The vaccination pass “will have no impact on the current wave” of Covid-19, said Tuesday on franceinfo Bernard Jomier, senator of Paris related to PS, general practitioner, president of the Covid-19 information mission of the Senate, in charge of evaluating the effects of the measures taken or envisaged in terms of management of the epidemic, while the Senate is currently studying the draft law on the vaccine pass.
“There is no absolute urgency. The Omicron wave will not be affected by this pass”, insists Bernard Jomier. “He changes absolutely nothing” for people already vaccinated. “Almost 90% of the population of vaccine age are vaccinated. It is for others that this can make a difference.” But with his fellow senator socialists, Bernard Jomier believes that the past is “than a tool”. With his group, he defends “universal vaccination obligation” which would allow according to him that “Rule” or “the same for all”. This vaccine obligation “would bring together the French. The rule becomes the same for all. We do not oppose the professions between them”, underlines the senator.
“We do not say, the gendarmes are subject to the obligation, but not the police. Nobody understands, considers the senator. We do not divide the French among themselves, as has been done recently with the pressure that has been put on with the words of the Head of State, relayed by the government. “ Bernard Jomier is a supporter of “tell the French the truth. The truth is that everyone must be vaccinated and from there, we discuss quietly how to apply this obligation”.
To put this obligation into practice, “we must convince, insists the senator. We must continue to convince, to move towards. “ He ensures that in the event of compulsory vaccination, “The vaccination pass can indeed have its place. But we must discuss the modalities”.
Bernard Jomier believes that, “When we face a collective problem in society, we can accept restrictions for the general interest. But they must be framed very seriously by Parliament”. The senator puts forward “a red line” that his group “will not accept to cross” :“It is not possible to give citizens who have no security clearance to check the identity of other citizens. This is the red line. There is no reason to cross it. “ “That the police and the security forces control our identity, yes, that is the rule”, adds Bernard Jomier. But the government does not present any serious argument to say so, to legitimize the fact that someone who runs a bar, a restaurant, can control your identity. “
