French MPs began debating draft legislation that would require most people to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to enter public spaces such as bars, restaurants and long-distance public transport. The vaccine pass is aimed at getting France’s remaining five million unvaccinated people over 12 to accept a shot.

Veran added that selfishness often hides behind talk of supposed liberty.
