France to Extend Vaccine Passport Entry Requirement Until March 2023

by Will Jones
29 June 2022 11:12 AM

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?

Vaccination has become a bit like global warming, an article of faith and religion rather than fact

The cock up theory: bureaucracy moves slowly, once you put in regulations they’re hard to dismantle, politicians are spineless and incompetent.

The bad actors theory: global governance enthusiasts like Macron are holding the line, trying to lay the foundations for a social credit system, central bank digital currency, general enslavement of the population.

(I refuse any longer to refer to the non-cock up explanation of things as a conspiracy theory. The WEF and its intentions to promote world government are public and well known. The ambitions of Bill Gates to vaccinate and track every human on the planet have been stated by him openly on numerous occasions and his influence through GAVI and the WHO are plain to see. Central bankers have announced the development of CBDCs. The admiration of the Chinese social credit system by many western policy makers is real. The ambition of subjecting the world population to unprecedented control by a very powerful few is real and uncomfortably close to being realised. And those who refer to any of that as a conspiracy theories are the delusional ones.)

Well said. And to add to that, anyone who clings to the idea that there is anything benign about certification schemes for vaccines that demonstrably aren’t vaccines, is mentally ill, dangerous, and needs help. My own sister is one of them, she has a PhD and the level of delusion and cognitive dissonance is breathtaking.

W*nkers.
But I’ll just continue to play them with my self-administered aka no physical contact swab done in a national pharmacy chain for 20 quid, and then drive around all the Schengen countries regardless of their rules.
Just worked fine last month.
And the French customs agent in Folkestone didn’t even look at the test sheet. Even they now know it is and treat it like a farce.

Can you be more specific about the self adminsitered no-contact swab thing? I’m very interested in swabing my dog.

The pharmacy I use lets you do it yourself, oral or nasal, while they fill out the form.
No need to touch your gum when you stick it in your mouth, just doing an air swab.

I am reliably informed that dog slobber will provide the necessary result and also, rather than repeatedly paying for so called tests, keep the original negative result on file and use pdf edit to arrange the dates to suit your travel needs. As mentioned above, the French border police/douanes don’t care. (I believe the burden of ‘proof’ lies with the carrier anyway).

Can you just say you’re driving through? Belgium is sensible. Not the most scenic route perhaps though.

‘The spike in the number of cases has occurred in spite of the vaccination rates in the country.’

‘In spite of’? Try ‘because of’.

Remember when, if everybody gets vaccinated we can all get back to normal?

And yet they won’t admit they were wrong and still insist people get booster doses despite overwhelming evidence that vaccination is driving increased infections and increasing the risk of hospitalisation and death from CoVid and a significant risk of injury or death from the vaccines themselves.

Just how much longer can they keep this up?

But the vaccines have saved 20,000,000 people because Neil says so.

What’s worse are the countries that don’t let the unvaccinated in at all (though they’re all pretty stupid, as all the measures are bollocks).

Hmm I was planning to spend the ski season out there next year. Not if it means I have to have another booster. Time to find another country.

My head is wobbling so much at this that I risk it falling off. The most ludicrous comment from a government in a long time.

“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.”

…and in May 2023, the Etias visa waiver scheme comes into being, whereby passport and health details have to be input online to apply for the waiver to visit Europe. More tracking and surveillance…
