The head of a major metropolitan hospital in Paris, France has publicly suggested that COVID19 patients who have refused to submit to the mRNA treatment or other form of ‘vaccine’ should be charged, punitively for emergency treatment if they should become ill due to the virus.
Martin Hirsch, the administrator in question told the television programme C à vous that the door to hospital treatment is open to everyone, however, he questioned whether this had to go hand in hand with “responsibility, allowing everyone to benefit,” saying this was a “delicate debate”.
“When a free prevention tool is available, can be used, is recognised as something useful by the scientific community, and you refuse it, do you do so without suffering any consequences? Or do we say we will treat you, but there is no reason why you should have no consequences when there will be for other patients who are having difficulty getting treatment and can do nothing about it,” Hirsch said.
"Je ne veux fermer la porte de l'hôpital et du soin à personne : mais il faut être allié avec la responsabilité qui permet à tout le monde d'en bénéficier."
Covid-19 : les non-vaccinés doivent-ils bénéficier des soins gratuits ? @MartinHirsch s'interroge.#CàVous pic.twitter.com/Lz6QyaLKI2— C à vous (@cavousf5) January 26, 2022
Making The Hospital A Place Of Punishment
Hirsch’s comments have sparked outrage, condemnation, and multiple calls for his resignation, even from candidates in the upcoming French Presidential Election.
According to The Guardian,
“The Socialist party’s Anne Hidalgo said making the vaccine-hesitant pay for treatment was not the answer. “We have a strategy and we have to keep on educating people,” she said. Danièle Obono of the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI), was among those calling for Hirsch to resign, saying vaccinated and unvaccinated people had each contributed financially to pay for the health system. Julien Aubert, an MP for the mainstream-right Les Républicains, accused Hirsch of “mixing politics with administrative functions”.
BFM Avec RMC reported that National Rally Party Candidate for the French Presidency and Deputy for Pas-de-Calais Marine Le Pen had extremely harsh criticism for Hirsch,
“I think he should be replaced because this remark is absolutely unworthy of the place he occupies”.
Christopher Prudhomme, of the ambulance service in the Paris banlieue, told The Guardian that Hirsch’s comments were scandalous.
“This isn’t his job. Looking for a scapegoat is catastrophic. If we enter the spiral of patient selection, are we to make smokers pay for the lung cancer treatment or punish the obese because they eat too much?”
