Bertrand Kiefer: «Trivializing this pandemic would be a step backwards for humanity».»

Le Regard Libre N° 80 - Jean-David Ponci

Taking vaccine hesitants and anti-sanitary passers-by seriously, trying to answer their questions by putting forward arguments against their position, helps us all to identify the flaws in our societies and to rethink together the notions of solidarity and freedom. Interview with doctor and theologian Bertrand Kiefer, editor-in-chief of the Swiss Medical Journal.

Le Regard Libre: When I read your article «Dans l'ombre, le Covid», I got the impression that you were demonizing the antivaxers, or only considering some of them, by talking about «health constraints and the side effects of vaccines as the ultimate evil». But we all have friends who don't want to be vaccinated, and whose motives are quite different: either they've already had Covid and it didn't do them any good, or they haven't had it yet and think it's a good idea to get vaccinated.
