As of Monday, I, like millions of other people living in France, will officially be a second-class citizen. Going to a restaurant, a museum, a concert, a cinema, or a swimming pool, having a drink on a café terrace, boarding a fast train, or visiting a relative in hospital or a home for the elderly, will be allowed only to those who have been fully ‘vaccinated,’ who have recovered from COVID less than 6 months ago, or who can show a negative PCR or a genic test passed less than 48 hours ago.

Information regarding the citizen’s sanitary status will be included in a QR-code that must be scanned before entering. All of these restrictions on people’s liberties have just been validated by the Constitutional Council of France.

Some restaurants in the Vendée town of La Roche-sur-Yon made headlines by recruiting voluntary pensioners to ‘police’ potential customers. Owners of these establishments will incur a €1,500 fine for repeat offences, if they fail to check customers’ compliance with the sanitary pass law. Some are acquiring machines that will allow automatic checking at entry.

It is not only the unvaccinated who are fighting the new apartheid being introduced in France: many who decided to get the COVID so-called injection (it is not a vaccine) baulk at the idea of making ordinary, ‘everyday’ freedoms subject to vaccine status; essentially, this is what is happening.

Mandatory vaccination of health workers was approved by the members of France’s constitutional watchdog and most of the other edicts of legislation on the grounds that it does not constitute a general vaccine mandate for the population and that they will be applicable only until November 15, when the present ‘emergency sanitary law’ will expire.

But there are doubts about the bill’s temporary status: according to job descriptions circulating on social media, hospitals hiring temporary workers to control sanitary passes are offering one-year contracts.

The Constitutional Council’s decision is disappointing but not unexpected. It has never been known for its courage and it did not hesitate to greenlight the abortion law of 1975 and the same-sex ‘marriage’ bill in 2014. It is deeply political insofar as its members are installed and approved by the President and by the leaders of the National Assembly and the Senate, without control; it also includes former Presidents.

Opponents of the sanitary pass have remarked that the Court’s president, Laurent Fabius, was involved in the so-called ‘contaminated blood scandal’ which led to hundreds of people, including young haemophiliacs, getting AIDS because when he was socialist Prime Minister to François Mitterrand in 1985. His son, Victor Fabius, is a member of the McKinsey Advisory Council tasked with organising the COVID ‘vaccination’ campaign in France since last December.

The council’s members disregarded recommendations by legal groups trade unions who tried to stop the march towards a sanitary dictatorship.

Obtaining an invasive and painful nasal COVID test once every 48 hours to prove negativity,at the price of about €50 per test as of October, according to government plansamounts to obliging people to get the jab or lose their ordinary freedoms. As to contra-indications, health minister Olivier Véran has already said they will apply for only a few dozen people in France.

The forced vaccination of health workers, which has already led a number of hospitals and hospital unions to announce strikes as of this Friday was similarly greenlighted, in a context where the deputies and senators who asked for a revision of the law by the Council did not even dispute the mandatory vaccine in itself.

The Council’s near-complete approval of a law that has already pushed hundreds of thousands of opponents into the streets in the middle of summer,a situation unheard of in France. However, it will give an even greater impulse to the demonstrations that are continuing to flower all over France. If possible, this has made the French even angrier. Some 200 demonstrations will take place in many towns next Saturday for the fourth week running. Source
