2 Million French Scramble for Vax Appointments After Macron Pledges Crackdown on Freedoms
Victoria Friedman 14 Jul 2021
More than two million French people made an appointment for vaccination against the Chinese coronavirus after President Emmanuel Macron threatened to crack down on freedoms for the unvaccinated.
On Monday, Macron promised that in the coming months, Frenchmen will have to use vaccine passports to prove vaccination or natural immunity for everyday activities such as using public transport or going to restaurants as well as going to leisure venues like amusement parks or concerts. Healthcare workers must also be vaccinated.
Detailing the threats to remove the liberty of his citizens, Macron said: “Our choice is simple: to put the restrictions on the unvaccinated rather than on all.”
So eager were the French to comply that France’s online vaccination portal Doctolib.fr crashed after the president’s speech, with Le Parisien reporting on Wednesday that more than 1.3 million people had registered on the site on Tuesday alone, a new daily record.
Since the president made the announcement, 2.24 million in total have booked appointments.
