What do the unvaccinated French think of Emmanuel Macron’s words?

A small part of the French population finds itself, Wednesday, January 5, at the center of attention: the 5.1 million French people eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine, who did not wish to receive an injection. In the morning, some discovered with surprise the virulent remarks of Emmanuel Macron against them. “I felt a bit assaulted“, confides a man, while a passer-by assures that she does not”Macron will not vote again“. “It’s a shock, because it discriminates against a population, it stigmatizes. I do not understand in fact, we are citizens who respect the laws of the Republic, but despite that we are put aside“, says a 29-year-old SNCF agent, skeptical of the vaccine.

Launched a year ago, the vaccination campaign has massively seduced the inhabitants of the territories of the North and East of France. In others, it was less strong. Juliet Castles, 19, still wants to wait before making up his mind. “I have done a lot of vaccines, I am not an antivax at all, I am not necessarily afraid of the vaccine, but I think that I do not necessarily need it since the government itself says it, the vaccine does not prevent transmission“, confides the young girl.
