Yes Vax, the song with controversy of the three virologists

A sheep’s day he has been doing it for weeks: he invites the guests of the Rai Radio 1 radio show to sing. The last concert featured three virologists among the best known in Italy involved in the song “Yes Vax” which is a revised version of Jingle Bells.

The program conducted by Geppi Cucciari and Giorgio Lauro created a trio, like the three tenors, like Morandi-Ruggeri-Tozzi. They are finished on stage Matteo Bassetti, director of the San Martino Polyclinic Hospital in Genoa, Andrea Crisanti, full professor of microbiology at the University of Padua, and Fabrizio Pregliasco, Health Director of the IRCCS Galeazzi Institute of Milan.

The basis of the song is the famous Christmas motif, the theme of the new version is the vaccination against Covid-19. This is the text:

“Yes yes yes vax let’s get vaccinated
If you want to stay quiet, don’t kiss grandparents
Covid will no longer exist if you help us too
If you want to go to the bar
Happy to celebrate
The doses you have to do
To make a good Natal
Eat the panettone
Go get the injection
Protect others as well as protect yourself
With the third dose you will have joyful parties
Covid will no longer exist if you help us too
For the decline in infections, doses also to the Magi “

The performance was not liked very much. On social media, the jokes and even the slating started immediately. The will of the transmission and of the virologists is always to support the vaccination campaign, certainly not to provide singing proof. Comments? «Grotesque», «Embarrassing», «A favor to the no-vax». Few who have appreciated.
