An anti-vaxxer followed and
threatened a top Italian vaccine expert in Genoa on Sunday
night, sources said Monday.
Matteo Bassetti, an expert in infectious diseases at Genoa's San
Martino Hospital, was accosted by a 46-year-old man who has
been cited for issuing serious threats.
The man reportedly came across Bassetti in the street and
started following him, filming him on his phone and shouting at
him: "You're going to kill all of us with these vaccines and
we're going to make you pay", sources said.
The doctor called the police who identified the man and cited
him.
Meanwhile in Rome, a video journalist from La Repubblica daily
was attacked by a protester at an anti-Green Pass sit-in outside
the Education Ministry.
There have been several protests against the vaccine passport,
which on Monday became obligatory for domestic air and
long-distance rail travel.
Italy has a fairly strong anti-vax movement.
