– Against the evils caused by today's epidemiological crisis, in fact, only doctors, epidemiologists and virologists are fighting, - says the Professor – - Paying due respect to the heroic efforts of doctors and virologists, many of whom literally risk their lives performing their professional duties in various regions of the world, we can not but admit that their efforts alone are clearly not enough.

After all, science – that is, the social institution through which modern civilization exists – was created so that man could resist the destructive forces of nature.
