It is therefore a war. And to win this interminable battle against COVID-19, including the last Omicron variant displays fading contagulating rates forcing some of our neighbors to reconfirm their population, Emmanuel Macron is ready to open a new front. By announcing, on Friday, December 17, that the Government would table on 5 January a bill to transform the “passenger pass” into “vaccinal pass”, the Prime Minister, Jean Castex admitted: a fight committed to try To bend the approximately 5 million French people eligible for vaccination that always refuse to act.
