Arcom was alerted to a segment concerning a testimonial on the adverse effects of vaccination against Covid-19 shown on the program Touche pas à mon poste ! on April 6, 2022 on C8.

She considered that the comments made by the speakers on set formed part of a public debate and had not exceeded the limits of freedom of expression, which, according to the established case law of the European Court of Human Rights, applies " not only to information or ideas that are favorably received or regarded as inoffensive or as a matter of indifference, but also to those that offend, shock or disturb the State or any section of the population ".

It also noted that different points of view had been expressed.

Consequently, the Authority did not take any action against the service editor.
