Did the government, by choosing the vaccination pass instead of a real obligation to vaccinate, seek to discharge itself from compensation for possible side effects? It is what many netizens say ensuring that the National Office for Compensation for Medical Accidents (Oniam), placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, intervenes only in the context of compulsory vaccinations.
Thus, only people who have been forced by law to be vaccinated, such as caregivers for example, would be covered in the event of proven side effects. The rumour, which certain parliamentarians, such as Senator LR Alain Houpert, helped to feed, is based on an erroneous analysis, and above all dated.
Initially, it was actually planned that Oniam, created in 2002, would only compensate the victims of vaccination campaigns if the latter were compulsory. But its scope was extended by the law relating to the rights of patients and the quality of the health system. This specifies that the organization’s compensation missions also concern the victims of emergency health measures.
Vaccination against Covid having been implemented in this specific context of the health emergency, all French people who have received injections will be well taken care of in the event of side effects. Whether they received injections because they were forced to, like caregivers or firefighters, or simply because they wanted to.
