白思豪将纽约比作法国该公司本月宣布，从7月21日起，50人或以上的活动或场所以及餐馆、咖啡馆和商店将需要所谓的“健康通行证”从八月开始。顾客也可以出示否定的证明新冠肺炎(新型冠状病毒肺炎)在过去48小时内参加的考试。

反疫苗示威者在巴黎街头高呼，抗议新的限制和限制..
“我们必须考虑让接种疫苗更有吸引力，因为只有接种疫苗后你才能做的事情，”德·白思豪周五在接受WNYC采访时表示。
到目前为止，在法国，新宣布的健康通行证似乎刺激了疫苗接种和反疫苗示威的增加。在埃马纽埃尔·马克龙总统7月12日宣布该系统的电视讲话后的一天，超过100万法国人预约了疫苗接种，其中大多数是由35岁以下的人预约的。据美联社报道。
法国至少有111778人死于新冠肺炎，根据约翰·霍普金斯大学的数据据Macron称，将被要求在9月15日前接种疫苗。

截至周四，58%的法国居民至少接种了一剂疫苗，44%的人已经完全接种了疫苗，根据我们的数据世界。相比之下，56%的美国人至少打了一针，49%的人完全接种了疫苗，根据疾病控制和预防中心。
与此同时，上周末，法国数千人走上街头抗议健康通行证，理由是这项规定超越了马克龙的权力，侵犯了个人自由，加剧了长期的紧张局势。甚至在大流行之前，该国就有一股强烈的疫苗怀疑论贯穿始终。

然而，一些专家贬低了法国作为反疫苗国家的声誉。“法国人说的和他们做的有很大的不同，”科学历史学家、《反毒斧》一书的合著者洛朗-亨利·维格纳德说在一月份告诉《卫报》。“民意调查的方法和问题可能看起来很抽象，但这并不能反映当人们知道他们将在哪里接种疫苗、疫苗会做什么、如何接种、何时接种以及为什么接种时会发生什么。”

New York City eyes French 'health pass' vaccination policy
New YorkMayor Bill de Blasio appeared on Friday to entertain the possibility of implementingvaccination passportsin the nation's largest city.
The mayor, who had previously said vaccine passportscould be an important toolif balanced with privacy concerns, encouraged businesses "to move immediately to some form of mandate," adding that he would "seriously consider" a mandatory COVID pass for most social activities.
De Blasio compared New York toFrance, which announced this month that so-called "health passes" would be required for events or places that include 50 or more people, starting July 21, and for restaurants, cafes and storesstarting in August. Patrons also can show a proof of a negativeCOVID-19test taken in the previous 48 hours to gain entry.
"We have to look at making it more appealing to get vaccinated, because there are only things you can do when you're vaccinated," de Blasio said during an interview with WNYC Friday.
So far in France, the newly announcedhealthpasses appear to have spurred an uptick in both vaccinations and anti-vaccine demonstrations. One day after President Emmanuel Macron's televised July 12 address announcing the system, more than 1 million French people made vaccine appointments, with the majority of those being made by people younger than 35,according to The Associated Press.
Health workers in France, where at least 111,778 people have died from COVID-19,according to data from Johns Hopkins University, will be required to get vaccinated by Sept. 15, according to Macron.
As of Thursday, 58% of French residents had received at least one dose, and 44% were fully vaccinated,according to Our World in Data. By comparison, 56% of Americans had gotten at least one shot, and 49% were fully vaccinated,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At the same time, thousands of people in France took to the streets over the weekend to protest the health passes on the grounds that the rule was an overreach of Macron's power and an infringement of personal freedom, adding to longstanding tension. Even prior to the pandemic, the country had a strong thread of vaccine skepticism running through it.
Researchers on vaccine confidencesurveyed more than 65,000 people across 67 countries in 2015 on their attitudes aboutvaccines. Based on those results, researchers deemed France, where 41% of respondents said they disagreed that vaccines were safe, the world's most vaccine-hesitant country. By comparison, the global average was 13%.
Some experts, however, have pushed back on France's reputation as an anti-vaccine nation. "There’s a very big difference between what the French say and what they do," Laurent-Henri Vignaud, a science historian and coauthor of the book "Antivax,"told the Guardian in January. "And polls whose methodology and questions can seem abstract do not reflect what happens when people know where they will have the vaccine, what it does, the how, when and why."
Some neighboring European countries seem similarly willing to take a hard line on compulsory vaccination. Italy announced that it would introduce its own mandatory health pass systemstarting Aug. 6.
