Last Thursday, Mauro Viale received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. And I was happy. The 73-year-old journalist, who did not stop working throughout the pandemic both in A24 like in Mauro the truth For America, he had reached the moment of being inoculated without having contracted the disease and he hoped to continue avoiding contagion. However, on Saturday morning, his partner Eduardo Bataglia confirmed that after experiencing some symptoms, the COVID-19 test had been performed and the result had been positive.

Mauro had given the news of his vaccination on the news channel that has him as one of its main figures. “Today I went to get vaccinated and the first thing they did was take my temperature”, he had told. And then he had explained: “They warned me that I could get a fever. They are aiming to call me to ask if I had a fever because it is very dangerous for the vaccine to act with this side effect. I do not have a fever”.

It should be noted that Viale was vaccinated by following all the corresponding steps. In mid-February, when the “Vip Vaccination” scandal broke out as a result of the statements of Horacio Verbitky that ended with the resignation of the then minister of health, Ginés González García , the journalist had given his opinion on his air program. “He should not have buttoned, that is a scoundrel that friends do not do,” he said then.

And he explained his position. “If you compromise a friend who is giving you a hand, that the hand he gives you is wrong, do you go to a radio program and tell about it?” And he assured that the Verbitky had added “a mess” to the government of Alberto Fernandez. “The minister may have been wrong, it is their issue. Now: I could never be friends with a guy who does those things, “he said. And he acknowledged that González García sent himself a “macanón” and had “to pay for it”, but was upset that he had been thrown “like a dog” from his position.

A few weeks ago, Mauro had been concerned about the health of two of his friends hospitalized for coronavirus: Marcelo araujo, who was also involved in a scandal when one of his daughters wanted to evict his wife from the apartment, and Guillermo Coppola. The latter, who has already been discharged and continues his recovery at home, had sent him an audio that the journalist reproduced in The Giglic, his program on Radio Rivadavia .. “This is Guillote in pulmonary rehabilitation right at the moment when you are in your program. Good Sunday, I send you a huge kiss. Here we are getting into it and getting used to living with what there is. This is my turn today: mechanical oxygen assistance and pulmonary rehabilitation. Forgive me, I owe you a little note, but I leave you a big hug for you and all your listeners who are many. Hugs, “said the former representative of Diego Maradona from the Sanatorio Finochietto.
