Dozens of New York City teachers placed on unpaid leave for using fake coronavirus vaccine cards

"Fewer than 100? employees submitted the fake vaccination cards, the DOE said Friday. A union official estimated about 70 employees were impacted.

The Department of Education defended its actions in a statement.

"Fraudulent vaccination cards are not only illegal, they also undermine the best line of protection our schools have against COVID-19 -- universal adult vaccination," The Education Department said in a statement. "We immediately moved to put these employees -- fewer than 100 -- on leave without pay."

New York City has engaged in a prolonged legal battle with teachers over its vaccine mandate. The mandate went into effect on Oct. 4, 2021, at the behest of then-Mayor Bill de Blasio. The city required all public school teachers -- in the largest school system in the country -- to receive at least one dose of the vaccine.

I have long suspected that fake vaccine cards are more widespread than we know.

1. 70 out of 135,000 employees. I'm surprised it wasn't more.
