French Prime Minister Jean Castex on Monday submitted a bill in the National Assembly on establishing a long-term health emergency management system to respond to exceptional situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bill is being dubbed as a “vaccine passport” owing to the language of the text and the sections conditioning access to certain activities and places based on a vaccine.
It allows the prime minister “to make the movement of persons, their access to means of transport or to certain places, as well as the exercise of certain activities at the presentation of the results of a screening test establishing that the person is not affected or contaminated, following a preventive treatment, including the administration of a vaccine, or a curative treatment.’’
Discussion on the topic had begun last week when members of the centrist and liberal UDI party proposed a “green passport” for vaccinated people on the lines of a similar proposal in Israel, allowing vaccinated people to go to restaurants or cultural places. UDI chief Jean-Christophe Lagarde defended the idea saying those “who are vaccinated, have the right to live normally”.
The timing of the bill, a week before France is set to administer Pfizer’s anti-COVID-19 vaccine beginning Dec. 27, has divided French politicians.
On Twitter, right-wing politician Marine Le Pen said: “We will never allow the government to impose by coercion what it has not been able to get accepted by confidence. There can be no second-class citizenship for unvaccinated individuals. It is deeply deleterious and liberticidal.”
Member of Parliament Frederique Dumas also tweeted: “We are in the middle of a nightmare … Emmanuel Macron and Jean Castex. We will not let you do it.”
Multiple polls have shown France has a high level of skepticism toward vaccines due to distrust in the government. A survey in Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper in December showed only 41% of the French planned to get immunized against COVID-19.
Health Minister Olivier Veran in an interview with BFMTV said the objective of the bill was to ensure “to not enter in the state of emergency again”.
France has ordered 200 million doses and approximately 1.16 million doses will be delivered by the end of the year for mainly the elderly and frontline workers.

The Gestapo and Communists are at it again. The French should give French Prime Minister Jean Castex, a vaccine passport to the Planet Mercury. I wonder how the Prime Minister, will like the heat, on the planet Mercury, due to global warming?
Britan should have blown up the chunnel years ago and kept itself clean of social and biological contamination.
I’d love to deport the entire posse of communists, marxists, socialists, liberalists, islamists and anarchists, INTO THE NEAREST available black hole!
As to the Channel tunnel. I’ve long felt, that it was a FOOLS ERRAND for that to have been built. WE’ve had over 4 hundred thousand illegal invaders, FLOOD INTO the UK, cause of that damnable thing….
Why not just use a star worn on the outer clothing, I’m sure the NAZIs probably still have a few laying around.
VHEERRR are your PAPPERS!!
France is a third world country now. Who would want to go there anyway?
That’s not the point as I see it. France will not be the only country with vaccine passports. Under Biden the US will have them too and that’s not the worst of it. I have no desire to go France or any other third world country but I can see Biden trying to put in place vaccine passports for travel within the US. Whitmer and Cuomo, among other blue state governors, would love that idea.
Democrats may also want vaccine passports to hold a job, attend school, shop at the local market and perhaps to even leave your house.
Remember, I’m talking about the lockdown Democrats who have publicly stated that they intend to get revenge on Trump supporters.
FOR weeks, i’ve been discussing these ‘Vaccine passports’ with others, and they kept saying “I am just a Conspiracy nut, if i think it would ever go that far… NOW I have been proven right, i wonder HOW many of those cretins who called me a nut, will say “OOPS, guess we were wrong”??
AND its not the GOVT mandating this, i fear that we will wind up getting it, VIA THE CORPORATIONS, as they start to mandate all workers get it (or be fired), and business/companies, mandate it of their customers.. essentially making anyone who CAN’T (or won’t) get the vaccine, into pariahs..
Perhaps, until more and more truths come out, like how Fauxi keeps changing the data and that asymptomatic people aren’t spreading the virus as much as “they” thought. People are starting to read thru the bs.
Not enough, are reading through the BS..
