On Wednesday January 5, 2022, while the examination of the current vaccine pass bill is debated, Martin Blachier reaffirmed his opposition to the vaccine pass on his Twitter page.
As the fifth wave sweeps everything in its path, with 20,688 hospitalized patients of which 3,695 in critical care this Wednesday, January 5, the government, fixed on the vaccination pass, is slow to take additional measures to curb the spread. The majority of deputies opposing the vaccination pass, the debates on the subject were postponed for the first time Monday, January 3, then again today, following the controversial remarks of Emmanuel Macron. “Examination of the text in the Senate instituting the vaccine pass, bogged down since Monday in the National Assembly, has been postponed until next week, mortgaging the entry into force of the law on January 15“, details BFMTV.
A date far too late for Dr. Martin Blachier. “Knowing the time it takes after the 2 injections to protect the last unvaccinated and trends / projections in intensive care, the vaccination pass on January 15 will arrive too late“, writes the one who regularly invited on television sets to deliver his expertise on the health crisis, on his Twitter account. Opposed to the vaccine pass, he adds that need “to let down” before concluding with these words: “The best is the enemy of good.” On several occasions, Martin Blachier has claimed that the Omicron variant was benign for the vaccinated population although he presents strong contagiousness. “Freedom must once again become our primary value “, he had then claimed.
Knowing the time it takes after the 2 injections to protect the last unvaccinated and the trends / projections in intensive care, the vaccination pass on January 15 will arrive too late.
We must let it go!

Doctor Martin Blachier at the center of criticism
Since the start of the health crisis, Martin Blachier has toured the television sets. A nascent notoriety which has its advantages and disadvantages. Of a very strong opinion on the situation, the doctor does not hesitate to go against government statements. “The Omicron apocalypse will not take place”, he said then that the Minister of Health showed little reassurance in the face the explosion of Covid-19 cases. Assertive words that are not to everyone’s taste. “I saw a lot of people on social networks who hit me on each of my interventions. But it’s also the game“, confided Martin Blachier in the columns of TV-Leisure, Wednesday December 22.
