Transform the health pass into a vaccination pass, “it does not go far enough” reacted on franceinfo Patrick Kanner, PS senator from the North, president of the Socialist, Ecologist and Republican group in the Senate. While Prime Minister Jean Castex consulted local elected officials and group leaders in the National Assembly and the Senate on Tuesday, December 21, Gabriel Attal welcomed broad support for the transformation of the health pass into a vaccine pass.
This is particularly the case of Senator PS Patrick Kanner, who believes, however, that “it does not go far enough”, adding that there were still five million unvaccinated French people, and that the 3,000 beds currently required for resuscitation were again causing “deprogramming in hospitals “. Since July, the PS group has been calling for the establishment of a vaccination obligation rather than a pass. “The vaccination pass will be applied where the health pass is applied today, no extension”, explained the senator, that is to say that the pass will not be extended to new places for the moment. “A divide will be created between the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated, some of our compatriots will no longer be able to have a social life “, deplores however Patrick Kanner.
Regarding the vaccination of children, Patrick Kanner indicated that the PS group was in favor “on condition of leaving the parents free to choose to vaccinate them”. He believes that today we are facing “an epidemic of young people”, recalling the words of Jean Castex. This is why he judges this measure to be “most important”.
