Internet crooks, medical staff … For those resistant to vaccination, all means are good to obtain a false health pass. A practice that is not without risks, especially for health.
At Antibes hospital (Alpes-Maritimes), the phenomenon is growing. In the past 10 days, four patients with Covid-19 have presented themselves with fake health passes. Patients whose profile immediately puts the chip in the ear to doctors: “These are people who have serious covid, and who arrive in the emergency room (…) people vaccinated with a complete vaccination schedule and who have serious forms as we have seen at 50 and 60 years old, and quite simply that does not exist“, explains Dr. Éric Réau, hospital practitioner in the hospital emergency room.
And the outcome can be fatal: a 57-year-old woman died of the covid at Garches hospital (Hauts-de Seine) because, not having detected the deception in time, the doctors were unable to administer an appropriate treatment. Also watch out for accounts on social networks that promise a fake pass. The price: a three-dose pass for 150 euros, but without having the guarantee of having the pass. Also, some call for the complicity of health personnel. In Béziers (Occitanie) last June, a nurse faked an injection to someone she knew. They were arrested. Prosecuted for fraud, the nurse faces five years in prison, and three years for her patient and tens of thousands of euros in fines.
