Friday February 19, 2021, through a short speech broadcast on Twitter, Emmanuel Macron – who would have gained weight – appealed. The President of the Republic wishes to help Africa by offering, in a collegial manner with the rest of Europe and the United States, several million doses intended for African healthcare workers. The Head of State accompanies this video with a symbolic text. "The African continent needs to immunize all its caregivers to allow its health system to resist. I appeal: Europeans, Americans, we can provide Africa with the 13 million doses of vaccines needed. Let's be united, let's be efficient", can we read. The vaccination campaign in France took a long time to start and if it is now defended by Olivier Véran as well as many personalities, like Amanda Lear or Line Renaud who have publicly shown their support, the French do not yet know if there will be enough doses for everyone in 2021.
Internet users divided following Emmanuel Macron's announcement
During this G7, Emmanuel Macron specified that it was, more precisely, to transfer 3 to 5% of the vaccines against the Covid-19 available in stock. "(That) will have no impact on the pace of the vaccination strategy ", he told the British daily on Financial Times. However, President Macron's speech divided Internet users on Twitter. Many wonder why Africa is so privileged to the detriment of France. "What is your obsession with Africa? Did someone come to your door whining? "," We're talking about Africa, wake up, it is the continent least affected by Covid-19. Already the need for the vaccine is a subject of debate in the most affected countries so this vaccine … ". Others however welcome the gesture proposed by Emmanuel Macron: "I am for mutual aid between the richest countries and the poorest countries in this situation. It's a nice gesture of the president, hoping that the other heads of state follow suit ","The rest of the world must be vaccinated in which case the pandemic will not end. It's obvious logic but not understood enoughThe thirteen million doses should be given gradually.
