Emmanuel Macron has once again endorsed the costume of a warlord. That of a President of the Republic determined not to remain the weapon at the end of the arrival announced by a fifth wave of CVIV-19, likely to sweep the efforts made after more than a year and a half of pandemic . But also that of a head of state already launched – although on the battle of the presidential campaign, where he could play, on April 10 and 24, 2022, his re-election.
During his speech by thirty minutes, broadcast Tuesday, November 9 at 8 pm on TF1 and LCI, Emmanuel Macron confessed with entry. Its goal is to answer questions, sometimes to worries, who are yours about our health, economic, social and geopolitical situation. ” Alternatively, the subject of the recovery of the Cvid-19 epidemic that strikes France, like its German and British neighbors, although inquisite, was not the main issue of this speech.
Admittedly, the head of state called the French to their duty of “responsibility” and “solidarity”, indicating that “we did not finish it with the pandemic”. “The 40% increase in one week of our incidence rate and the rise in hospitalizations are alert signals,” he explained, acting that the relaxation of the constraints (barrier gestures, wearing mask to School …) was no longer news.
Pedagogical and authoritarian at a time
It had to reconnect with a tone both pedagogical and authoritarian, enjoining the 6 million French people not yet vaccinated to do so, highlighting the dangerousness and sequelae of the disease. The President of the Republic also had to brandish the threat of a sanction to force over 65 years to make a booster dose. Six months after the last injection of the vaccine, the immunity of this age group as well as that of people with comorbidities diminish strongly. And despite an incentive campaign to this vaccinal reminder, only half of the eligible persons are now brought to the act.
As of December 15, the healthcare of the over 65 years will therefore be valid without this booster dose, warned the head of state. An injunction that, like that of July 12, announcing the installation of the sanitary pass, was enough to trigger a hundred thousand vaccinal appointments on Doctolib.
But if the COVID-19 still roams, the possession of the vaccine in sufficient quantity and the promise of access, by the beginning of next year, to an effective treatment against the serious forms of the disease allow Consider the future with some serenity. “We are facing a hedge that we do not know at this stage the height, but we have a conviction, we can cross it together,” said the government spokesman on 5 November, Gabriel Attal.
