Interview
CÉcile Philippe is an economist and president of the Molinari Economic Institute in Paris.
Why are you defending the “zero covid” strategy?
We cannot live with the situation. We cannot live with this virus. The toll in Australia is 909 dead. In New Zealand, 26. What about us? We cannot accept the tens of thousands of deaths in our countries, we cannot accept to sacrifice our elders. In France, every day, the results remain tragic. It’s the equivalent of two exploding Boeings!
