France's parliament on Thursday approved President Emmanuel Macron's plans for a vaccine pass to help curb the spread of the Omicron variant after a tumultuous debate whipped up by Macron's comments that he wanted to "piss off" the unvaccinated.
The bill would make it obligatory to have a full course of vaccination against COVID-19 to enjoy some basic activities, including inter-city train travel, attending cultural events and eating out.
