on the so-called "scientific expertise" of Emmanuel Macron

,

"The president has acquired real expertise in health matters (...) This is not an inaccessible subject for an intelligence like his and in view of the significant time he has been devoting to it for several months", said the minister.

"When Google does not find something, it asks Emmanuel Macron"

The hashtag #EmmanuelMacronFacts, created on Tuesday, thus ranked at the top of trending topics on Twitter, that is to say the most commented on the social network.

Macron "thinks he is the champion of global epidemiology" but "he is not scientific"

The praise made on the "intellectual capacities" of the Head of State made some scientists laugh much less, and the elected representatives of the opposition.

Emmanuel Macron "thinks he is the champion of global epidemiology", but "he is not a scientist, he did not listen to the recommendations of the Scientific Council", tackled the boss of the PS Senators Patrick Kanner, in wondering: "can our collective fate depend on a single man?

".

"We must put an end to the king miracle worker", added the first secretary of the PS Olivier Faure, urging to act to "curb the virus, and accelerate the vaccination", instead of "procrastinate".

"The problem is that the president for a year has concentrated all the powers and that nobody understands his policy: we do not know where we are going", for his part denounced Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, president of Debout la France.

On the eve of yet another defense council announced as decisive, the health situation in France is considered very critical: the emergency services have exceeded the peak of the second wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, the virus continues to progress in many regions and the vaccination campaign is considered too slow to change the situation.
