Moreover, in order to avoid discrimination against those who refuse vaccination, it is specifically pointed out in the specification that relevant personnel must express the citizens’ decision on whether to vaccinate or not in a neutral manner.

　　To be honest, this "vaccine guide" is one of the reasons for the slow vaccination rate in France. This is no time to be so hesitant about getting a vaccine. However, this is the "people-oriented" of democratic countries and what they are proud of.

　　Too long vaccination regulations, you can’t turn it over.

　　On January 4th, the French government also made a big operation, that is, 35 people (30 full members and 5 substitutes) will be selected by lottery to set up a vaccine citizen committee to help better persuade the French to vaccinate.

　　Of course, how to draw lots, the French government has formulated a set of detailed specifications, but also a thick stack of documents. French people like reading, which is like putting a dictionary on their left hand side and then a dictionary on their right hand side. As a result, France became angry, and I stopped reading this book!

　　However, Jean-Fran?ois Delfraissy, chairman of the Scientific Committee, thinks that such measures are necessary. He emphasizes: "People need to understand why the government makes certain decisions, and citizens’ committees can help restore the trust between citizens and decision makers." And most people think this is bullshit.

　　The French government never imagined that they spent so much thought on taking care of the people’s "emotions", but they overturned the car on some key issues.

　　In addition to these "red tape", the so-called centralized system in France also makes the government particularly inefficient. All local epidemic situations and data should be reported to the central government, and then the central government will formulate measures according to the situation before issuing them. This is like the French railway, which is not "four vertical and four horizontal" like the high-speed railway network in China, but all the lines must go to Paris first, and then spread from Paris to other places. This design undoubtedly reduces efficiency.

　　At present, 560,000 doses of vaccine have arrived in France, but the freezer has not yet arrived. Although the French government has requested to speed up and start organizing hospitals to vaccinate medical workers over 50 years old, not all hospitals are equipped with super freezers to meet the storage requirements of-70 C. Therefore, many hospitals are still waiting for the arrival of super freezers before they can prepare for vaccination. Only one factory in France has the capacity to produce this kind of freezer.

　　In other words, hospitals and nursing homes in various places reported the required data of vaccines and freezers, but the health department did not receive them in time, and it was impossible to make preparations. As a result, a considerable number of vaccines will be wasted. But at the same time, how many lives will be delayed?

　　From the beginning of the new crown crisis, the French government has exposed many defects in its ability to cope with the crisis. Whether the masks were out of stock at the beginning or the virus detection ability could not keep up, the results could not be obtained for 10 days, and now the vaccine chaos is directed at the weakness of the French bureaucracy.

　　Just as an infectious disease expert said "hopelessly" a few days ago: "If France wants to win this vaccine war, French politics must undergo a big change."

　　In fact, if the opposition leaders who clamor every day take Macron’s place, they will still be ineffective, or even worse. Therefore, we should not believe that France will become better after the "political revolution".

　　The problem in France lies in the establishment of laws and regulations and the concept of administrative governance.

　　No matter the Napoleonic Code or the separation of church and state law in 1905, many outdated laws and regulations are still in use today. Not only in use, but also constantly adding bricks and tiles, adding branches and leaves, the French administration embarked on a "only increase, not decrease" overlapping bedstead. Today, a "Labor Law" is more than 3,000 pages. Its desire is all-encompassing, and it is bound to be difficult and contradictory to implement. And 5.6 million civil servants are "escorting" this administrative giant.

　　In the 1970s, when the economy grew and the welfare system worked well, this obesity was partially offset by "growing muscles" and the crisis was covered up. However, it goes without saying that in the event of a wartime state or a major crisis such as the new crown, even if there is heavy snow and a hot summer, its governance ability will be ruined.

　　In fact, if we look at European countries, aren’t they facing the same problem?

　　However, no country has changed its mind. The people used votes to elect wave after wave of politicians to power, and then used votes to embarrass them to step down, but no country ever dared to make drastic reforms; On the other hand, even tinkering, people will take to the streets.

　　This is the status quo of European and American countries, which is what Shu Yang called "a rusty machine made of high-quality metal". Although there are elites everywhere in Europe and America, once they are stranded in this bloated machine, they can’t play immediately.
