I met Camillo Ricordi just once. In my life as in my job, I have no enemies to strike or friends to justify. However, public behaviour and coherence inside and outside our profession are essential, if we want to be credible. Ricordi, in my opinion, is not. His public behaviour “not in favour or against” a State fraud that is damaging the patients is not excusable (especially, I would say) if you have a “big name”.

His attempt to get credits by “discrediting Italian science and medicine”, as we could not fully comprehend what Stamina is doing, is not excusable.
