Can't see why anyone would have faked their identity when getting the
vaccination.


It's not someone faking their identity when getting vaccinated.


Correct.

It's the ability for someone who hasn't been vaccinated to use someone
else's identity and covid passport to gain access to somewhere that may
require proof of vaccination.


Correct.

How can any member of the general public, a publican, doorman, theatre
ticket seller etc. see that the passport details are for fred and not joe.


Same way they do that when checking that the individual
is old enough to be able to legally be served alcohol or
watch and R rated movie, or buy an R rated video game etc.

Official photo ID in the UK seems to be limited to passports and driving
licences


Yes, but there is no reason why a vaccination
passport cant be done the same way.

and not everyone has these,


Our system allows anyone who needs the same type
of photo ID to have one, for free. Its done by the
same operation that does the driver's licenses.

and does your passport photo actually look like you when viewed in limited
lighting.


Doesnt need to with a digital driver's licence.
