fever rises in screening and vaccination centers

“Times are changing, alas. Laurent Cavalieri, head of the municipal police force in Thionville, sighs. It seems very distant, even inaudible, the echo of the pot drummed every evening to greet the hard work of the caregivers. The euphoria of the first vaccination campaign, electrifying as a day of national liberation, has also been diluted over time.

Today, even the asymptomatic suffer from covid. Wear and tear, nervousness as undesirable side effects.

“The whims of the rich”

“It is sometimes complicated, I admit. The tension is very palpable ”, regrets the Mr. Doctolib of the municipal vaccination center. The day before, a computer bug slowed down, by a quarter of an hour, the pace of the site: “We immediately noticed the tension. “

Police in the long queue that stretches every day in front of the Espace Saint-Nicolas is not uncommon. Aggravating factor of discord: the scarcity of Pfizer, the benchmark value of the vaccination campaign: “Recently, a woman complained of not having Pfizer. She left furious saying that anyway, she had booked three dates. And that she would manage to have her dose, reports Laurent Cavalieri. These are the whims of the rich. “

Some over 65 also benefit from their exceptional diet: “Since they don’t have to make an appointment, a handful of them don’t understand that they have to wait. They would like a special line like at Eurodisney. »A vaccine fast pass? This would deserve a new debate in the national assembly …

“There are incivilities”

Tension is also discussed in screening centers. Omicron’s contagiousness is reflected in traffic jams in front of the Thionville laboratories: “Last Sunday, more than 700 people were tested in our laboratory in Val-Marie, it’s unprecedented”, accounts François Joppin, the communicating voice of Biogroup.

Enough to provoke, here too, some signs of weariness: “Most people are understanding, but yes, there is incivility. »More particularly at the time of the meridian break.

Inviting around 40 people to come back in the afternoon requires… courage: “We could no longer ask our teams to perform this task. Hence the decision to use a security company. “

Enhanced surveillance

Biogroup’s seven largest Moselle sites, including Thionville, have thus been subject to enhanced surveillance since December 13. A reinforcement far from being superfluous, evidenced by the recent assault of a security officer in front of the center of Hagondange. “The contract has been extended at least for this month of January,” says François Joppin.

Who did not imagine, one day, to portray such a surge in security in the profession: “Recently, I spoke with a friend: his companion, a biologist, can no longer bear incivility. To the point of wanting to stop. When I think that since the beginning of my career, in 1985, I have only experienced two somewhat tense episodes… ”Times are changing, indeed.
