This text 2 of the “well being watch and safety” invoice was rejected by 219 votes to 195.
After its abolition by the deputies, the well being cross on the borders ought to nonetheless make its comeback within the Senate which can look at the invoice subsequent week. Through the listening to of the Minister of Well being, the LR rapporteur of the textual content, Philippe Bas, hinted on the building of a brand new article 2.
“Does the well being cross shield? The reply isn’t any.”
Philippe Bas (quaestor of the Senate), nonetheless, nonetheless believes that the journey certificates is a assure of “not being contaminated or contagious” in his interview with Public Senate, which is complicated to say the least in July 2022…. (video 1 min 20)
Nevertheless, the president of the Scientific Council, Jean-François Delfraissy had been heard by the Senate on the well being scenario on Wednesday, December 8, 2021. To the query of the president of the social affairs fee, the LR senator Catherine Deroche, on the curiosity of the well being cross, his reply was clear: “now that we all know that vaccinated individuals contaminate (…) Does the cross actually shield? You’ve the reply. The reply isn’t any”.
A majority of French individuals have understood that neither the vaccination nor the detrimental take a look at are ensures towards carrying, replicating or transmitting the virus.
As for Bruno Retailleau, the pinnacle of the LR group, after having agreed on June 22 on LCI that “the cross was not helpful” and that he had taken his group on board finally on the vote, he says he’s once more in favor!
What does Article 2 present?
The manager will likely be ready, by easy decree till 2023, to make journey to or from abroad territories and departments in addition to Corsica, conditional on the presentation of a detrimental take a look at for Covid-19, a vaccination cross or a certificates of restoration. If this text had been to be adopted, it might represent, in response to 10 LR senators who printed a tribune, a breach of equality between French residents in response to their place of residence. Residents residing within the Republic’s abroad territories can be stigmatized and ostracized. If this text had been to be adopted, it might actually make vaccination obligatory for personnel working within the transport companies involved.
Lastly, opposite to what the federal government desires, restrictions on motion and freedom should not be adopted by decree, with out being submitted to a vote of Parliament. Parliament is the guarantor of public liberties and, as such, it can’t delegate this supreme prerogative to the federal government by way of a clean cheque when the present circumstances don’t justify it. Parliament has at all times been in a position to react shortly and effectively when circumstances require it.
Greater than ever hooked up to public liberties, these 10 LR senators launch a solemn attraction to all their colleagues within the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate to acquire the suppression of this invoice.
Sanitary cross: what scientific observations?
Quite a few scientific observations and publications present that this cross is essentially poor
On the degree of French hospitals, information from Santé Publique France present that between November 2021 and April 2022, neither nosocomial infections nor COVID affecting caregivers have stopped, regardless of necessary vaccination and the expensive cross (60 million euros per 30 days in response to the French Hospital Federation) managed on the entrances of the institutions. If the origin of the nosocomial outbreak is recognized, it’s largely a affected person, however guests (13% vs. 9%) are extra ceaselessly talked about… proof that the cross is a decoy.
As COVID is a zoonotic illness, it has been proven, for instance, that the outbreak in Hong Kong was brought on by the importation of contaminated hamsters from the Netherlands by way of a pet store that imported pets in January 2022. SARS-CoV-2 infects dozens of untamed and home species that may cross borders with out a well being cross.
As well as, throughout festivals in July 2021 in Catalonia, regardless of the assessments, a big proportion of vaccinated individuals and the sporting of masks, scientists had been in a position to determine large contaminations. Thus, 757 and 662 individuals for the primary and second pageant respectively had been contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 and reported to the central well being register of the Catalan well being system.
Lastly, on the degree of worldwide vacationers, SARS-CoV-2 testing of airplane wastewater reveals that necessary testing and vaccination cross earlier than boarding didn’t stop large importation of the Omicron variant into Europe in a French pre-published examine.
In Norway, one of many first Omicron tremendous propagating occasions occurred amongst contributors, all absolutely vaccinated and all examined detrimental earlier than a Christmas meal in Oslo!
The scientific information, the opinions of Pr Delfraissy can be found however, it appears, not dropped at the information of some senators and deputies? Or does political logic take over?
Many French individuals have understood for a very long time. And the distrust in direction of politicians is just getting stronger.
