    Title translation Solidarity, covid-19 and a lever without fulcrum.
    Abstract Herd, or collective, immunity has been a permanent reference all along the Covid-19 pandemic, often misunderstood as a technical synonym of "epidemic end" once a threshold value of immunized people is reached. The pandemic development has shown that with current variants transmissibility and current vaccines such critical threshold cannot be reached. An effective collective immunity is however attainable, the stronger the higher the population proportion of vaccinated people. This immunity, a powerful brake on the epidemic progression, depends on the degree of solidarity that society enacts as a whole via containment measures (physical distancing, masks) and vaccination. A clear solidarity deficit is manifest within countries in the form of repeatedly delayed adoption of correct interventions against the epidemic and between countries with the heavy shortage of vaccines in countries with low and middle-low income. The lever of counter epidemic actions by governments and health authorities cannot operate without the support of a fulcrum of civic solidarity: it depends only on citizens, individually and collectively, to build it small stone upon stone.

    Abstract Matching epidemiology's aspirations to actual delivery of goods valuable for population health depends both on the scientific and operational capabilities of epidemiology and on the degree to which the goods meet its contract with society. Epidemiology's capabilities have advanced remarkably in recent decades, although research gaps have appeared during the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Epidemiology's social contract reflecting a dual commitment to science and health could arguably be entirely met by producing research results under conditions variously described as objective, impartial, neutral, or independent and handing such results to decision makers and the public at large. However, a closer examination shows that those four terms address sharply distinct issues, with distinct practical implications, and that the epidemiologist responsibility is de facto involved beyond providing research results. Hence the epidemiologist's engagement should encompass arguing from a science-for-health viewpoint and proactively driving the results into decision processes on public health issues.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has developed as a consequence of sheer prevention failures, leading in many countries to a sizeable number of deaths and over-saturation of intensive care units. This triggered the imposition of generalisd quarantine ('lockdown') of variable stringency in different countries: with the decrease of the epidemic, the lockdown is now gradually relaxed and replaced by tight tracing and isolation of new cases and their contacts. Prevention, however, remains not a constant priority, as the objective may be avoidance of saturation of intensive care beds or more generally of healthcare facilities rather than the minimisation of the disease incidence. This combined with the fact that notwithstanding repeated warnings in past years the epidemic occurred as a surprise denotes a way of thinking in which prevention is an important option but not a guiding principle of choice and action within the health system. To modify this way of thinking and place prevention at the core of the system, non-negligible changes are required: they may become possible in light of emerging hazards like new viruses and climate change, huge economic costs of failed prevention and initial changes in the health system already induced by the COVID-19 epidemic.
