Crime FBI warns about penalties for making, using fake COVID-19 vaccination cards - "Violators could face up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine."

As more businesses, schools, and cities begin to require the COVID-19 vaccine, reports are surfacing of fraudsters making, selling, and using fake vaccination cards. This spring, the FBI warned about false vaccination cards for sale that were circulating online.

In July, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of a naturopathic doctor in Northern California. The agency said the doctor gave patients false vaccine cards and homeopathic remedies claiming they would help the body fight off COVID-19.

The DOJ said that misrepresenting the official seal of a U.S. agency, like the CDC logo on vaccine cards, could be a violation of federal law. Violators could face up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine.

Local health officials are encouraging people to take care of their paper vaccine cards, which is currently the best proof of vaccination against the virus.

In a statement, a spokesperson from Ohio Department of Health said:

“It is important to keep updated medical and vaccination records, whether that is for someone’s latest tetanus shot, the shingles vaccine, or their COVID-19 vaccination records. All Ohioans are encouraged to keep track of their COVID-19 vaccination card just like they would any other important medical record. To be clear, the COVID-19 Vaccination Card is currently the standard way to show proof of vaccination if requested by a medical provider or other entity requiring proof of vaccination.”

With more than 600 colleges and universities now requiring proof of COVID-19 inoculations, an online industry has sprung up offering fake vaccine cards. The easy access to fake documents has set off alarms at some schools where officials worry that unvaccinated students with forged credentials might cause an outbreak.

Dozens of students interviewed by The Associated Press said they were aware of fake COVID-19 vaccination cards, though none admitted to actually using one. On the dark web, sellers on websites such as Counterfeit Center, Jimmy Black Market, and Buy Express Documents list COVID-19 vaccine cards, certificates and passports for sale, some costing €400 Euros or about $473 in U.S. dollars.

Meanwhile, some states, businesses, and schools are creating their own verification services, like apps, digital passports, or certificates, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

Lol naturopath.

I'm sure there are real doctors who will be providing real documents with accompanying saline injections for some extra money on the side.

 

[Mealy Mouth Spittle]

So how are they going to verify those paper vaccination cards? They can't do it in real time without causing long lines everywhere. You'll have to hire additional staff to vet those cards ahead of time for schools.

If you do fake it, don't brag about it. Tell no one. Also don't forget that home printers have a unique code that gets applied on every page when you print and can be traced back to your printer.

Voter ID is racist but you better have your official "the government injected me with something" paper if you want to be served.

I cannot wait for the plethora of videos that will come out of cities with ghettos thugs start shooting businesses up for being denied entry due to vaccination status lol

Always fun to use technicalities to threaten citizens for a bullshit requirements to always walk with identification like some totalitarian hellhole.
(CORONA) Papers Please (though Papers Please at least had people own their own house).

 

[Corpun]

They are really going for the Gestapo look now aren't they? When will they declare fake jab passes terrorism and refusing the jab treason?

Uh oh Bella

Isn't there a workaround for this? You just make your own seals that kinda look like the real seals. When some disinterested restaurant barista looks at it, they won't pay any attention to the seals.

 

[Sithis]

Fuck off niggers we already have a fake president, you should worry about that first.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

So where can I get one of these?

No signatures or seals (of the embossed/holographic variety)? Just a logbook? Granted ID numbers and lot numbers are pretty specific, but that's a sanity check, not an authenticity check.

Chinese are the masters at that shit.

Funny how the same crowd who's all about fuck the police and ACAB quake in their boots at the thought of getting caught by the feds.

A YT showed his card from NYC and it was just a piece of paper. It was from earlier in the year so maybe they have made it more complex but I somehow doubt it knowing how retarded the government is.

 

[Lathe]

The harder they squeeze, the more grains of sand slip through their fingers.

 

[Nick Gars]

The more they push "get the jab or else!", the less people who think it's a microchip implant or "the mark of the beast" seem crazy.

They really need to fire their OpSec department.
