This man had found the scheme to make some money. A German in his sixties was regularly given injections once morest Covid, in order to resell vaccine passes. The fraudster was finally caught by the patrol.
German police in the Magdeburg region in easternGermany, investigated a funny business in recent weeks. It all started with a vaccination center Covid-19 of Saxony which gave the alert. A man in his sixties had been vaccinated several times. The story, which seems implausible, is nevertheless very real. This man went to several centres. At each appointment, he “forgot” his health insurance card, and only completed the blank vaccination document.
Investigators have discovered that the sexagenarian would have received at least 87 injections over several months, reports l’agence Associated Press (AP). In fact, he was engaged in trafficking fake vaccine passes. He was picked up by the police when he came to be vaccinated for the second consecutive day in the same center.

He then managed to remove his name from the file and sold his vaccine passes to “antivax”. A well-oiled mechanism, since he managed to get vaccinated up to three times a day. During his arrest, the police found several blank vaccination records on him. Thanks to these injections, the man received real batch numbers, which he wrote down in the notebooks.

Multiple controls
Still, in recent weeks, the German police have carried out numerous checks in vaccination centers. Indeed, many Germans have refused to be vaccinated despite 130,000 deaths recorded since the appearance of the epidemic at the end of 2019. On the other hand, it was necessary to be able to justify a vaccination schedule to travel, go to restaurants, in cinemas… From then on, the vaccination pass was very coveted, while contaminations had started to rise once more in recent weeks.
Despite a tense situation across the Rhine, with more than 120,000 positive cases in recent days, Germany lifted all its restrictions this Sunday, April 3, 2022. Two weeks following France, it is no longer compulsory to wear a mask nor to present a negative test in restaurants, and the vaccination pass has disappeared.
