that is causing discussion, especially the no vax. Volleyball player Francesca Marcon has pericarditis and asks if there is compensation: “Perhaps this speech of mine may be a bit blasphemous, but I wonder: there is no form of compensation for those who suffer health damage after getting the vaccine? Granted that I am not no vax, mI have never been convinced of making this vaccine and I have had confirmation. I don’t know if you are interested, but I have had and still have post vaccine pericarditis. Who pays the price for all this? ”. Many comments: some of solidarity, others of no vax, others still of those who ask what is the evidence that cardiac inflammation – which can be a rare adverse reaction of the RNA vaccine in younger people – is due to the vaccine and nothing else . The player was unable to attend the meeting of her team and in an interview stated that she may have to respect a long stop.

Professor intervenes on this point Sergio Abrignani, member of the CTS and immunologist of the State University of Milan who, interviewed by Ansa, says: “Maximum solidarity with Francesca Marcon, but post-vaccine pericarditis cannot become a topic in the hands of no vax to question vaccination. We knew that there was a risk of pericarditis, especially on young people under 30 in particular males – added Abrignani -, but in a very light form, solved in a few weeks with cortisone and sometimes even without. So much so that, as I seem to have understood, the athlete will start training again on August 24th. If the problem was not solved it would not resume. The important thing, however, is that cases like this do not inhibit vaccination – concluded the immunologist -. The vaccine is increasingly advantageous “.
