France to Scrap Vaccine Passports and Mask Mandates – Well, Almost, It is France

Rules requiring people to show a COVID-19 vaccine passport to access venues and to wear a face mask indoors will be lifted in France on March 14th – 11 days time – French Prime Minister Jean Castex has said.

“The health situation is improving,” Castex told TF1 television on Thursday.

In a remarkable stroke of luck for the Government, the rules are being lifted about a month before the presidential election.

Masks will however still be required on public transport, and vaccine passes required to access elderly care homes. They couldn’t possibly let go of them entirely.

Has Macron decided the unvaccinated are adequately “pissed off” now? Has sufficient punishment been meted out to the obstinate and recalcitrant? It appears so. For now.

Absolutely.

And that is the part that I think he will hold on to for 2 reasons – A) to pacify those who got jabbed – that they got jabbed for a reason, otherwise why did they do it? and B) to maintain the con that there was a deadly virus that only a vaccine could contain and all must be vaccinated.

World covid politics now in tatters – just as it was from the get go with the fake case numbers and fraudulent PCR testing.

You read my mind BP – I had that very same thought last night. Not only do we seem to face the prospect of being plunged almost overnight into a version of the 1970’s (early part of that decade very dismal in my neck of the woods) but we also face the prospect of being turned into slaves of the state with no freedom of choice at the same time with all the wokeness and the virtue signalling and fascism erupting everywhere. Bearing that in mind, the prospect of the big bomb seems like a way to escape all that.

You’ll need proof of having tested ‘negative for Covid’ for travel between countries in Europe if ‘unvaccinated’. Apparently you can travel to Norway and Iceland without this requirement, but you’ll need to take a PCR before your return to the UK, and have a pre-purchased PCR waiting for you upon arrival to the UK.

The timing is no coincidence.

And in any case, not a single country in the world has stepped back from the principle that, if illness from a respiratory virus increases they will deploy some or even all of the measures again. All they are conceding is the spectacularly obvious: there is at the present time no unusual or even usual seasonal threat of illness to the population.

Furthermore, they are not backing down from the false premise that COVID jabs have solved the problem and save people, despite the equally spectacularly obvious evidence to the contrary.

This is true of Macron and every other national leader.

I have family members living in France.

On a recent visit home they made a point of inviting everyone to visit them in France – well, they made a point of inviting the jabbees to visit.

They did not invite me.

Formerly, it was me who was invited on a regular basis.

I saw a lot of ‘Macron’s rules’ being rigidly adhered to even though they were visiting in the UK. For example, masks on faces as soon as they crossed the threshold of the front door. I had to point out to them that A) they were outside and should be breathing in fresh air (ie “you are safe”) and B) this is UK where masks outside are only for the very fearful. We went to an exhibit; the French dwelling visitors spent the entire visit to it masked to the eyeballs, with me in bareface.

It is possible that I am in some way being “punished” for not being jabbed, not mask wearing, and not going along with the whole covid bollocks. Human nature being what it is I’m not ruling it out.

I have seen that – I know of double jabbed going through IVF treatment – if they do manage to conceive I almost fear for the end product – how damaged will it be? how may years will it take to manifest itself?

Yes, being unjabbed we will manage to remain and thrive – but I would qualify that by saying, for now, because sooner or later it is hard to avoid the conclusion that another virus of some kind will be released and another jabbing onslaught will begin.

I congratulate myself on an almost daily basis for managing to avoid it this time around, but am I going to have to construct myself the 21st century equivalent of a “priest hole” in which to secrete myself when, if that should happen, the jabbing squads begin to go door to door??

It’s not only that restrictions are being lifted 24 days before the first round of the election. The announcement that they’re being removed was made today, a few hours before Macron declared that he will be a candidate.

In other news, get this from Reuters: “UK vows to sanction Russian oligarchs, ponders law change“.

They can’t even put a clamp on Russian money in London. Funny how they managed in the past with Iran. They can talk about it though, and they can say they’re thinking about doing it to some extent, when they get round to it. It’s fairly obvious they’re worried about the collapse of their banking system. Or perhaps more exactly, they know it will collapse and they want to have at least SOME control over the timing, because, y’know, most of us need to sleep for several hours in each 24 hour period.

If they do decide to go for a no-fly zone, you have to wonder how many of their planes these suckers will actually get off the ground. They’ll be too busy “vowing” and “pondering” to know what’s about to hit them.

Well, I’m not an optimist, by any means. And I rarely look on the “bright side of things”.

My sister lives in Paris. She couldn’t make it for Christmas but came over to England at the end of January (when the psychopaths allowed travel).

We had a week of visiting pubs, restaurants, public transport, shops, stores, family and friends – all unmasked and without showing a sani-pass equivalent. Ever. My sister was in shock.

In St. Pancreas, as she headed towards the Eurostar departure, she said to me: “You know what David, England has been a breath of fresh air!”

I didn’t know what to say or how to react, I was taken back.

A couple of corrections. The Vaccine pass is to go entirely. The Health pass remains for health care premises and long distance public transport. Health pass use to be double jabbed , or prior infection, or antigen test 24 hours prior. Its unclear whether the double jabbed has morphed into treble jabbed ( same as vaccine jab). Health care premises are I believe hospitals, clinics and care homes, although local clinics of all kinds have never applied this. This probably means that to visit say your sick wife/husband in hospital unless you are treble jabbed , and boosters have to be mRNA, you have to stick a kebab stick up your nose every day. Masks are health care ( see above) and long distance travel , TGV/airlines( ie not local/commuter travel). Nothing whatsoever about entry/exit conditions for travel. Which remain ‘prison state’ as of today for total unvaxed ( ie none , single or double jabbed cannot leave France unless its to an EU state unless they have a ‘valid reason’ which does not include ‘just because I want to’. ) Mrs Peyrole remains extremely pissed off, to such an extent that we will be looking to sell up and… Read more »

I could not live with the ongoing uncertainty of “will they/won’t they?” for the foreseeable future and the amount of anxiety that would bring. It would really do a number on my mental health and we only get one life, so I will take quality of life every time, even if it means the huge upheaval of having to move country. And if Micron honestly thinks that relaxing ‘most’ restrictions just before an election will magically make all those that hate and oppose him suddenly vote for him then his naivety and arrogance are off the charts! After the way he’s treat his citizens he should be ousted then hung, drawn and quartered, the psychopathic little bastard!! I’d love it if the people of France were allowed to go full Medieval on him! lol

Don’t you live in the Netherlands? EU Vaxx Pass in use there? Sounds like just another prison to me!

People travelling from within the EU/Schengen area who can show proof of vaccination can travel to the Netherlands. Travellers from outside the EU/Schengen area must always show a negative test result as well. Even if they have proof of vaccination.”

“If you do not live in the EU, you are subject to the EU entry ban and cannot travel to the Netherlands, unless:

  • you can show a valid, paper vaccination certificate, or
  • you can show a digital vaccination certificate issued by a country taking part in the EU Digital COVID Certificate system (ec.europa.eu).”

No the vax passes have been dropped here. I linked the news on this a while back. I went to the cinema like a normal person yesterday and today I will go to 2 museums, all places I’ve been barred from for ages unless I had the QR code vax pass. It’s only for large events that it’s in use but that isn’t a concern of mine.

I am so sick of this covid aka great reset nonsense. But I undertake as a duty to inform people about facts about cheaply, effectively and qucikly curing this so called virus symptoms. Search for c19ivermectin on your search engine. On that website you will find as of right now there are 142 studies. 93 of them are peer reviewed about curing covid19 with ivermectin. These are undeniable evidences. Get your ivermectin before it is too late https://ivmpharmacy.com

Polling says that “pouvoir d’achat” (“purchasing power”, i.e. real income) is the top political issue for the electorate in France, but I’m not sure that that’s actually so or that even if it is it still will be at the time of the election. The war in Europe may well be bigger. In any case, the war may by that time already have had a large effect on incomes in France – for example if NATO has started fighting Russia directly, or if the banking system has collapsed. This is quite aside from the emotional effect on people of videos such as this https://twitter.com/i/status/1499497097728561154 (Warning: this is a horrible clip of the deathly results of the Russian bombing of a residential area in Chernihiv – don’t watch it if you would rather not see it.) I don’t fancy Le Pen’s electoral chances one bit. She may not even get into the second round. Then again, Macron has been made to look a fool over his Russia policy. Whether any candidate might be viewed as actually talking sense about the war that voters might want to get behind is an open question. The idea that “Russia has bitten off more than… Read more »

The international bankers puppet has been given instructions as Johnson and many other of their puppets to ease the leash on the necks of the complaint while they ramp up the next level of fear/ obedience about their war in the Ukraine!

It’s a classic (well, an “operant”) behavioural conditioning technique – on-off, variable schedule.

The next level of fear and the next level of obedience are both going to shock a lot of people.

I don’t really care: the French have made slaves of themselves and they’re stupid enough to vote for Macron again in a month’s time. As an unjabbed, free-woman, I don’t intend ever visiting the country again.

Yep bang go my skiing holidays. Incidentally is there anywhere one can go skiing without encountering all this nonsense? Legitimately that is I know plenty with phoney “vaccine” passports/certificates.

Can I go there without being jabbed or taking a pointless test? If not, none of this means anything to me.

Only suspended not got rid of. Vaccine passport required for health care. My husband has radiotherapy every day 30 sessions takes 10 minutes. In order to access this treatment he has to have a daily PCRtest at his own expense 43 euros per day. The fact that we can now have a cup of coffee without being vaccinated is not much help!
