Mauricette was moved.
We were with her.
The first to be vaccinated in France, this 78-year-old former household helper carried the hope of a whole country on Sunday.
After an agonizing year, it was as if a new page was finally opening.
Less gloomy, more optimistic.
The long history of the coronavirus will undoubtedly remember this long-awaited day, which marks the feat of medical research.
Never have vaccines been developed so quickly.
No offense to some, competition and progress are not empty words.
The French and the entire planet are not out of the woods, however.
No need to cry victory.
We will have to wait several more months before a majority of the population is vaccinated, a sine qua non of collective immunity.
Until then, everyday life will continue to look like it has been for almost a year: hardly cheerful.
The masks will not fall off.
All freedoms will not be restored.
