PARIS -- French President Emmanuel Macron has taken to popular social media apps in a new push to encourage vaccinations against COVID-19, combat "false information" and reach out to younger people.
Since then, Macron has posted a string of short videos addressing issues including: "I'm young and healthy, I have no reason to get the vaccine," "the vaccine is not safe and not 100 per cent efficient" and "it's too soon, the vaccine has been developed too quickly." This is not the first time that Macron, who is widely expected to seek a second presidential term next year, has used social media in a bid to speak to younger people.
