Victims of COVID-19 'vaccine' scam will get refunds

The maker of a so-called COVID-19 "vaccine" will repay his victims and, after a suit by Attorney General Bob Ferguson, is permanently barred from marketing vaccines without evidence and testing.

Under a legally binding agreement, Redmond area resident Johnny T. Stine and his firm, North Coast Biologics, are prohibited from marketing future vaccines without rigorous testing and sound scientific evidence.

The agreement comes just over a week after the Attorney General's office filed a lawsuit, and less than two months after Ferguson sent Stine a "cease-and-desist order" to stop marketing the alleged vaccine.

Stine will pay $8,500 to the state for the cost of suing him, plus an additional $30,000 providing he lives up to the agreement. The AG's office will reach out to those who purchased the "vaccine" and facilitate refunds. Thirty victims stand to get back $12,000.

"Mr. Stine marketed a false vaccine when Washingtonians felt particularly vulnerable. "That's not only morally wrong, it's illegal," Ferguson said in a statement. "The resolution ensures Mr. Stine refunds the individuals he swindled. He will pay an even steeper cost if he ever tries this again."
