THE QUESTION
.
For the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, the time was not for
mea culpa
while the European Union is also strongly criticized for the slowness of its vaccination campaign.
The former Minister of the Economy under Jacques Chirac even made a commitment: "
Let us take a symbolic date: July 14, we have the possibility of achieving immunity at the level of the continent
", he declared on TF1 .

“
It's the home stretch because we know that to overcome this pandemic, there is only one solution: to get vaccinated.
The vaccines are coming, they will be there
”, assured the commissioner, specifying that“
between the month of March and the month of June, we will deliver between 300 and 350 million doses of vaccine
”.
But is it credible when Prime Minister Jean Castex, last Thursday, recalled that the objective was to vaccinate 10 million French people in mid-April, 20 million in mid-May and 30 million by the summer?
CHECKS
.
There is therefore a little over three and a half months left for the old continent to achieve “
collective immunity
”.
In reality, this bet rests on two thorny questions: how many people must be vaccinated to reach it?
how many people could we have vaccinated by then given the pace of deliveries?
