France Will Require Vaccine Passports for Everyday Life; If You Get Caught in a Cafe or Restaurant Without One, You Can Be Prosecuted and Sent to Prison

Coming soon to a fascist country near you.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that COVID-19 vaccine passports would soon be required for people to visit nonessential places like restaurants and tourist attractions.

Macron said the new policy would start in August, Agence France-Presse reported, citing Macron's televised address.

The country will be using a "health passport" program in which people can share a QR code or certificate with establishments to show they are vaccinated against COVID-19, recently recovered from the virus, or have had a recent negative COVID-19 test.

"If we do not act today, the number of cases will continue to increase," Macron said in the address, according to France 24.

...

Just over 36% of France's population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

There were 1,260 new coronavirus cases in the country on Monday, France 24 reported.

And yes, you'll go to jail if you attempt to live a normal life without your internal passport.

People unable to present a valid health pass risk up to six months in prison and a fine of up to €10,000 (£8,500), according to the draft text of the law, while owners of "establishments welcoming the public" who fail to check patrons' passes could go to jail for a year and be hit with a €45,000 fine.

Noted Authoritarianism-Supporting Anti-Authoritarian AllahPundit just came in his pants.

People are asking, what about children who are too young to safely get vaccinated?

While 66% of French adults have received one dose and 53% are fully vaccinated, the number of first doses being administered had, in common with many western countries, started slowing as the campaign came up against more vaccine-hesitant or hard-to-reach groups.

Note that that number is very different from that reported in the first article.

Boy, those French sure love watching Tucker Carlson, huh?

Two vaccine centers were "ransacked" in protest of the new fascist laws.

Vandals broke into the vaccination centre in the village of Lans-en-Vercors, near Grenoble in eastern France, on Friday night. They flooded the site using fire hoses and ransacked syringes and other equipment, according to local paper Le Dauphine' libe're'.

Anti-vaccine graffiti was found painted on the building, according to AFP, including "1940", "Vaccine = genocide", and the Cross of Lorraine, a symbol used by the French Resistance during the Second World War. The vaccination centre has since been moved to another site in the village.

On Sunday morning, a fire damaged the temporary vaccination centre in Urrugne in south-west France, near the Spanish border. The fire is being treated as arson, prosecutor Jerome Bourrier in the local town of Bayonne wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

Yes, this was known at least back as far as Oct 2020. It was on the slide deck that the FDA pushed out, where the presenter skipped over the slide, but Barnhardt captured the screenshot of it. All of the major vax side effects you hear about now were listed back then.

45 I expect this to be an unpopular position, but I think there ARE times when the government has to be able to make you get vaccinated. For example, if a highly transmissible form of Ebola developed in the US, people should not be allowed to refuse a vaccine because the consequences are so dire. Covid is not such a case, however admittedly it's a judgement call. If the government forces such a thing, and the people conclude that it wasn't necessary, then they (the government) must pay a steep price.

54 Had to show my vaccine passport just this morning to enter the outside door to a three story office building. Required to put the card up to a camera by the door and the door would only be unlocked once the receptionist was able to confirm that it looked real. Think most everybody was still remote working because once inside I saw her, the man escorting me, and one other office worker way down at the other end of the third floor. Utter insanity because almost nobody was there, plus I only needed to get up on the roof where there really was nobody else working.

Look, you ignorant dipshit. The number of cases will always and only increase. It's called "addition". Like the regular flu, year after year after year.

But "cases" are not necessarily "fatalities". In fact, the vast majority aren't. "Cases" may not even be "sniffles", you hack imbecile.

FYI - if Ebola kept all of its present characteristics plus was more highly communicable - it would still end up the same way because the virus doesn't spread when the host dies. You would need to have a third party agent for transmission / communication that is relatively immune to the virus - like rats and biting insects.

137 Yes, this was known at least back as far as Oct 2020. It was on the slide deck that the FDA pushed out, where the presenter skipped over the slide, but Barnhardt captured the screenshot of it. All of the major vax side effects you hear about now were listed back then.


I found a document-- maybe the one screenshot by Ann Barnhardt-- well before the "vaccine" came out that listed everything as a possible side effect. It's probably memory holed now.

Less than a year later, all of those "possible" side effects have become actual side effects. Including death. Almost 11,000 listed as dead by vaxx on VAERS; the number is probably much, much higher.

170 We should put anti vaxxers in jail or re-education camps where they can't infect others.

The vaxxed can get COVID. The vaxxed can spread COVID. So how can you prove that the un-vaxxed are spreading it?

Or, to put it another way, perhaps that unvaxxed need to stay away from the vaxxed, who now make up the majority of COVID deaths in both the UK and Israel.

Do you hear yourself? If it is certain death then you would not need a mandate.

As for kids, I think if there is serious risk to them (like polio for example,) most parents will line up for a vaccine. Maybe 0.0001% will not, and to preserve liberty we have to accept that.

You are talking like a child applying hypothetical to impossible situations.

Posted by: pep at July 20, 2021 03:43 PM (ZsR3z)

Your argument is breaking apart in real time. If the disease is actually dangerous, then -I- will be the one wearing the exosuit. Hell, I'd get the vaccine. And so would everyone else. .

But if you have to mandate it and suppress all dissent, then it's a sign you're lying about it. Even now, at the current peak of China Flu Hysteria, the government does not mandate injections of children. Perhaps they realize that if they take your tack, there will be dead cops and dead parents in every state. At least a few governors would be dangling from cages with their guts hanging out.

You are responsible to save yourself. If the vaccine is less than 100% effective against lethal disease, you need to protect yourself as far as possible. But you don't have the right to tie people to your shoddy reasoning. (Which is still more sound than anything coming out of Fauci Inc.)

Look, I understand OPSEC. I understand keeping Ace's place out of sight of the Stasi. But this relentless dismissal of anyone who tries to raise a discussion about what can be done - and frankly, at this point (go ahead, flame me) I think only a massive and / or violent response will change anything - does more harm than good. It feeds into the perception that nothing can be done because anyone who does try something will have no support from their purported allies.

248 From the last thread, but appropriate:

505 I'm sorry to say I don't believe the vaccine is about keeping people healthy or even preventing COVID. If governments wanted people to get well, they would be touring HCQ/zinc, ivermectin and talking about acquired immunity. FYI, the latter has disappeared from modern medicine. The only way to herd immunity now is through vaccination.

Agreed 100 percent! They KNOW Vitamin D helps combat the virus, yet they insist on lockdowns which keep people inside...which leads to D deficiencies! It enrages me that physicians and scientists have thrown away all logic, reason, facts, and thousands of years of hard-won scientific knowledge to be the standard bearers for a corrupt government or world order.

249 Even now, at the current peak of China Flu Hysteria, the government does not mandate injections of children.

Because they know that they can brainwash the children into embracing Communism. Its the adults who are outside of their control that remain the threat and must be euthanized vaccinated.

Part of the problem is that a lot of nationalists are waiting for the general uprising to act, preferably as part of a large mob. In an era of intense social control, they are as likely to call someone a "fed" as to say "Right on!"

But they obviously don't care about public health (sending elderly people into Covid-infested nursing homes, for one).

Why else? Because they just can't resist inciting fear and panic and seizing more and more control of citizen life and commerce?

And yes - you did hit the nail on the head for some. As well as a late post on the last thread. I'll break it down easier - for some, as long as the store shelves are partly stocked, they'd appreciate it if the rabble rousers just shut the fuck up.

325 The Founders found government to be a necessary evil, and strived to
limit it. Government is a monster determined to grow and grow until it
takes everything over. This is why regular bloody revolution is
necessary to reign it back in and kill it back.

The Second Amendment would like to have a word with your contention that a free people don't have the right to act as death vector to tyranny.

If your governmental edict requires ultimately coercive force, you deserve all the vectors you sow.

Nukes and bioweapons have been the Unholy Grail of terrorists for decades, so why don't they have them? Because they are profoundly expensive to design, develop, manufacture and deploy. It isn't something that you and your kid could whip up in the kitchen or garage over the weekend.

Why didn't Kamala get quarantined after her exposure to icky covid infectees?

Why are conservatives happy to let the government MANDATE a vaccine? Slippery slope, folks, slippery slope. And please do not use the childhood immunization vaccines are your argument FOR because one of the great arguments AGAINST is that according to today's vaccine schedules, children are getting dozens more vaccines than ever before in history.

But please be aware that violent solutions also have a window of opportunity and that window can be closing on us. It is quite possible to try out all available non-violent solutions, have them all fail, and finally choose "violence as a last resort" only to discover that it's too late for even that to work.

400 the real issue here is that they have thrown science out the window.

The vaccine is not necessary, not tested, and has side effects which may very well be devastating to the young in 30 or 40 years when their heart valves start to fail from old scar tissue (which is how my dad died - from the effects of a 40 year old rheumatic fever infection.)

Masks are useless except for spittle and coughing (I have studied particle physics for semiconductor manufacturing) and the lockdowns were an obvious disaster 14 months ago but they keep at it.

As said above, this is about control AND MONEY.

As for that one, if the Israeli and UK data are to be believed, it appears that the length of time for the effect is fairly small - a few months. The Israelis and the Brits - who have had very aggressive vax distribution and tracking - seem to be showing that the shots work but that their effective duration is fairly brief.

409 Agreed 100 percent! They KNOW Vitamin D helps combat the virus, yet they insist on lockdowns which keep people inside...which leads to D deficiencies! It enrages me that physicians and scientists have thrown away all logic, reason, facts, and thousands of years of hard-won scientific knowledge to be the standard bearers for a corrupt government or world order.

Easy - but this is where it gets uncomfortable, to steal a line from the Sopranos. Remember, pre Covid, how those Anti Vaxxers were mocked here ? Because those were good vaxxes and why did these Hollywood bitches think their kids were too good to take the same shots as our kids ?

We can't be passive. The inertia will suffocate us. We could be supporting more FOIA, identifying Google Execs and challenging them in public venues, etc.

I get what you are saying, and it IS wise, but if we fall back to waiting we will discover that when our moment comes, our ranks will have evaporated. And those that remain will console themselves with "aw shucks I guess nothing can be done then..."

ie. the usual Conservative Prevent Defense that can't find the Will to rally in the 4th Quarter. We've seen this dynamic play out in athletic conflicts - the team that has been Meh for 58 mins does not suddenly find the morale and energy to score 3 touchdowns in the final 2 minutes.

424 If vaccine benefits prove to be short lived then it will all the more support Zek's initial Plan for the Pandemic:
1. Protect the vulnerable
2. Strong research and public health messaging to optimize the health of everyone else: lose weight, better diet, zinc, D, exercise
3. Distribute and promote any/all therapeutics for off label use with credible anecdotal evidence of benefit and low downside (Ivermectin, Hydroxy, etc)
4. Let er rip through the rest of the population

427 The biggest gripe I have about the vaccine push - and I think someone else pointed it out above - is that it isn't needed. We have found *very* good therapeutic processes for this. Maintaining good Vitamin-D levels seems to help on its own (which is unsurprising - VitD is good for the immune system). HCQ+Zinc seems to work reasonably well if you hit it early. Ivermectin works extremely well, including for later responses. Ivermectin+VitD works even better. Ivermectin also appears to provide some prophylactic benefit.

We have treatments for this that are cheap, effective, safe and reduce hospitalizations and deaths to extremely low levels. We don't *need* a vaccine, even if it works and is safe. It just doesn't seem to be a necessary step in the context of our very good treatment options.

429 So, what I want to know is why nations with much more government-controlled health care systems are lagging behind the USA, with our 50-state public health patchwork and our supposedly retrograde health care financing/insurance. Canada and Europe are offered up all the time by the lib-progs as having such better health care, yet they've been lagging way behind us in vaxxing.

They also have far fewer ICU resources that we do.

Hmmmm...
Posted by: The Real Dr. Mabuse at July 20, 2021 03:43 PM (ViC0A)

While I yield to no one on disliking the EU, the main impetus in the vaccination problems is the EU bullied everyone into letting them make the deal for all the nations. Then they slow rolled it and fucked it up.

So for months and months their response was to try and steal doses bought by other nations that didn't fuck up, like England, and badmouth the vaccinations they were trying to steal as no good anyway.

Western institutions, both public and private, are governed by a managerial class comprised of midwits. These are people who are smart enough to become overcredentialed and to rise up within the confines of the bureaucracy. They can work well in environments where there are order, structure, and rules. They don't operate well outside those confines. Situations which have no good options, require creative thinking, or involved a significant amount of risk tend to cause them to panic. They latched onto masks, lockdowns, and vaccinations because they were simple solutions, with simple implementations and, 1/
