1 million people in France make vaccine appointments after Macron warning

More than 1 million people in France have made appointments to get the coronavirus vaccine after French President Emmanuel Macron said COVID-19 passes would soon be needed for daily activities.

Doctolib, the centralized vaccine appointment app for the country, announced Tuesday that 1.3 million people in France signed up to get the coronavirus vaccine, The Associated Press reported. The majority of those who signed up were under 35 years old.

The surge in vaccination appointments comes after Macron said proof of a coronavirus vaccination, a negative COVID-19 test or recent recovery from the virus would be needed to go into restaurants and stores.

A COVID-19 pass would be needed to get on planes and trains as well.

Yeah. The United States is full of white victims, thanks to people like TFG, Carlson, Ingraham and Hannity. And yes, can they ever cry! 😭😭😭

That's dumb. It puts an unnecessary barrier between people and the vaccine.

Howe do I know? I couldn't sign up here in NM. The site had a fucking CAPTCHA, and I'm sight handicapped.

and friends are as isolated as I am. That happens when you hit your 70s.

Going blind in a time of plague is not fun.

The Dept. of Public Health finally got out of my way by dumping the sign ups.

Curious about the reaction of their residents. I bet there won't be the whining, the feet stomping, the curse words hurling, and physical aggression that we would probably have here if passports were to become mandatory here! I bet they just don't have as many crybabies over there as we do!!

I guess we ARE seeing their reaction....1 more million people signed up!
