Napa doctor arrested for selling fake COVID-19 vaccines, immunization cards, DOJ says

NAPA, Calif. (KGO) -- A Napa doctor was arrested Wednesday on fraud-related charges after she allegedly sold fake COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination cards to patients, the Department of Justice announced.

Juli A. Mazi, a licensed homeopathic doctor, allegedly sold homeoprophylaxis immunization pellets that she said contained COVID-19. She allegedly told the victims that the immunization would create an antibody reaction in the immune system.

The Justice Department said Mazi then sent COVID-19 vaccination cards to the families and instructed them on how to fill out the cards as if they received Moderna doses.

"This defendant allegedly defrauded and endangered the public by preying on fears and spreading misinformation about FDA-authorized vaccinations, while also peddling fake treatments that put people's lives at risk. Even worse, the defendant allegedly created counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination cards and instructed her customers to falsely mark that they had received a vaccine, allowing them to circumvent efforts to contain the spread of the disease," Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco said in a statement.

According to the Justice Department, the woman also claimed her vaccinations would provide "lifelong immunity" to the virus.

1. too close to home, so glad they bustet her ass

I hope she's kept in detainment awaiting trial.

[Tree Lady]

13. When I saw title I had to read

My mom and some other family got their vaccine in napa.

[msfiddlestix]

14. I'm in Sonoma. Got vaxxed at the fairgrounds in Santa Rosa

Grace Pavilion (Santa Rosa Fairgrounds) sponsored by Safeway and AT&T .. very well organized and it was very obviously not a fraudulent operation. Would have went with Kaiser, but they were too damn slow in scheduling.

One of the earliest Insurrectionists arrested was a Napa County resident. I know there are a number of White Supremacists that live in the area, as well as here. Even though we significantly outnumber these wack jobs, it still gives me pause they exist here at all.

I mean seriously, how in the hell did she think she'd get away with this con job? Just another delusional wack job.

[Tree Lady]

23. I am just glad they caught her!

Lucky you! I always wanted to live in Sonoma, I was raised in Napa and lived for many years in Santa Rosa. We ended up in Oregon but I love that town. My father and I would meet at the square and feed the ducks.

[msfiddlestix]

26. I actually live in Cotati... we have chickens and roosters xing signs near the intersection of 116

and Redwood Hwy. They roost at Walgreens and Peet's Coffee. New comers complain, but these amazing fouls have made this spot their home for decades, long before Peet's Coffee came along. Peet's customers gonna have to just get over it.

Cotati enjoys an especially moderate micro climate, which generally maintains a bit cooler temperatures during the summer, and a bit warmer in the winter than the central and inland regions in Sonoma County. The town of Sonoma is generally about 10 degrees hotter in the summer, which is ok, until triple digit heat waves hits Santa Rosa is always hotter than Cotati as well.

So far this summer we've only had to endure very few hot days, the hottest reached 99 here, 104 in Santa Rosa, but that was like one day a couple of weeks ago or so. So grateful we haven't yet been subjected to the unthinkable temps in Oregon and the rest of the North Western states. If you're in central Oregon, you must have suffered through some very difficult weeks, I hope it's behind you.

The rest of the season is before us, and just grateful we've been ok so far, considering the horrific drought. Our watershed is depleting so quickly and I'm seeing new homes popping everywhere, so insane.

[Tree Lady]

27. That is the town I would swing through

On short cut in country or I have listened to music there a few times.

It is much hotter than it use to be, as a child you would always need a jacket on most summer nights when the coastal winds came in.

[msfiddlestix]

28. indeed. actually we've had the most unusual chilly and very breezy afternoons into the evening

nearly everyday since spring, and it hasn't let up. While the population here is quite use to dressing in layers during normal summers, this is beyond normal. Down right chilly lots of afternoons. I complain until I realize triple digits might be around the corner.

Not asking your age, but were you around back in the glory days of the Inn of the Beginning? Greatful Dead, Jefferson Starship, etc etc.?

The sign is still up, but the last business (Friar Tucks) got shut down for repeatedly violating covid-19 restrictions. Really miss them.

Don't forget your jacket when you swing by again! I live a block away from "downtown" ...

[Tree Lady]

29. I graduated in 74 so yes

But didn't hang in that area until much later, too broke to go out in my 20's lol.

I went to Grateful Dead concert in 72 in San Francisco.

[msfiddlestix]

30. I moved here from the south in 71, fell madly love with this area

and been here pretty much since.

I couldn't afford anything in my twenties, but somehow I got into the Inn for free... don't remember ever paying, come to think of it. I was way too broke and couldn't possibly afford to. No bouncers that I can recall either. But that was a long time ago, memory does tend to be a bit foggy on certain details. especially considering the times, probably stoned as hell.

2. Lock her up

It amazes me the depth trained medical people behave.

[riversedge]

3. damn.......this doc was on a deadly roll...............

............"This defendant allegedly defrauded and endangered the public by preying on fears and spreading misinformation about FDA-authorized vaccinations, while also peddling fake treatments that put people's lives at risk.

Monaco said in a statement.

According to the Justice Department, the woman also claimed her vaccinations would provide "lifelong immunity" to the virus.

"To encourage customers to purchase the pellets, Mazi allegedly exploited disinformation and fear by falsely claiming that the FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines contain 'toxic ingredients,'" officials said in a statement.

Court documents also allege the woman provided vaccines for childhood illnesses that she claimed would meet California's immunization requirements for schools. The Justice Department said she then provided fake vaccine cards to parents who submitted them to California schools.

[malaise]

6. Revoke her license

And then send her to prison for attempted murder

[ornotna]

4. A dangerous kook

Mazi was investigated after a complaint to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from a person whose family members purchased products from her in April. According to court documents, the complainant said Mazi told family members her homeprophylaxis pellets contained the COVID-19 virus and would create an antibody response in their immune systems.

Throw the book at her. She's a danger to society.

[lagomorph777]

19. Is Mazi a Nazi?

She seems to be pushing the same agenda as today's Nazi MAGATs.

Ironically, selling death to MAGATs might be interpreted as eugenics.

[USALiberal]

5. Key word is "homeopathic"!! Nt

[Brother Buzz]

8. These 'magical' pellets were slick homeopathic hokum

But the wire fraud, the patently false claims, and the forged vaccination cards was a bridge to far.

[marble falls]

7. But she was just so good with the kids ...

?w=420

[lindysalsagal]

9. WTF is a "licensed homeopathic doctor"???

You're either a doc, you aren't.

[LifeLongDemocratic]

10. DO

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. They go to separate schools to become Osteopathic Doctor and are your flunkies (C's in college) who could not get into real medical school to become an MD (medical doctor). It is a fraud and people actual go to them as if they are real medical doctors. I went to one years ago with a serious medical condition and he told me to take Sudafed.

[Horse with no Name]

11. DO's are licensed physicians and are equal to MD's

Now you might have encountered a quack but it has nothing to do with his licensure.

[LifeLongDemocratic]

12. They are not equal

DO's are not equal to MD's nor should they be. You have to be smart to become an MD but not to become a DO. Anyone can go to DO school and that is scary.

[msfiddlestix]

16. I use to think one would have to be smart, but then came along Ronnie Jackson

The TFG's former MD, now a dumb as rocks jackass Congress Cretin.

Oh lordy, lordy... have mercy.

[obamanut2012]

17. Yes, they are medical doctors, what are you talking about???

My DO has an MD from Duke, and interned at Carolina and she did her residency at Thomas Jefferson. How about your doctor?Where did she go?

[LifeLongDemocratic]

21. Then he an MD and a DO

She must have gone to DO school and then went to medical school for her MD. She must consider herself an MD and not a DO since the DO is more a stigma than the actual MD.

[Sgent]

25. The only for profit medical schools

are Caribbean MD schools. Entrance requirements at DO schools tend to be slightly below MD, but by .2 gpa and within .10 SD on the MCAT. They are by no means easy to get into. Further, DO's are present in every specialty in medicine from internal medicine, to neurosurgery.

[obamanut2012]

15. My Do graduated from Duke Medical School

A DO isn't a homeopathic doctor. They are a medical doctor.

[hunter]

22. That's complete bullshit. Homeopaths are not licensed to practice medicine in California.

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine are licensed and must complete the same licensing requirements as M.D.s.

In the U.S.A. the distinction between M.D.s and D.O.s is mostly a historical anachronism. The two philosophies of medicine converged as medical practice became more scientifically orientated in the twentieth century. (Nineteenth century medicine was hideous...)

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine are, however, generally limited to primary care specialties.

Homeopathic doctors are similar to hair dressers, chiropractors, or acupuncturists, but unlike those professions, they are NOT licensed.

In California homeopaths are required by law to inform their patients that they are NOT licensed physicians. Some of them have licenses in other fields; as counselors, etc..

In the bad old days neither medical doctors or osteopathic doctors did surgery because it was too dangerous. The barber-surgeons, mostly jaded military men, did that because they had the sharpest blades and the better eye-hand coordination.

Lacking scientific knowledge the original osteopaths tried to fix people by physical manipulation. Medical doctors tried to fix people with potions. The barber-surgeons tried to fix people with knives.

[lagomorph777]

18. Should have been a tip-off that an auto parts store is selling vaccines.

[Brother Buzz]

20. I believe it was the lightbulb store

And this was where the orange anus learned about alternative cures for Covid, like shoving....

[gratuitous]

24. Just get the damn shot, people

Bad enough to have people turning down a free vaccine because they're fucking stupid, but to pay some quack for useless (it is to be hoped) pills and then phony up a vaccination card, just boggles the mind.
