Where does the “100% effective against lockdown” meme come from?
The quote originates from French Health Minister Olivier Véran on July 8, 2021, during an appearance at a vaccination facility in Paris. While speaking with young citizens and administering doses in front of media cameras, he claimed that vaccines were 95% effective against severe illness and “100% effective against lockdown”. The minister subsequently shared the line on Twitter as an incentive to boost immunization rates. Online users quickly turned the bold claim into a parody of corporate advertising.
