This is such a waste of human life, at every single level you consider it - cynically or humanly.
(in a country suffering from a dissociative identity disorder, and near some Channel but not in FR or the UK)
Belgium ?
Macron in a speech from Tahiti (he is visiting Polynesia AFAIK) nailed the issue quite well.
As we say in French "ma liberté s'arrête là ou commence celle des autres".
Which mean
"My own individual freedom stops where others individual freedom begins".
One example: I should be free to drive at 150 miles per hour on Bordeaux crowded and dangerous motorway, so why are there radars and policemen all over the place ? Because of course I may kill people on top of killing myself while driving like an egoistical A-hole.
(note: this is the place where America and France vision of "invidual freedom" diverges severely. Something the French media will never, ever understand - facepalm.)
Well, the healthcare workers should think about this basic principle.
Do they want, on top of their own illness and possible death from the Delta Variant, lead their own patients and friends and family to illness and death ? - since they are on the frontline and at immense risk of getting contaminated ?
And thus that's why Macron imposed them mandatory vaccination. Whatever Macron flaws (and we all know what they are, and too many) this sounds like an evidence to me.
Yet the same healthcare workers are claiming loud and clear in the streets "hell no, we don't want the vaccine".
This is beyond me. Even trying
not to reason in black-and-white like a goddam fanatic / extremist - I can't see any shade of grey making this decision understandable.
Those people are suicidal or in denial.
I can understand that ordinary citizens are protesting mandatory vaccines if they are to be traded against things like "going anywhere outside home". But healthcare workers ? WTH ?
