The French President Emmanuel Macron (44) is determined in the fight against corona vaccination refusers. In an interview published on Tuesday with the newspaper “Le Parisien”, the head of state said he would annoy unvaccinated people “to the bitter end” by restricting them as much as possible “access to the activities of social life”.
“I really want to annoy the unvaccinated,” added Macron. That is why his government will continue to do so “until the bitter end. That is the strategy. “
Uli Hoeness: «Consistently exclude vaccine opponents»
Uli Hoeness (70), honorary president of FC Bayern Munich, has a strong aversion to vaccination opponents. He would exclude them even more from social life. “I can be quite militant if someone does not get vaccinated,” said the long-time maker of the German soccer record champions in an interview with “Zeit”.
He recently broke off a private evening after learning that a teammate was unvaccinated. “I think you have to systematically exclude these people because it is quite inconsiderate not to be vaccinated,” said Hoeness. Nevertheless, he does not believe in a general obligation, “that would divide society even more”.

New vaccination certificate
A bitter dispute is currently going on in the French parliament about the introduction of a corona vaccination pass. The French opposition surprisingly delayed the project on Tuesday.
The new passport is intended to increase the pressure on unvaccinated people to be vaccinated against the coronavirus after all. Many places in public life will in future only be accessible to those who have been fully vaccinated and recovered, including restaurants, shopping centers and cinemas.
Unvaccinated people fill intensive care units
In France, the corona incidence is currently more than 1,600 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week. A good 3,600 Covid-19 patients are in the intensive care unit, about ten percent more than in the previous week. About 80 percent of them are not vaccinated. On Tuesday evening, the health authorities reported a new daily high of new infections of more than 270,000.

In the interview with “Le Parisien” Macron also commented on his possible presidential candidacy for the April election. Macron said he was “in the mood” to run as a presidential candidate. “The decision is solidifying inside me,” he added. “I have to be sure that I am able to go as far as I want.” (AFP / kes)
