“We consider that the conditions could be met by spring” to lift the vaccination pass, said the Minister of Health Olivier Véran on Friday February 11 on France Bleu Isère, in agreement with the government spokesperson Gabriel Attal who mentioned on Wednesday the possible end of the pass “by the end of March” Where “At the beginning of April”. A new wave of reductions in health measures is due to take place next Wednesday.
“We will lighten the vaccination pass when the conditions are met, that is to say that we will no longer need to deprogram care for the French for lack of space in intensive care because there would be too many patients with Covid-19 and non-vaccinated in reality and when the incidence rate, the circulation of the virus will allow it, with the guarantee that there is not a new virus”he explained.
While several “freedom convoys” opposed to health measures are converging on Paris from the South and Brittany in particular, the Minister of Health insisted that the “reasoning” government health “don’t [faisait] not from people who dispute the legitimacy of the vaccine to protect them. Never”corn “on the basis of science”.
Recognizing that not all opponents of the vaccine pass are conspirators, he nevertheless declared that, faced with these people who “consider that we want to poison them”, “we missed something, not in this health crisis but for years in our country, in our society.”
“People feel so marginalized, so out of step with scientific knowledge, the political world, the media world, that they consider that while we want to protect them, we are at the head of a plot aimed at their harm.”

Olivier Véran ended up being ironic by evoking a conversation with a counterpart during the meeting of the 27 European Ministers of Health on Thursday in Grenoble so that health becomes a European competence: “One of my counterparts from a large neighboring country told me ‘I’m fed up, every time we make decisions in our country, I’m told: ‘Do like the French’. Like what no one is prophet in his country.”
