Jasmine Clifford, aka @AntivaxMomma, allegedly used her Instagram account to sell forged COVID vaccine cards to 250 people, including 13 frontline workers in hospitals and nursing homes.
.........................................
Clifford began advertising the counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination cards through her Instagram account, which is no longer active, in May, according to the Manhattan district attorneys office. The cards cost $200 and buyers used CashApp or Zelle to pay for them, prosecutors said. For another $250, Clifford allegedly worked with Nadayza Barkley, a 27-year-old medical clinic employee in Patchogue, New York, to fraudulently enter at least 10 people into the New York State Immunization Information System database.
Prosecutors said Clifford, 31, sold about 250 cards via Instagram. Additional charges were also filed Monday against 15 people involved in the fake vaccination card scheme.
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has called on Facebook, which owns Instagram, to do a better job of policing this kind of potentially deadly fraud.
Not surprisingly, the Zuckerberg empire claims to be on top of the matter but it didnt remove Cliffords account until August, The New York Times reported. But now Zuckerberg, Inc. promises to do better in the future.

(8,037 posts)considering that this is potentially life threatening to some of us, I hope the penalty will fit the alleged crime.
Someone with a compromised immune system might well be duped into entering an environment where everyone is certified to be vaccinated, only to be exposed to someone shedding potentially fatal loads of the virus.
This is on a par with selling phony chemotherapy meds or non-functioning epipens. It could cost some innocent person his or her life.

(34,131 posts)"Why bother getting the vaccine? People are getting Covid who are fully vaccinated. I have to wonder, are they?"
If the official databases are wrong and many of those who are getting Covid spent money on fraudulent cards and data entries, I wonder how many of the "breakthrough" vaccinated cases were never vaxxed at all?

(2,429 posts)When vaccines are shipped in their 5-6 dose vials, in boxes of 10 vials or so. Along with are ancillary kits and about 10-20 times more vaccine cards than the number of doses...
This is a huge part of the problem.
