While most French health care workers are vaccinated against the virus, a small but vocal minority is holding out. With infections exploding, a new law requiring them to get the shots is exposing the divide. 6park.com
尽管大多数法国医护人员已经接种疫苗以抵御病毒，仍有一小部分人员坚持反对。伴随着感染人数的激增，已出台的强制接种疫苗政策正在暴露二者之间的分歧。



The French government, which has declared that the nation has officially entered its “fourth wave” of the pandemic, pushed the law mandating COVID-19 vaccines for health care workers, to protect hospitals and avoid a new lockdown. Government spokesman Gabriel Attal says the move isn’t meant to stigmatize reluctant health care workers but to limit risks to the vulnerable people they care for. 6park.com
法国政府宣称全国已经进入疫情爆发的第四次高峰，为保证医院的安全并避免新一轮的封城，法国出台了医护工作者强制接种疫苗的法规。政府新闻发言人加布里埃尔·阿塔尔表示，这一举动并非有意侮辱不情愿接种的医护工作者，而是为了规避受他们照顾的虚弱病人被感染的风险。 6park.com
The law, adopted by parliament early Monday, also sets up a “health pass” for everyone in order to access restaurants and other public venues. Both measures have prompted intense debate and two straight weekends of protests around France. Health care workers in white coats have been among the demonstrators. 6park.com

Scientists say that is simply not true anymore. The vaccines used in France — Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson — were tested in tens of thousands of people around the world, and results of the studies have been shared with the public. More than 2 billion people worldwide have now received coronavirus vaccines, including most French adults, providing a broad overview of vaccines’ impact on people’s health. 6park.com
科学家们说，这种说法是不正确的。在法国使用的疫苗——辉瑞、莫德纳、阿斯利康和强生（杨森）——已经在世界各地数万人身上进行了测试，其测试的结果也早已分享给公众。全球目前有20多亿人口接种了新冠疫苗，其中包括大多数法国成年人，这为疫苗对于人健康的影响提供了一个全面的概述。 6park.com

近几十年来，法国一直面临疫苗、减肥药和隆胸等医疗丑闻，这些丑闻引发了人们对于医疗机构的质疑。公众对于大型制药公司的怀疑是相对普遍的，极左和极右的政客们为了自己的目的也在为这种怀疑推波助澜。 6park.com
Retired doctor Bruno de Ligny, who volunteers in vaccination centers in Normandy, stressed that the technology behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines widely used in France, while new, has been under research for more than 20 years. He also noted that French health workers must already be vaccinated against hepatitis B – a vaccine not compulsory for the rest of the population — but “no one claimed that was dictatorial when it was implemented.” 6park.com
在诺曼底疫苗接种中心担任志愿者的退休医生布鲁诺·德·里尼强调，法国广泛使用的辉瑞和莫德纳疫苗背后的技术虽然是新的，但已经进行了20多年的研究。他还指出，法国医护工作者必须接种乙肝疫苗——这种疫苗的接种对其他人群来说并非强制性的——但“在这项规定实施时，没有人称这是独裁。” 6park.com

Patrick Pelloux, president of the emergency room doctors’ union Association des Médecins Urgentistes de France, lauded the French government for taking decisive action in the face of rising infections. The country is now seeing about 20,000 new infections a day, up from just a few thousand in early July, and has counted over 111,000 virus-related deaths in the pandemic. 6park.com

Pelloux said workers in the lowest-skill health care jobs are among the most vaccine-wary, a symptom of what he called an overlooked “class struggle” in public hospitals, where there is little interaction between different levels of medical workers. 6park.com
佩洛克斯说，从事技术水平最低的卫生保健工作的工作人员对疫苗最警惕，这就是他所说的在公立医院中被忽视的“阶级斗争”的症状，在公立医院中，不同级别的医护人员之间几乎没有互动。 6park.com
In June, France’s public health agency estimated that 72.2% of doctors had received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, against only 58.7% of nurses and 50% of assistant nurses.

We have an ethical ... and civic duty to get vaccinated and limit hospital-acquired COVID infections,” he said, adding that most of those who died of COVID-19 in France would still be alive today if they had received a vaccine. And health workers have been among those most exposed, and infected. 6park.com
“我们的工作是照顾人们，而不是谋杀他们。接种疫苗并尽可能遏制医院范围内新冠病毒的感染是我们道德的要求和公民的职责，”他说，在法国因新冠疫情死去的人们如果曾接种过疫苗，那么他们一定能够活到今天。医护工作者是最容易被暴露在病毒之中，同时最易被感染的人群。 6park.com
Some protesters said they would eventually consent to getting the jab if given no choice, but would resent it. Others said they would attempt to buy fake vaccine certificates instead. French police have arrested several people suspected of trafficking fake virus certificates on social media, where the documents can fetch several hundred euros (dollars) each. 6park.com
一些抗议者表示，如果别无选择，他们最终会同意接种疫苗，但会对此感到不满。其他人则表示，他们将尝试购买假的疫苗证书。法国警方已逮捕了几名涉嫌在社交媒体上贩卖假病毒证书的人，这些文件每张可以卖到几百欧元(美元)。 6park.com
