And to ear the french media (so everybody can enjoy different views...),
here (I'm mailing from France), the decision to stop vaccinate was
mainly pushed by economists which 'demonstrates' that the cost of
vaccine was not worth and that there was no real risk to stop vaccinate
and that it was in fact needed for the farmer so that they can export to
some other countries (i.e. usa). Sound to me they are trying to
use the french preconception against Eurocrats... (a new unregulated specie
of Technocrats, the traditionnal faulty guys in France [well, they usually
deserve it too...]).
