Vaccine pass: the reactions of the French following the shocking remarks of Emmanuel Macron

At a interview, Emmanuel Macron declared “want to piss off the unvaccinated“. In Orleans (Loiret), city where many voters voted for Emmanuel Macron, the words are difficult to pass. “I thought he was more literate (…) and then I think we have to respect everyone’s decisions“, judge an Orléanaise. “I was not supposed to go and vote, but in the end, I’m going to go and vote. I’m mad, retorts a passerby. Nonetheless, some applaud the president’s honesty.

When questioned, a man admits not being vaccinated, and it is not the president’s words that will change his mind. But at the Orleans hospital, there are only three beds available in intensive care. The medical staff are very clear: more firmness on vaccination is needed. The president, will he succeed in convincing those resistant to vaccination?
