A quick reminder of the vaccines affair: in July 2017, Agnès Buzyn, the Minister of Health, confirmed that from January 2018, 11 vaccines would be compulsory for children under 2 years old.

Except that this public health measure is today strongly contested. This Wednesday, August 9, 2017, Maître Jacqueline Bergel-Hatchuel (a lawyer who represents an anti-vaccine group of 1,796 French people) sent a 12-page letter to the Ministry of Health.

The risk is that this heavy metal then rises in the brain and creates neuromuscular diseases such as macrophage myofasciitis. »
