Marco Melandri: "I took Covid on purpose so as not to get the vaccine"

"I caught the virus because I tried to catch it, and, unlike many vaccinated people, I made a tremendous effort to get infected".

This was stated by former MotoGP rider Marco Melandri.

In an interview with the Mow website, Melandri explained that he was infected with Covid "on purpose to be able to be in good standing for at least a few months and it wasn't even easy".

"I had to get infected by necessity - explained Melandri - having to work and not considering the vaccine as a valid alternative".

Then the former driver had his say on the measures taken by the Government: "I am fine, completely asymptomatic from the beginning. I have already been negative for some time, but those who do not have the green pass must still remain in punishment for ten days (if you don't have the green card you have to stay at home in detention more). If a guy hadn't called me to tell me he was positive after being in contact with me I wouldn't have even noticed. "

Again: "I know many people with two doses who try to get infected to avoid the third. However for me the green pass was and remains a blackmail - he added - I will only use it for work and if I have to accompany my daughter. I am willing to use it only for what is strictly necessary ".

"I have nothing against the vaccinated, as clearly I have nothing against the unvaccinated," said Melandri. “I am against violations of freedom. The Constitution tells us that we are free to choose and to choose what to treat ourselves with, while this government has definitely shit on us. And I am very worried about the continuation. "
