In addition to the name and date of birth, people could learn on the covid passport that Macron was vaccinated with Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines, and especially the passport had a QR code, which people could prove in cafes or restaurants, where confirmation of vaccination (or covid ) must be required by the operator before entry.

The authenticity of the passport was also confirmed to AFP by a close associate of Macron, who did not wish to be named. He added that the card was apparently sent out by the medics either negligently or maliciously.

Every medical professional has access to a central computer that contains information about all vaccinated French people.

The National Health Insurance Company (CNAM) said on Thursday that the medics who had let Macron’s ID escaped had abused their powers and had already been identified. At the very least, they face fines from the supervisory authorities.

Macron is not the first French politician to have escaped the covid passport. The same thing happened to the French Prime Minister Jean Castex a few days ago. In his case, however, no health care worker failed. A skilled computer user managed to scan his ID card thanks to a photograph showing his passport. Both Macron and Castex have already received new QR codes.
