The vaccine passport was adopted by the French government in January 2022 after a bill passed by parliament turned the so-called 'health pass' into a full-blown vaccine passport.
In the Netherlands, implementing a health pass at the very moment when both ‘cases’ and ‘deaths’ are marginal is an evident sign of the government’s desire to control the population.
Among the slogans that flourished on Saturday in so many French towns, 'Macron, step down!' was a major hit. Home-made placards talked about tyranny, the 'Nazitary pass,' and the defense of 'our rights.'
'Vaccination is not yet mandatory for everyone, but we're going to extend the sanitary pass as much as possible to push as many of you as possible to get vaccinated,' President Emmanuel Macron said, while also explicitly refusing to rule out compulsory vaccination for all French people.
