VERIFICATION - Opponents of the sanitary pass see in the intervention of the CNIL proof of the uselessness of this device. Is right ?


THE QUESTION.

In force for several months, is the health pass actually "

ineffective

"?

On LCI, the candidate of the National Gathering for 2022 affirmed that this tool "

is strictly useless

": "

the vaccine does not prevent contamination, we do not see the interest there is in preventing certain people who are not vaccinated to access certain places, since anyway, those who are vaccinated are likely to transmit the virus,

"said Marine Le Pen.

Like the representative of the RN, several politicians questioned the validity of the past.

These elected officials also relied on the recent request of the CNIL, which deplored the lack of data allowing "

to assess the effectiveness

" of the tools deployed in the face of the epidemic, which is happening.

"

We know that it is 100% ineffective,

" criticized Florian Philippot on Twitter.

"

This evidence probably does not exist

," added François Asselineau.

So, can we prove the effectiveness of the health pass?

On what basis?

And what exactly did the CNIL ask the government?

CHECKS.

Let us return first to the foundations of the past. During discussions in the National Assembly in July, the rapporteur of the text extending this device assured that it should "

above all serve to intensify the fight against Covid-19

". “

Even if there is no such thing as zero risk, the likelihood of being infected and the likelihood of subsequently transmitting the virus is greatly reduced by being vaccinated or having recovered, not to mention people who have just tested negative on the virus. screening test

”, indicated the deputy (LREM) Jean-Pierre Pont. And to add: "

I cannot deny it, this device encourages vaccination

".

Two objectives are therefore linked: to encourage vaccination and "to

limit the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic

", according to the Constitutional Council.

The Council of State also recalled, in mid-July, that the past could not be justified only by the first objective: it had to present a "

specific interest

[...] to limit the spread of the epidemic [... . and not by an objective which would consist in inciting the people concerned to be vaccinated

”.
