BAssetti attacked in a club by a No-Vax couple who reached the infectious disease specialist and threw a cocktail at him.
A couple caught up with him in a club in Santa Margherita Ligure, while he was spending the evening with his wife and a group of friends, and threw a cocktail at him. “I'm sorry that there are people who throw a glass of ice at you because you said you need to get vaccinated”, the Genoese head physician told AGI.
“It's crazy”, commented Bassetti who reported the episode to the police who identified the two attackers. The infectious disease specialist described the manner of the attack on social media: “As I hand over my credit card to pay the bill, a cocktail filled with ice and its contents comes at me from behind – he said -.
The cubes hit my head and the liquid runs down my back. I think it's a joke. I turn around and see a couple looking at me very aggressively and after I ask what they had done, they then run away from the place. Chased and caught up by my friends, the two shout that I am the one 'who gave the injections that killed a lot of people' and that I deserved to be hit". Bassetti, after the episode, said he was "sad", also because "a State that doesn't know how to protect and defend its doctors, after what has happened in the last two years, has little future", commented.
