The debate on compulsory vaccination is currently raging in France, in front of the fear of a new wave of Covid-19.
The number of vaccinations seems to have reached a ceiling.
And the public authorities are wondering about the most effective way to convince people hostile or reluctant to vaccination.

In
the Netherlands
, we remember that at the beginning of 2021, the country was shaken by riots on the sidelines of anti-sanitary measures demonstrations. Violence in the big cities, but also in the very conservative region of the Bible belt. There, a Covid-19 testing center was set on fire, another targeted by the explosion of a homemade device, and journalists were even attacked in front of churches. In question, a strong mistrust towards the authorities and a taboo vaccination in many Protestant communities. Except that recently, faced with the threat of Covid-19, things have changed and some believers in the region are increasingly considering getting vaccinated. In the belt of the Bible, the report by
Antoine Mouteau
.
The
Russian
, very touched by the Covid-19, did not vaccinate enough.
The country is currently registering new death records every day.
But the mistrust is too strong.
The explanations of
Jean Cassey.
The European Court of Human Rights considers compulsory vaccination "necessary" in a democracy.
This is not a case related to the Covid vaccination, but this decision could have repercussions.
In the
Czech Republic
, anti-vaccine parents seized the Strasbourg court in April 2021 because they felt that their children who had not been vaccinated against childhood diseases could not be refused enrollment in kindergarten.
