Octogenarians in Tuscany have watched in disbelief and indignation as lawyers, magistrates, professors and other younger professionals received Covid-19 vaccinations before them, despite government pledges that Italy’s oldest citizens would be given priority.
Even some of the OAPs’ adult children jumped the queue ahead of them.
By one estimate, the failure to give jabs to the over-80s and those in fragile health has cost thousands of lives in a country with Europe’s oldest population and the continent’s second-highest coronavirus death rate.
