I ask the Head of State to put the package together to get some.

He must twist the arm of the laboratories.

In the face of the global pandemic, the protection of patents and their benefits does not interest me.

If the laboratories are withholding vaccines, the President of the Republic must go into battle,

”insists the city councilor.

Vaccination remains the hope of getting out of a crisis which has left more than 81,000 dead in France.

But there is still a long way to go: only three million people have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

"

What interests me is efficiency,

" pleads Benoît Payan.

Today we vaccinate around 3,000 people per week.

A little less than 30% of the 80,000 Marseillais over 75 years old have been vaccinated and 40% of those over 80 years old.

However, the incidence rate drops sharply among those over 80.

It means that the vaccination works

”, underlines the mayor of Marseille who speaks of a“

pivotal moment

”.

I am ready to open the Stade-Vélodrome in the coming days and to vaccinate 10,000 people per week without an appointment.

I want to do it.

Send vaccines!

", Launches the elected according to whom it is necessary to concentrate the doses of vaccines available"
