A virus that would not mutate, then variants of Covid-19 appear, signs that are initially useless for the general population and then mandatory, even outside … The government’s rhetoric has changed a lot during this health crisis, until ‘sometimes to say everything and its opposite.

On January 27, 2020, Jérôme Salomon, Director General of Health, sent a message to journalists. “Above all, we are counting on you for the fight against fake news“, he declared. Three days later, Agnès Buzyn, then Minister of Health, mentioned the mutation of the Covid virus.”The virus does not mutate, which is already information“, she assured. Information which has therefore turned out to be false, as evidenced by the British, Brazilian or South African variants.

What about wearing a mask? “The mask is useless if we are not sick“, assured the Minister of Health Olivier Véran in February 2020.”The mask is not the right answer, we have said it before and we will repeat it“, hammered Jérôme Salomon in March 2020.”The use of the mask for the general population is not recommended“, Olivier Véran insisted again in March 2020. And since this summer, the mask is mandatory in large cities, even outside. But in March 2020, the masks were missing, even if the government repeated that it did not there was no shortage.
