Vaccine pass: those professionals who refuse the third dose

A new obligation difficult to swallow for these professionals.

On the sidelines of Prime Minister Jean Castex's visit to Le Mans, in Sarthe, professionals gathered to show their opposition to being injected with a third dose of anti-Covid-19 vaccine, mandatory from January 30 for caregivers and firefighters.

A measure that the Minister of Health Olivier Véran announced this morning, the day after the announcement of new health restrictions.

But for some opponents of vaccination, this measure by Olivier Véran provoked outrage.

Europe 1 went to meet them.

"On January 30, I am going to give up my job", thunders first Julie, nurse, who refuses the booster dose in the face of Covid-19.

Beside her is Nathalie, a former children's animator since she was asked to be vaccinated.

"I was told 'You refuse, you will be suspended'.

I went on sick leave because I suffered a lot of psychological pressure, "she said at the microphone of Europe 1.

Changing your way of life

The former host even decided to withdraw her two children from college and teach them at home, to get away from this pressure. Thierry is also already subject to residence. "When you don't have the pass, what can you do? You can't go to a restaurant, you can't go to the cinema. There are plenty of things that are forbidden to us", he regrets, saying that in the next few weeks, he will change his "way of life". "I was already working at home quietly. And then, if we want to party, we will do it between us", continues Thierry.

Le Manceau therefore shares radical and assumed ideas on vaccination with other opponents, such as a young woman who declares that this vaccination obligation is "a human tragedy, a democratic tragedy. Well, it is rape".

A sad comparison for rape victims.
