A no vax couple threw him a cocktail in a nightclub in Santa Margherita Ligure (Genoa) while he was spending a quiet evening with his wife and a group of friends.

It happened last night to the Genoese infectious disease specialist Matteo Bassetti: " A true no vax aggression in a moment of carefree ", tells the one who with the Covid pandemic has now become a well-known face on TV as well as one of the main supporters of the vaccination campaign .

“As I hand over my credit card to pay the bill, a cocktail full of ice and its contents comes over me from behind. The cubes hit my head and the liquid runs down my back. I think of a joke, then I turn around and see a couple looking at me very aggressively . I ask them why and they run away from the club ".

Bassetti's friends chased them and asked for the reason for the gesture: "Bassetti is the one who did the pricks that killed a lot of people , he deserves to be hit and attacked," they said.

The carabinieri intervened on the spot and proceeded to identify the attackers.

“I'm tired of these constant attacks on me and my family. I am frankly heartbroken and now speechless - Bassetti unleashes -. I just did my job as a doctor by pushing people to get vaccinated . I feel absolute sadness. A state that does not know how to protect and defend its doctors, after what has happened in the last two years, has little future ”.
