Excellent. Many people have lost all patience with those who have prolonged this pandemic and rightfully so.

Huh, who’d have thought it? When the unvaccinated are shunned from polite society, suddenly doing the right thing doesn’t seem as daunting.

But still infections on the rise and so hysteria continues. And now we have a new variant And so the madness continues

The entire WHO vaccination passport plan has been released:

Nonsense. No one is being forced to get vaccinated in France, or anywhere I know of. Get a grip.

If people wish to have freedoms like going to bars, cafes, restaurants, theaters and international travel, then get the jab and stop being cry babies.

Sounds good.

In any pre-2019 movie it would be portrayed only in a movie about a tyrannical dystopian future.

While it is interesting that you take your views from movies that are over two years old, I must remind you that the pandemic didn't exist at that time.

Some unvaccinated protesters have even worn large yellow stars, comparing themselves to persecuted Jews during World War II, a parallel that has been criticized by Holocaust survivors.

Send some tissues to France. The far right's level of victimhood shows how little they know about the realities of life for Jews and other persecuted peoples during WW2.

The historically and intellectually challenged, zero-compassion Kens and Karens of the world know no nationality, instead can be found in all countries around the globe.

Instead of wearing yellow stars, they should tattoo on their foreheads a giant S, signifying STUPID. or P for Pathetic.

What are you talking about? Most modern countries demand a lot more of having available or showing passports, any other papers , licenses and filled out paperworks on one single case, than Nazi Germany during its whole 12 years. lol

Why is this making so much noise ? France already has mandatory vaccination. What's the difference with not being able to to put your polio or tetanus unvaccinated child to school ?

Charge the venues that ask $5000 in the equivalent in Francs/Euros like Florida will do.

What? Dang, turn off the comments before people start flying off the wall and rightfully so.

I am fully vaccinated. All my friends too but not all family yet as the JP government is not good at sending out vouchers which should not be needed. What will happen for booster vouchers if you do not get one?

Stop serving coffee, tea, cola as well as chocolate because they all have caffeine and hyper activity effects and affectingly make people talk talk talk.

Viva La France

This a great example of how an authoritarian government can use carrot and stick tactics to get its population to comply and even support tyranny.

Good on the French

It's much better than what's happening to France before in their darkest days of Covid

The French people experienced the alternative - and they don't want to go back there again

It's easy for people who didn't experience those dark days to dismiss what the French people have experienced. They weren't there - they're away in their cozy homes
