The mayor of Nice wants “zero tolerance” towards the unvaccinated, who “constitute a threat in our country”.
The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, wants “zero tolerance” for the unvaccinated, who “constitute a threat in our country”, saying he is in favor of strict confinement of the latter without them being able to touch the unemployment insurance, he said Thursday on RMC-BFMTV. “When we make society take such risks, we have to pay the price,” said the ex-LR councilor, who joined Edouard Philippe’s “Horizons” party in early December.
“I have always said it: the vaccinated do not have to pay for the non-vaccinated”, he continued, ensuring that he was “even in favor of the obligation of vaccination”.
“The vaccinated do not have to pay for the unvaccinated”
“Those who are not vaccinated should be confined to their homes under the same conditions as we were all confined in March and April 2020 and moreover should not have the right and access to unemployment insurance, such as Canada,” he pleaded. “Those who constitute a threat in our country to the activity, to the health of our fellow citizens, are those who remain in unacceptable postures”, further estimated the mayor of Nice, recalling that “antivax today represent 91% of those who are in intensive care or in conventional hospitalization”.

“Today our economy has held up, at the same time that we manage to manage a health system that is more or less in difficulty, because we have a vaccination rate that is higher than the average for all the other countries in the Union. European,” he added. Regarding the bill transforming the health pass into a vaccine pass, which the Senate voted on the night of Wednesday to Thursday at first reading, after having significantly modified it, Mr. Estrosi judged that these changes were “a very bad sign sent to antivax”.
He criticizes the senators for having “scavenged” by asking for the application of the pass only to those over 18 or when the number of hospitalizations linked to Covid-19 would be greater than 10,000 patients at the national level. “I simply say vaccine pass”, he said, because otherwise “we enter a derogatory system” and “everyone will say to themselves basically, we can do what we want”.
The Senate has also purely and simply abolished the possibility for the owners of bars, cafes and restaurants to carry out identity checks to ensure consistency with the vaccination pass. “I do not understand this posture”, reacted the mayor of Nice: “If we support the economy today, it is precisely thanks” to the health pass and the owners of restaurants, establishments, shops are the first to “say thank you for having set up this means”.
