The phrase “Let them eat cake”, commonly attributed to Marie Antoinette, doesn’t make any mention of Vaccination Cards but the French are protesting loudly about them. They and many countries are looking at the introduction of some form of Vaccination Proof and preferably one that is not easy to forge. This will then allow them to eat cake, have meals out and go to sporting or cultural events and more importantly, safely.

The first stage is the double vaccination and then being able to prove it, for many reasons. The first is your own safety and then that of everyone else and finally hopefully everything could return to normal. So why are people protesting?

The worrying matter is the number of people who without valid medical reasons don’t want vaccinations since in reality they are being selfish and ignorant. Some misguided individuals don’t believe the pandemic exists, that vaccines do actually work, and everyone needs it but they probably believe the Earth is flat and that Trump won.

It’s time to tell the French to “Se faire vacciner” and the English to “Get vaccinated”. Please!
