In his letter, he implored the government to assume its authoritarianism and impose vaccination on an infantilised people who would then become thankful about it.<\/p>\n\n<p>The release and publicity given to this text illustrate both the media power at work to impose a vaccination agenda over which the lowly people cannot have the last word, and the rhetoric that accompanies it, which presents decision-makers as introducing health measures under duress.<br\/>Thus, we read \u201cwith the energy of despair\u201d, that \u201cyou will have to [\u2026] face the facts\u201d and here and there that \u201cthe government is forced to\u2026\u201d, \u201cthe government resolves to\u2026\u201d. As if vaccine coercion were unavoidable. The Swedes, the British, and others will appreciate this.<\/p>\n\n<p>Along with a few other manipulative figures, a nauseating and deeply deplorable logic unfolds, taking the side of political personalities whose membership of minorities is emphasised, to let us conclude that the physical and mental integrity of unvaccinated people is finally of lesser importance than that of any other person.<\/p>\n\n<p>To claim that the unvaccinated, by the mere fact that they exist, would prevent the vaccinated from seeing their loved ones is simply false. It is a gross untruth that actually contributes to \u201canxiety, fear and aggression\u201d rather than reducing them. Putting the solution to a global health crisis on the shoulders of a minority that is itself a victim of it is d\u00e9j\u00e0-vu and is just another gimmick that should prohibit rather than justify it.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIt is not so much anymore a \u2018duty to others\u2019 to get vaccinated but a protection for oneself.

Yet the <em>Oxford Vaccine Group<\/em> itself was involved in the development of the Oxford\/AstraZeneca Covid vaccine and can therefore legitimately offer informed empirical scientific advice. Fran\u00e7ois Balloux, Director of the Genetics Institute at University College London, quoted in the same Telegraph article, said: \u201cIt is not so much anymore a \u2018duty to others\u2019 to get vaccinated but a protection for oneself. There won\u2019t be any \u2018herd immunity wall\u2019 to hide behind\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>Let us also refer to the <em>Lancet<\/em> study entitled \u201c<em>What is the vaccine effect in reducing the transmission in the context of the SARS CoV 2 Delta variant<\/em>\u201d<a id=\"footnote3back\" href=\"#footnote3\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a>. This study highlights the real, but insufficient effectiveness of vaccines in containing the Delta variant. Another study currently undergoing peer review<a id=\"footnote4back\" href=\"#footnote4\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a> on the transmission of the Delta variant in a closed prison environment should also discourage health actors from relying too blindly on the panacea of vaccination.<\/p>\n\n<p>Similarly, an analysis of the first Danish statistics<a id=\"footnote5back\" href=\"#footnote5\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/a> and a Dutch study<sup><a id=\"footnote6back\" href=\"#footnote6\">6<\/a><\/sup> points to the vaccines being ineffective in containing Omicron, and even facilitating in its transmission, as increasingly reported in the media. The possibility should therefore be considered that an unvaccinated person\u2019s own immune system may be more effective than current vaccines in preventing Omicron infection.<\/p>\n\n<p>In short, it is now widely accepted that vaccines do not prevent infection, transmission or mutation of the virus. It is behind this ignorance, whether calculated or not, that the complicity with a system whose aim is much more political than health-related is revealed.<\/p>\n\n<p>As far as we know<a id=\"footnote7back\" href=\"#footnote7\"><sup>7<\/sup><\/a>, the same is true of the many Covid Check 3G and even 2G measures, which could also have the effect of contributing to infections resuming. There is every reason to believe that in the recent past, the measures, which consisted of removing the gauges in exchange for control measures, may have contributed to the opposite effect of what they claimed to produce.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The temporary isolation of the minister may suggest that the circles of power themselves do not believe in the fable of the vaccine that would return us to normal life<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>A study published in The Lancet<a id=\"footnote8back\" href=\"#footnote8\"><sup>8<\/sup><\/a><a><\/a>confirms the substantial nature of contagion by the vaccinated in the global dynamics. Take, for example, the case of the Minister of Justice, Ms Tanson, who announced her withdrawal on 2 December last year, after a positive PCR test confirming a mild symptomatic form of Covid<a id=\"footnote9back\" href=\"#footnote9\"><sup>9<\/sup><\/a> <a><\/a>. Before that day, Mrs Tanson had been able to carry out her activities in all legality, since she had a Covid Check of vaccinated status. Contrary to unvaccinated persons who, when tested regularly, are prevented from going to work when they are positive, Mrs. Tanson, like any other vaccinated person who was Covid-positive at the time, was able to contribute, unknowingly, to the spread of the virus to other people, whether vaccinated or not, and thus to the increase in the number of positive cases and, consequently, to the supposed overloading of the hospital services.<\/p>\n\n<p>It should also be noted that the introduction of these Covid Check measures at the beginning of the winter season, which is favourable to the spread of diseases, is not very appropriate<a id=\"footnote10back\" href=\"#footnote10\"><sup>10<\/sup><\/a>. Thus we can see how, in view of the scientific information available to us, certain measures contravene the best intentions behind them.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, it is also in the light of such situations that we can measure the incoherence of speeches and actions. Indeed, the temporary isolation of the minister, like the case-contact ministers of the Castex government in France, may lead one to believe that the circles of power themselves do not believe in the fable of the vaccine that would bring us back to a normal life, even though that is what they claim to anyone who will listen. Or are we suggesting that isolation, particularly of a vaccinated person, or even of a person who is not necessarily contaminated (contact case), is part of \u201cnormal life\u201d?<\/p>\n\n<p>Despite all the scientific evidence questioning the relevance of the measures at work, our authorities seem to limit themselves to a \u201clogic\u201d, perfectly illustrated in Mr. Rauchs\u2019 letter, which would like it to be enough to ensure that the unvaccinated no longer exist to put an end to the current crisis.<\/p>\n\n<p>This strategy has a name: it is that of the scapegoat, theorised by Ren\u00e9 Girard and very rightly put into context by Mathieu Slama in an article in Le Figaro<a id=\"footnote11back\" href=\"#footnote11\"><sup>11<\/sup><\/a>, which reminds us of the obvious: the permanent search for a culprit will have a lasting effect on our society but will not eliminate the virus. For we can already foresee, in the reality before us, the next reasons for anxiety and division in our society, likely to maintain the crisis: the emergence of new variants, the sequence of boosters offering unequal protection depending on the type of vaccine<a id=\"footnote12back\" href=\"#footnote12\"><sup>12<\/sup><\/a>, the number of boosters administered<a id=\"footnote13back\" href=\"#footnote13\"><sup>13<\/sup><\/a>, the difference in vaccines and vaccination policies between countries, etc. Let us not doubt the creativity of those who have been inspired with fear to find reasons to fear and reject one or the other.<\/p>\n\n<p>The incursion of Dr. Rauchs is all the more surprising in that no one is better placed than a doctor-psychiatrist to help individuals discern reality from their idea of it.<\/p>\n\n<p>There is nothing to prevent us from proposing it here.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The 2G+ rule is the clearest admission yet of the failure of immunisation to deliver on government promises<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>On the one hand, the authorities base their decisions on indicators of contagion. The number of deaths is brandished to arouse emotions, the regrets of unvaccinated people in intensive care are thrown to the general public<a id=\"footnote14back\" href=\"#footnote14\"><sup>14<\/sup><\/a><a><\/a>. The slogan is simple, even simplistic because it is scientifically questionable (as explained above): \u201cthe only solution at present is the rate of vaccination&#8221;<a id=\"footnote15back\" href=\"#footnote15\"><sup>15<\/sup><\/a><a><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>At the same time, the 2G+ rule, which requires testing in addition to vaccination in places like restaurants, is a sign of hypocrisy at work and the clearest admission yet of the failure of vaccination to live up to government promises.<\/p>\n\n<p>At the same time, no hospital doctor has yet spoken out about the regrets of terminal smokers, while tobacco causes twice as many deaths in Luxembourg<a id=\"footnote16back\" href=\"#footnote16\"><sup>16<\/sup><\/a> (and in the world) and Luxembourg is a leading tobacco seller.<\/p>\n\n<p>Given this mass cognitive dissociation, many citizens, including those who have been vaccinated, see their confidence in government measures erode. The objective of 85% of the population being vaccinated, which came out of nowhere and was the latest in a series of announcements by the world\u2019s main health authorities (excluding the WHO) on supposed herd immunity<a id=\"footnote17back\" href=\"#footnote17\"><sup>17<\/sup><\/a>, and the fine promises of regaining freedom<a id=\"footnote18back\" href=\"#footnote18\"><sup>18<\/sup><\/a> 18 that accompanied it, have disappeared in an avalanche of measures designed to reinforce the previous ones even before they come into force. What if this political and media agitation was just a smoke screen designed to mask a failure that no one is ready to admit, and to launch us into a headlong rush the consequences of which are more than uncertain?<\/p>\n\n<p>An approach that would truly take into account the facts, realities and lessons learned, would abandon the stances of authority that are beginning to lose their illusion in order to restore confidence. To do this, it would be necessary to inject some measure and consultation into health policy and into the perception that our fellow citizens have of this pandemic. Especially since there is every reason to find reasons, rather than scapegoats. The British Medical Journal article \u201c<em>The end of the pandemic will not be televised<\/em>\u201d<a id=\"footnote19back\" href=\"#footnote19\"><sup>19<\/sup><\/a>, attempts to demonstrate the extent to which our <em>dashboards<\/em>, screens of statistics updated in real time, can deceive us about the state of the crisis and that the way out is not so much a question of total victory over the virus as of our ability, when the time comes, to change our perception of the situation, which is precisely what the <em>dashboards<\/em> prevent us from doing. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n<p>So let us be glad, first, that the variants that have so far penetrated vaccine protection to the point of dominance are not more severe than Alpha \u2013 including Omicron, for which a first report (under review) indicates an 80% reduction in hospital admissions and a 70% reduction in serious cases<a id=\"footnote20back\" href=\"#footnote20\"><sup>20<\/sup><\/a>. Minus 80% means 2 people in hospitals with Omicron when there were 10 with Delta.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The question of the long term does not arise in the same way for a young adult as for an octogenarian<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>It should also be remembered that more than 99% of those infected survive the Alpha and Delta variants<a id=\"footnote21back\" href=\"#footnote21\"><sup>21<\/sup><\/a>, and that more than 97%<a id=\"footnote22back\" href=\"#footnote22\"><sup>22<\/sup><\/a> of those who unfortunately die are people with comorbidities, i.e. people who are probably already known to our hospitals. More than 64% of Covid victims are 80 years old or older<a id=\"footnote23back\" href=\"#footnote23\"><sup>23<\/sup><\/a>, while life expectancy at birth is currently around 82 years<sup><a id=\"footnote24back\" href=\"#footnote24\">24<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is therefore understandable that many of the references cited here, as well as Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghbreyesus, Director General of the WHO<a id=\"footnote25back\" href=\"#footnote25\"><sup>25<\/sup><\/a>, insist that vaccination should target the most vulnerable as a priority, and that it should be carried out in all countries, which would be a real \u201csolidarity\u201d. The fact that children without comorbidities are not threatened by the virus, and in any case less so than by influenza<a id=\"footnote26back\" href=\"#footnote26\"><sup>26<\/sup><\/a>, raises questions about the determination of laboratories and authorities to promote these vaccines to the youngest.

In essence: \u201cthere are more deaths among the unvaccinated than among the vaccinated\u201d. To which the opponents of vaccination in principle would have no problem retorting the same kind of evidence, namely: \u201cthere are more deaths from vaccination among the vaccinated than among the unvaccinated\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>For more than two thousand years, this debate was supposed to be settled at the level of the individual by the Hippocratic oath (\u201c<em>Primum non nocere<\/em>\u201c); given its existence, we wonder what legitimises our political and health authorities, as well as many doctors, to ignore it. This founding oath of medicine is reflected in the principle of the benefit\/risk approach. In contrast to this approach based on the individual, the approach based on the number of deaths at the community level seems to have been imposed without further debate, and appears to be self-evident. However, if a management accounting approach were to be used to dictate health policy, why would we not instead choose one based on the number of life years saved? With this approach, it would be considered that we could only afford to \u201csacrifice\u201d the life of a 20-year-old if it saved the lives of sixty-two 81-year-olds<a href=\"#footnote31\" id=\"footnote31back\"><sup>31<\/sup><\/a>.

According to this reasoning, a baby could be conceived in a month simply by getting nine women pregnant at the same time. When one also notes that never in the history of mankind has such an experimental treatment been massively injected into a population every four months, one shudders at the idea of the magnitude of the risk that lies ahead.<\/p>\n\n<p>Yet the praise for the government\u2019s \u201chealth\u201d policy and calls for its continuation are undermined by the eminent Harvard epidemiologist Prof. Martin Kulldorf<a href=\"#footnote34\" id=\"footnote34back\"><sup>34<\/sup><\/a>, who calls our health policies nothing short of a <strong>\u201cfiasco\u201d<\/strong> and openly states that <strong>\u201cthose who are pushing these vaccine mandates and vaccine passports \u2026 they\u2019re doing so much more damage to vaccine confidence than anybody else\u201d<\/strong>. He also points out that the immunity acquired through the disease is of much better quality and much longer lasting (at least a year and a half, he says, which is how far back he was on the subject at the time of the interview), which may be of societal interest in terms of risk management. And here is the hypocrisy of the 2G rule, which completely ignores the immune status of the individual and claims that the vaccine is the only solution.<\/p>\n\n<p>The much-touted supposed beautiful unanimity in our country is not present in Great Britain either, where the first side effects in the medium term and a total lack of knowledge about the long term are emphasised, which led a committee of the House of Lords to take a stance against compulsory vaccination for health care workers<a href=\"#footnote35\" id=\"footnote35back\"><sup>35<\/sup><\/a><a><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>In any case, from a risk management perspective, the strategy of a health policy based on a broad vaccination mandate using vaccines that are so experimental has a name: putting all one\u2019s eggs in one basket.
