“The vaccination pass is a disguised form of compulsory vaccination. But it is more effective than an obligation, preventing people from going to bars, restaurants, places open to the public if they are not vaccinated, it is more effective than fining them 100 euros if we catch them in the street ”, explained Olivier Véran.

This change, announced by the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, on Friday, at the end of the health defense council, must still be validated by Parliament on January 10 to enter into force. “The idea is not to punish, sanction, ostracize, the idea is to say” now, we no longer have a choice, we no longer hesitate, because we cannot continue to fill our hospitals , we cannot continue to live like that under the threat of epidemic waves because 5 million French people still do not choose to protect themselves “”, he justified.
If this measure is passed, the French must necessarily have been vaccinated with a booster dose – or cured of the coronavirus – to enter places subject to the pass, such as restaurants, cinemas or museums, a negative test for the coronavirus will not suffice. more.
