08:31 : “I found subsistence work at the factory. I’ve been gone too long. I’ve done my grief work from the hospital.”
And if the vaccination obligation were lifted, the suspended caregivers would not all return to work. Since last September and the entry into force of the measure, some, like Emilie, have told me that they have turned the page, out of the need to find an income or out of rejection from the institution and certain colleagues with whom relations have deteriorated. were tense. They also find it hard to believe in their possible reintegration: Emmanuel Macron opened the door in April, but wants to wait for the Scientific Council to qualify the Covid-19 as“endemic”. The HAS, which was to be seized for an opinion, has not yet been. More details in my article.
08:24 : Reintegrating the non-vaccinated would, on the other hand, make it possible to strengthen the staff of hospitals, which is why personalities like Patrick Pelloux are calling for it to be done. But, nine months after the entry into force of the vaccination obligation, there is no count of the number of caregivers dismissed for this reason: in the fall, the figure of 7,930 caregivers had been advanced, but it is likely to be incomplete and to have evolved a great deal since then. Impossible, therefore, to measure the usefulness of their return for the public hospital.
08:27 : “The epidemiological argument was true and could become so again [en cas de nouvelle vague]. This is when the risk of these people being infected is high. And if they are in contact with fragile patients, we put these patients at risk.”
Unsurprisingly, epidemiologists tend to favor the suspension of unvaccinated people. They recall that the vaccine does not prevent contamination, but reduces the risk. And that it is far from impossible that a new epidemic wave will hit France in the months to come.
08:19 : The emergency crisis and the glaring lack of staff in hospitals are helping to put back on the table a measure that was no longer really debated: the vaccination obligation for caregivers. The CGT, in particular, makes it a claim within the framework of the social movement organized today. But this idea raises many questions: isn’t it still risky from a health point of view? Are the suspended caregivers numerous enough to change the situation? And do they want their jobs back? I try to answer it in this article.

07:42 : A week after Emmanuel Macron’s announcement of a “flash mission” to find solutions to the emergency crisis, nine unions and hospital collectives are calling for a day of action today.
