I pray (again) “out of place” on TV: “Fourth dose if you want to celebrate Christmas”

Different song from last year, but identical script with a clearly defined purpose: to urge Italians to get the fourth dose too. So the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco He accepted Massimo Giletti’s invitation and sang (so to speak) on the sheet music of “Tu scendi dalle stelle”, a song to encourage citizens to get involved again in the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus. The result was very questionable, between the delayed attack and the obviously lost intonation.

Pregliasco, guest of the last episode of It’s not the arena On Ba7 he became the protagonist of a curtain with the conductor. Remembering the pro-vaccine song sung about 12 months ago, it was decided to fantasize about a new version for the fourth dose of the vaccine: “You come down from the stars, beautiful vaccine, you have to do the fourth dose if you want to celebrate Christmas, you have to do the fourth dose if you want to celebrate Christmas”.

The performance did not go unnoticed on social media as quite a few Twitter users expressed the stunned and disapproval of the remake of “You come down from the stars“With the Christmas holidays coming up in just over a month. There are many reactions online: “ridiculous”; “Disgusting”; “Total disgust”.

And there are those who have not given up irony: “When I saw him last year, I did not want to believe it. But 2022 has flown by, it’s the beginning of November and Christmas is just around the corner. 2023.” ; “It’s beautiful. Think I’ve set it as a ringtone for every rompicoxxxxxi I know, so as soon as I hear it I already know to ignore the phone.”

On the other hand, none other than December 2021, when the most recognizable faces of television in the Covid-19 era (Andrea Crisanti, Matteo Bassetti and Pregliasco himself) had sung the vaccine-friendly version of Jingle Bells. At that time, too, the resonance was disastrous from the point of view of intonation. In the case of “Yes, yes, Vax”, the virologists had invited the Italians to undergo the third dose of vaccination “if you want to go to the happy bar to party” and also offered advice such as “If you want to stay calm, kiss grandparents not yourself”. To spend a merry Christmas, “pick up the syringe”, because with the third dose “you will have happy parties”. Apparently, the criticisms and controversies of the past year were not enough to discourage the virologist .. .
