For almost two years now, Martin Blachier has been part of the media landscape of this health crisis. His daily life was turned upside down and the doctor was even attacked in the middle of the street. He tells the terrifying tale to Gala.
For almost two years, Martin Blachier has achieved strong popularity. Emblematic and media figure of this health crisis, the epidemiologist is everywhere. Reassuring about the Omicron variant on the set of his friend Pascal Praud, then not sparing some of his colleagues or even the choices of Emmanuel Macron, on BFMTV, the doctor from Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines makes his vision known to the French almost daily. And this popularity is not without having turned the daily life of this father of three children upside down. He even confides in the columns of Gala, on newsstands this Thursday, January 13, having been assaulted in the middle of the street.
He walked their children, aged 9, 6, and 5, when he was “attack“.”It was a few months ago, when I said that we had to go further in the vaccination, explains Martin Blachier. The people were disgruntled.“The epidemiologist obviously prefers to put things into perspective. And his notoriety has fortunately had no impact among those close to him. If his parents and sisters watch him on TV”with an amused eye“, his new companion – It is divorced – is also in the media.
A 100% medical family
What about his children ? With his ex-wife, Martin Blachier has always made sure that they are not very concerned by the Covid. “Odon’t talk about it, they don’t watch me on tv, we try to keep them out of the epidemic“Says the man at the head of Public Health Expertise. Children with good medical support since their mother is a doctor, as is the latter’s new companion. And like the famous epidemiologist, all are d ‘okay for “leave the children alone“.
