“A forged certificate kills, that’s the reality,” the minister stressed.
Addressing members of the French parliament, Veran said 5% of Covid-19 patients in French hospitals had forged certificates stating that they had started or completed a vaccination course.
It has been scientifically proven that a full course of vaccination and receiving a vaccine does not prevent infection with Covid-19, but it does reduce the chance of a serious illness.
This is also confirmed by the latest data from the French Ministry of Health. Information collected in December showed that unvaccinated people were 38.22 times more likely to be hospitalized after receiving a positive Covid-19 test than those who were fully vaccinated and vaccinated.
Data collected up to 19 December show that 22.4% of the French population are unvaccinated, but 62.1% of non-vaccinated Covid-19 patients are hospitalized.
Unofficial data suggest that as many as 80% of Covid-19 patients in intensive care units have not been vaccinated. For example, in a Marseilles hospital, doctors say 90% of intensive care patients have not been vaccinated.
Health Minister Veran told reporters on December 27 that 80% of Covid-19 patients in intensive care units had not been vaccinated against the virus, and nearly 90% of the remaining 20% had immune problems.
Official data from France, published in December, shows that unvaccinated people are four times more likely to die from Covid-19 than people who have been vaccinated and received a booster vaccine. However, the statistics do not fully reflect the effects of the vaccines, as until mid-December in France only those aged 65 and over had received the primary vaccine.
