The Social Affairs Committee of the French Senate has introduced a bill making the Covid-19 vaccine mandatory for all French citizens from January 1st, 2022. If successful, this would make France the first country in the world to make the jabs compulsory for all citizens.

Over the past year, France has introduced strict Covid-19 clot-shot injections commands including making the jab compulsory for all health workers and introducing a vaccine passport, which is required to enter public spaces including restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and even hospitals. The restrictions have faced a significant amount of hostility, leading to much of the free-thinking French taking part in protests across the country.

The proposed vaccine mandate was introduced on October 4 by Senator Bernard Jomier. Senator Jomier, who introduced the bill. The member of the Socialist Party, along with his fellow senators had initially introduced the premise of a nationwide vaccine mandate to the French Senate on August 31st.

Through using a precedent that already requires inoculations against other diseases, the Senator has found a particularly sneaky and efficient way to force through the Covid shot mandate. Under Article L3111-1 f the public health Code there are currently 11 mandatory vaccines required for French citizens without medical exemptions. If passed, the Covid-19 vaccine would be added to the jab schedule.

Once the mandate comes into effect, those who fail to submit to the needle will face a fine of €135 under Article 519 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure and the fine could increase to as much as €1,500 for repeated offences if citizens do not submit to receiving the clot-shot.

Effective from September 15, the health worker vaccine mandate meant that more than 2.5 million people who work as hospital staff, paramedics, social care workers and private physicians were forced to comply and get jabbed. The same mandate also applied to firefighters across the country but it was met with significant resistance through organised labour strikes. At least 3,000 French healthcare workers have since been suspended for refusing to get the Covid jab.

The Senate of France not only ignores alternative treatments for Covid-19 that prove to be effective but also seek to restrict and impose upon the human rights of their citizens. If this mandate passes, it will only be a matter of time before other countries around the world follow suit.
