Het verhaal is een beetje anders dan in de media staat.
[i]"ROME - A longtime friend of Father Giuseppe Berardelli, who died in northern Italy from the COVID-19 coronavirus earlier this month, has described the priest as a caring and involved pastor, while also debunking what he says is “fake news” about the priest’s death.
Over the last 24 hours, Italian media have featured stories prominently about Berardelli, 72, claiming that he “donated” a ventilator being used to treat his COVID-19, allegedly declining to accept it so that it could be used to treat someone younger.
In reality, said Giuseppe Foresti, sacristan of Berardelli’s parish of St. John the Baptist in Casnigo, about 15 miles from Bergamo in northern Italy,
the elderly priest simply couldn’t tolerate the ventilator, in part because of preexisting health conditions, and refused to use it."
-Bron-Dus hij weigerde de ventilator omdat hij hem sowieso niet kon verdragen. Dat maakt het weigeren toch een klein beetje minder 'heiligmakend'..
