The spokesperson for the French government, Gabriel Attal has defended President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on unvaccinated in the country, where he asked “Who is screwing whose life today?” AFP reports.
According to the report by AFP, the statement by the French spokesperson Gabriel Attal is coming a day after Emmanuel Macron made the shocking remark in an interview, in which he vowed to continue to “piss off” the unvaccinated.
Gabriel Attal at the end of his weekly press briefing, had asked that .”..who is wasting the lives of our caregivers who for two years have been mobilized, underwater, in our intensive care units, to save patients who today are essentially unvaccinated?”
“These are the ones who oppose the vaccine.”
“Who ruins the lives of our traders, our restaurateurs, our theatres, our cinemas, who for two years have lived with a sword of Damocles over their heads when they are not closed?” he continued. “They are those who oppose the vaccine. Who is wasting the lives of our elderly, forced to live in solitude, years in fear in the face of an epidemic?” Gabriel Attal asked.
AFP reported that for Gabriel Attal, “the words of the President of the Republic” are “very below the anger of a very large majority of French people facing this choice which is to oppose the vaccine”. However, they aroused almost unanimous disapproval of the opposition.
“Responsibility is also to take the necessary measures to protect all French people,” said Gabriel Attal. “And sometimes to protect certain French people, including against themselves. And we will continue to assume this responsibility, as the president said this morning: we act, we explain and we assume.”
Emmanuel Macron’s Remarks On Unvaccinated:
Emmanuel Macron had Tuesday in an interview attacked the unvaccinated. He explained that he “really wants to piss them off” and justifies the vaccination pass.
AFP reported that Macron in an interview given to Le Parisien on Tuesday, charged people who are still not vaccinated against Covid-19, some of whom by deliberate choice.
“Me, I’m not for pissing off the French. I plague all day against the administration when it blocks them. Well, the unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off,” says Emmanuel Macron. “So we will continue to do it, until the end, that’s the strategy”, he said.
To this end, the president assured that he does not want to put those concerned “in prison”, but wishes to deprive them of certain activities in the long term. “I am not going to put them in prison, I am not going to forcibly vaccinate them. And so, we must tell them: from January 15, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant, you will no longer be able to take a cannon , you You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theatre, you will no longer be able to go to the movies, ”he explains.
Macron Labelled The Antivax ‘Irresponsible’
He also widely criticizes antivaxes for their role in the tensions that exist on the subject. “The very fact that we ask the question of refusal of care for unvaccinated people is a strange virus. And that is the immense moral fault of antivax: they come to undermine what is the solidity of “a nation. When my freedom threatens that of others, I become irresponsible.
An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen,” he continues.
However, he refuses to consider preventing the unvaccinated from having access to the same care as others, especially with regard to resuscitation services. “You cannot place caregivers in the face of this. Because a caregiver looks at someone who is sick and he does not look at where he comes from, what he is,” emphasizes Emmanuel Macron.
