Monday, October 25 in Martinique, nearly 1,300 people gathered to show their opposition to the health pass. Tensions are growing between pro-vaccines and anti-vaccines.
Nurses, pharmacy workers and firefighters took to the streets of Fort-de-France. All are opposed to the health pass. However, the checks at the hospital gates have already disappeared. Indeed, since last Wednesday, the health pass is no longer mandatory to enter.
Unvaccinated caregivers need to get tested, but can work. A calming measure taken by management. “We have a huge split between on the one hand the antivax, who today have really freed their speech and can have quite aggressive speeches, and the provax, who also had a very aggressive speech and who are now a little terrified”, explains Benjamin Garel, general manager of the Martinique CHU. On October 15, violent clashes between anti-vaccine and police in front of the hospital. Only 20% of CHU staff are vaccinated.
