“We have to get people to understand that it is absolutely necessary to get vaccinated”, defended Saturday, December 18, on franceinfo, Jérôme Marty, general practitioner and president of the union of the French Union for free medicine, while the government wants to replace the health pass by a vaccination pass. He denounces “these criminals” who participate in putting “bad ideas”, from “false beliefs” in the minds of unvaccinated people.
franceinfo: Should we impose a vaccination obligation?
Jérôme Marty: We approach it with the idea of a vaccination pass and it is not cheerful. But you should know that there are still more than 5 million unvaccinated French people, it is too much.
In intensive care centers, we have a vast majority of unvaccinated people, hospitalized in serious condition, who sometimes die and that we can no longer accept.

We have to get people to understand that it is absolutely necessary to get vaccinated. We have the Omicron variant coming in, it’s extremely contagious. It is even faster than we thought, which means that our resuscitation centers will be saturated with Covid-19 patients within a fortnight or twenty days and to avoid this, people really have to look after themselves. get vaccinated.
How do you explain that 5 million French people are not vaccinated?
There are false beliefs and these false beliefs come from social networks but above all from structures which have come together, which have industrialized communication around the anti-tax doctrine, such as the Reinfo Covid collective for example, and which put bad ideas in the head of people, deceive them and falsify science. They are criminals. If there are people to be penalized, who must answer for their actions, it is they. We see people who have fallen on that side, who – once in intensive care – regret it and tell us. Some die from it. We can no longer accept that.
Should the scope of use of this vaccination pass be extended, especially at school?
It is especially necessary that we close the classes from the first case, as we did before.
We have an extremely important flow of the virus in schools. This is probably due to the Omicron variant, but we are seeing more and more children in hospital.

However, the doctrine put in place is not the right one. We rule out the student who has Covid, we test the others and we forget that we are contaminated three days before presenting the symptoms. Which means that we have opened wide the tap of viral circulation. So we have to go back to the previous doctrine. It is also necessary to communicate on barrier gestures, to communicate on ventilation, to give establishments open to the public, to businesses, to ventilate well. Finally, concerning the vaccination of children, it must remain on a voluntary basis. It touches the flesh of the flesh and it is imperative that we be scientific and that we build care as we do in our offices with parents and children.
