A woman with a false vaccination certificate died of a severe form of Covid-19. She had not told the doctors that she was not vaccinated.
- The average number of new daily hospitalizations is 1,120, an increase of more than 40% in the past seven days.
- Per day, there are 243 new critical care entries, an increase of more than 35%.
At the Raymond-Poincaré hospital in Garches, in the Hauts-de-Seine, a 57-year-old woman died of Covid-19 after being admitted to the intensive care unit. The doctors thought she was vaccinated but, in reality, she had a false certificate…”Making a false pass against the Covid, in the period we live in today, is surely not in the interest of the person, highlighted Djillali Annane, head of the resuscitation department of the hospital establishment, on the antenna of RTL. All these people who have a fake health pass, a fake vaccination certificate, are doing themselves a disservice. On the contrary, it can falsely direct the doctor who takes care of them“.
Vaccination, vital information for caregivers
Knowing whether or not a patient is vaccinated against Covid-19 is crucial information for the healthcare team, especially in the event of a serious form like this patient. “Don’t bet on your lifeinsists Djillali Annane. There is information that you cannot hide from your doctor if you want to give yourself every chance when you have been infected with Sars-Cov-2 and develop a severe form. (…) It is fundamental to assume until the end when one decides not to be vaccinated. (…) In a form as presented by this person, who had no medical history and who had a form that had rapidly progressed to severe respiratory impairment, early on he could have been administered neutralizing antibodies, effective in reducing the risk disease progression“. According to the husband of the deceased, it was a doctor who provided him with the false vaccination certificate.
A health risk but also a legal one
Currently, more than 51 million people are fully vaccinated in France, according to the Ministry of Solidarity and Health. Despite the fifth wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, some still remain skeptical and refuse to be vaccinated. To circumvent the system of the health pass – which can be obtained thanks to a vaccination certificate or an antigen or PCR test of less than 24 hours – an undetermined number of patients do not hesitate to use the vaccination certificate of a person around them or fake certificates. Risk-taking on his health, which is not without legal consequences. If a false health pass is used, the individual can face up to five years in prison and a fine of 375,000 euros. On the supplier side, those who sell these fake passes risk a maximum of ten years in prison and a fine of one million euros, in the event that they acted as an organized gang.
A dangerous attitude with the resumption of the epidemic
The health pass gives access to events or places where the risk of being contaminated by Covid-19 is high. By going there without being vaccinated, the individual with a false health pass is therefore exposed to the virus without being protected from it… A dangerous attitude at a time when the epidemic is starting again. In France, the incidence rate is currently 484.56 number of cases per week per 100,000 inhabitants according to the latest figures available and the number of hospitalizations and admissions to critical care has been on the rise for several weeks.
