Fifteen people were charged Tuesday in what the Manhattan District Attorney's office called a fake vaccine card conspiracy.
Among those charged is a woman who allegedly sold 250 fake cards on Instagram, believed to be among the first alleged seller of phony vaccine cards charged in the country.
Officials say 31-year-old Jasmine Clifford sold the forged cards over social media and worked with 27-year-old Nadayza Barkley to fraudulently enter at least 10 people into the New York State Immunization Information System database.
Thirteen people who purchased the cards -- all of whom are believed to work in frontline and essential-employee settings, including hospitals and nursing homes - were also charged.
Here's hoping that, if the charges are proved, that they all get hit with the maximum.
Another idiot, who faked her way into Hawaii with a forged vaccination card, is facing a year in jail. The story lists other idiots who were caught on entry.

My first thought on receiving my card was "anyone could just scan and print these things". Even something simple like a hologram sticker would have been a bit of a deterrent.
While I am not a fan of vaccination, I agree with you Ms Misfit.
"A year in jail", ok. Is that in Hawaii or in the perps home state? And, they surely are going to wish they were vaccinated when they move to the Graybar hotel.
Maybe when they catch it, they can get some wormer in their jail.

Hummmmmm. Step One - Vaccinate them, using J&J vaccine (one shot, fastest way to result). Step Two - Advertise said action Step Three - Set up a shitload of honeypot fake vaccine card offers, and make it very public Step Four - Arrest anyone who shows up to collect their fake vaccine card (or signs for it) and immediately vaccinate them. Step Five - Publicize that Rinse, Repeat.
If viruses and other microorganisms could talk, they’d be against vaccination as well.
