ANALYSIS
(LifeSiteNews) – Jean Lassalle, a French politician and former candidate for president, blamed the COVID shot for having seriously damaged his heart. During a lengthy video talk with the dissident Chinese media NTD, Lassalle also alleged that many government officials in France, including President Emmanuel Macron, as well as figures such as Vladimir Putin, never got the jab.
Lassalle has decided to take a break from politics after his latest term in the French National Assembly, aiming to make a come-back during the next presidential campaign in 2027, but he is more outspoken than ever about the present situation.
Speaking of the present healthcare crisis in France, which has led to a severe dearth of doctors and medical specialists in rural areas, Lassalle said:
And those vaccines! I didn’t have COVID, but I got the Johnson vaccine and it almost killed me; it distorted my heart, I’ve had four operations since January 3rd of this year.
The Chinese woman who was interviewing him listened open-mouthed, asking him why he had “taken the risk” of getting the jab.
Lassalle replied that he got the jab because he “didn’t want to give the impression” that he was not doing his work as a member of Parliament (although the jab was never mandatory for government and for the legislators). “But I didn’t know that Emmanuel Macron was not vaccinated, as well as most government members. And I didn’t know that a large member of my colleagues weren’t either,” he said, adding: “I wanted to give an example – but please, don’t imitate me.”
“It was the time when Macron, and Boris Johnson, and – there wasn’t a war yet – and the president of Russia, Putin, stuck out their white arms, and were given an injection to push everyone to take the vaccine. I didn’t do it for that reason; I did it because I thought, I’m relatively well-known, this way people will see what happens to me… If I die or become ill, people will see it’s not good. And I did indeed fall ill during the presidential campaign, but no-one listened. They wanted to shut me up when I said that,” he said, stressing that his side-effects from the COVID jab were “severe.” “Oh, I nearly died. But I didn’t get COVID,” he stated with due irony.
Those vaccines were “not sufficiently mastered,” and they were “sent into the genome of which we know little as yet,” said Lassalle. “We’re not talking about Pasteur’s vaccine against rabies.”
Asked whether his case has been formally acknowledged by doctors, Lassalle replied: “Not at all. However, some doctors did tell me; but they can’t speak out because then they’re done for. With this COVID business, I don’t know how many hundreds of doctors were suspended because they didn’t share the [official] point of view; and thousands of nurses, even though we need them so badly. We have devastated the whole body of healthcare personnel.”
Lassalle recalled that the population was “masked,” and then “reduced to silence:” “We could say nothing, we had to accept.” According to Lassalle, the reason for this “worldwide” situation is “an insidious evil: finance.”
Lassalle said he is reflecting on the major themes and problems of society and what he calls an attempt to “destroy civilization.”
During his parliamentary mandates from 2002 to 2022, Lassalle joined center-right and regionalist groups; he voted against “same-sex marriage” and opposed artificial procreation for single women and lesbian couples. He also consistently voted against COVID restrictions.
Lassalle is a notable figure in the French political landscape. At age 67, his craggy face and rocky regional accent are familiar to all, well beyond his own “weight” in national politics. Lassalle epitomizes the traditional shepherd and countryman of south-western France, hailing from a small village at the foot of the Pyrenees some 80 kilometers to the west of Lourdes. His truculent stories describing farcical episodes of his early years as mayor of his native village have made him a YouTube favorite. He reached seventh place (out of 11) during the first round of the recent presidential election last April, obtaining more than 3 percent of the vote.
The French mainstream media has done its best to “debunk” Lassalle’s latest allegations, insisting that he has brought no proof of the link between his heart disease and the Johnson jab that he received in July of last year, followed by a Moderna booster.
And the same goes, they say, for his comments on Macron, Putin, and others; however, his story is slowly making progress both nationally and internationally, after months of relative silence regarding his slamming of the French government’s “vaccine” policy which began earlier this year.
As early as February 2022, Lassalle was already telling the media that some of his doctors wondered whether the COVID jab had not “damaged” his heart. What started out as a question soon became a conviction: by May, after his run as presidential candidate for his “Résistons” movement (“Let’s resist”), Lassalle posted a short video in which he claimed that after the fourth heart operation that he had recently undergone, and which he concluded with the words: “The problem was the result of the Johnson vaccine.”

Lassalle’s insistence on this point has slowly forced the mainstream media to sit up and take notice. The official press has started to publish refutations to his statements, noting that they were made to a media that has its home base in the U.S. and that has ties with the “Falun Gong” spiritual movement in China (one of the persecuted minority religions in the officially communist nation). NTD is presented as a spreader of “fake news.”
In its article on Lassalle, the major television station TF1 said that “cardiovascular disease is unfortunately commonplace in France,” implying that Lassalle cannot call the COVID jab responsible for his illness and operation with any kind of certainty. “While it is impossible to say he’s wrong without having access to his medical files, we should note that during the interview, he did not offer any details that could justify the alleged role of the vaccine,” the article stated. It also underscored the “vagueness” of Lassalle’s suggestion that Macron and his peers never actually got the COVID jab.
It is true that NTD did not challenge Lassalle’s words but they are serious enough to be taken into account. The mainstream media’s main concern appears to be to brush them aside.
