France is planning to extend its vaccine passport scheme obliging travellers to present proof of vaccination, proof of recovery or negative test results upon arrival at the borders of France until at least the end of March 2023. Schengen Visa News has more.
A leaked draft law published by the French media Atlantico, the authenticity of which has later been confirmed by the French Ministry of Health, shows that the country is planning to set up a border scheme through which travellers over the age of 12 reaching the territory of France, Corsica and overseas territories would have to show proof they are immune [sic] to COVID-19.
The same document also foresees the extension of the SI-DEP computer files results of screening tests and Contact Covid (infected people and contact cases) until March 31st, next year.
According to the Ministry of Health, the preliminary draft bill “will be the subject of discussions, before its presentation to the Council of Ministers, with the political forces”.
The bill comes at a time when the country is experiencing an increase in the number of cases, with a total of 342,504 new cases registered in the last seven days alone and 270 deaths within the same period, data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) show.
The spike in the number of cases has occurred in spite of the vaccination rates in the country. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), 80.4% of the French population are vaccinated with at least the first dose, 78.1% with the second dose, and 59.2% with a booster or additional COVID-19 vaccination dose.
The bill comes following a vote in the European Parliament last week to approve an EU Commission proposal to renew the EU Digital Covid Certificate for another year.
The EU countries which, like France, still have COVID-19 travel restrictions are Spain, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal and Slovakia.
Have none of them noticed that vaccination does not prevent infection or transmission? Why are they hobbling their economy and undermining freedom by restricting visitor entry for a policy which has not been shown to achieve any benefit at all?

Roger Scruton described the USSR lasting for so long as the software of Bolshevism ossifying into hardware. Russians started each day with the sole determination to survive that day. To do so meant going along with things ‘to get by’, ‘reading the script to fit it’.
Peter Hitchens observed that when communism collapsed in Russia the waste bins in the streets were filled with party membership cards being burned. Whether the owners had read Marx and understood the theories or not, their allegiance was just performative; a necessity to survive.
Katie Lam read the transcripts from the court hearings to a largely empty House. The expressions on the faces of the other MPs was as if they had been passengers on the Titanic and had been informed that a cold sea awaited them, not the bright lights of Broadway and the expensive shops of Fifth Avenue.
Julie Bindel can write her articles on the phenomena of white girls used as prey animals until the sun turns red but they will always be the same. Just cut and paste, Julie, to save your time and ours.
If Reform UK or any other political organisation is used to represent a ‘white community’, both merely become part of the system of governance known as diversity. It would, along with the demonstrable fact that, as Ben Cobley says, everyone just knows the rules of how they must fit into being governed, proves that the software of diversity has ossified into hardware.
Those who are troubled by the way in which so many of the most vile crimes have clearly been swept under the carpet by so many for so long should contribute to They Knew. It is clear that the current government have every intention of doing all they can to keep the truth hidden, only legal action by the people for the victims can bring it to light.
How odd of God to choose liberal social science of the ungodly West to advance the fortunes of a religion of late antiquity.
Alternatively, if like Darwin one didn’t believe in a deity and substituted evolution for the historicism of the religion, this fusion of two things that would never have met in the natural world would be like the way in which the x Cupressocyparis leylandii was created.
Reversion – becoming a ‘revert’ – is the premise behind the assertion that Britain is a nation of immigrants.
A person’s ancestors may have been in the territory, in the polity, for centuries, but their descendent living today has just ‘forgotten’ that they are an immigrant. Believing that they are indigenous is ‘false consciousness’. They must just revert in order to become as one with all other immigrants.
Alternatively, that reversion might be called ‘reverse assimilation’. Unlike some colonial expats in the British Empire, they do not need to leave the shores of Britain to have ‘gone native’, as the Victorians called it.
The simplistic DEI mantra, in its current form, is a form of control. Akin to a divide and conquer strategy. It starts off as a mix of minority groups vs the white ethnicity, sexually straight, majority. However, as the minority groups rise in size, they start squabbling among themselves and massive discriminations across these groups become visible, as the tensions of the world replicate themselves within British society. One example of this is eg South Asians in Britain going on about racism and discrimination but anyone who has worked in such nations of origin already knows that those cultures are near the top of the global list for blatant racism, discrimination, exploitation, and injustices. Funnily enough, this is hardly ever discussed in Britain, which provides clues as to what is really going on here. The technical terms to describe this are opportunism and corruption. This phenomenon has become more apparent but, based on the current trajectory, it is going to become much worse, with a looming risk of societal disintegration.
