If it would be only medical data you are correct! But, and here a big 
but,
this medical data contains the full name and birthday of the certificate
holder *digitally signed* by EU *authorities* in this field while the 
cert
holder had to show his *valid* ID-card to the issuer.

As I said a duplicate key is not meant for keyserver distribution and
if this should happen by accident, well than it happened. No one can
be sued about this. It is or was only said in some news that one should
not publish such QR-codes on social media.
