Christian Estrosi wants to go further than the government.
The mayor of Nice, invited this Thursday morning of BFMTV, estimated that the unvaccinated should be deprived of unemployment insurance, in the midst of the Omicron wave.
"Those who would not be vaccinated should be confined at home under the same conditions as in March and April 2020 and not be entitled to unemployment insurance", launched the elected representative of the Alpes-Maritimes, who wants to harden the tone with regard to unvaccinated people in France, i.e. nearly 5 million people.
"When we make society take such risks, we have to pay the price," he added.

"Those who pose a threat to our country are those who remain in unacceptable postures, and I want zero tolerance in this area", explained the mayor of Nice, who said he was "in favor of the obligation of vaccination », While the government is currently legislating to transform the health pass into a vaccination pass.
"The vaccinated do not have to pay for the unvaccinated"
The semantics of Christian Estrosi, who believes that "the vaccinated do not have to pay for the unvaccinated", resembles that of the Prime Minister of Quebec, François Legault, who announced Tuesday that Quebec was going to put in place a tax for adults who refuse to be vaccinated against Covid-19 without a medical reason.
More generally in Canada, the government has also raised the possibility of depriving unvaccinated people of their unemployment insurance.
