Anti-vaxxer tries to treat self at home, dies

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 22 - A 50-year-old Italian anti-vaxxer tried to treat himself for COVID-19 at home and died of the virus, Il Piccolo newspaper reported at the weekend.
    The 50-year-old businessman died in Trieste on Friday, the paper said.
    He ran a bed and breakfast with his wife and had a small company.
    He got the first COVID symptoms last week and started treating himself with remedies pushed on anti-vax websites.
    But his condition worsened and he had a cardiac arrest.
    An emergency crew rushed to his home but could only confirm he was dead.
    Trieste emergency service chief Doctor Alberto Peratoner told Il Piccolo: "entrusting yourself to treatment and professionals not in line with scientific evidence is very dangerous". (ANSA).
