The Italian government has made the decision to lift fines associated with noncompliance to mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations. This policy was originally instituted to enhance vaccination rates during the pandemic, which has sadly resulted in over 190,000 lives lost in Italy. The vaccination mandate specifically affected educators, healthcare workers, and individuals aged 50 and older, with penalties that included suspension from work without pay and fines of 100 euros.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who took office in late 2022, has expressed her critique of the strategies employed by previous administrations regarding COVID-19 and has promised to pursue a different approach moving forward. The recent decision to eliminate fines has prompted a range of reactions from opposition parties, who have voiced concerns that this change may unintentionally foster greater anti-vaccination sentiments among the population.

Trump has done the same with promises to reinstate military members dismissed over vaccination statuses and maintains a strong relationship with the Italian Prime Minister.

The truth survived the Biden administration and now the rest of the world can follow through on correcting injustices against those that fought against COVID vaccine mandates and misinformation.
