Health pass conditioned by a vaccination booster: for seniors, "the worst is that we will have to do it"

2021-11-09T20:49:46.411Z


From December 15, those over 65 will have to have their vaccine booster shot to be able to continue living with the pass


Nearly two-thirds of people over 65, excluding residents of nursing homes, have already received their third dose of anti-covid vaccine. A more than honorable but insufficient proportion for Emmanuel Macron who wishes to "accelerate" the pace. Rather than inciting and calling for the responsibility of seniors who have not yet taken their wake-up call, the President of the Republic is choosing the hard way. "From December 15, you will need to justify a reminder to extend the validity of your health pass," he said during his televised address. In other words, and with the approach of the end of the year holiday season, there is no longer any question of going to the cinema or to a restaurant without a third dose. And no longer possible to travel by train over long distances or to board a plane ...

For Marie, 74, this additional constraint is “unacceptable”.

“This is a new attack on our individual freedoms, ignites this retiree who divides her time between Paris and Saint-Avold (Moselle).

The way in which the first vaccination campaign was managed already annoyed me, but then there!

"

The one who presents herself as "pro-Macron" does not understand how it is possible to deprive a category of the population from enjoying things as simple as going for a drink in a cafe or going to a restaurant.

"The worst part is that we will have to come to terms with it if we want to continue living almost normally, but I'm afraid that this will cause a real fed up with people who do not need to much more to stand up and revolt.

"

Unlike Marie, Gérard, a 76-year-old retired accountant, applauds with both hands.

"Nothing could be more normal," estimates this inhabitant of Clichy (Hauts-de-Seine) with silver hair still well trimmed.

We have to go through this because the French are what they are.

If we just tell them

please do it

, we'll still be there at the end of the year.

I am a bit like that myself.

I dragged on for this third dose and my appointment is not stalled until the end of November when I could have already been bitten.
