The owner of a Northern California bar was arrested on suspicion of selling fake COVID-19 vaccination cards to several undercover state agents for $20 each.

CLEMENTS, Calif. —

After receiving a tip, undercover agents with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control went to Old Corner Saloon in the city of Clements several times in April and bought fake laminated vaccination cards, officials said. They returned to the small-town bar this week and saw others buy the phony cards and arrested the bar’s owner, supervising agent Luke Blehm told Sacramento news stationIt wasn’t immediately known if the bar owner, Todd Anderson, has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. No one answered the phone at the bar Friday.“He was in possession of a number of other unfilled-out COVID-19 vaccination cards, a laminating machine, laminate and several other cards that were finished.

Anderson was charged with three felonies, including identity theft, forging government documents and carrying an unregistered firearm. He also was charged with falsifying medical records, a misdemeanor.Vaccination cards are being used as a pass for people to attend large gatherings. The European Union is considering allowing tourists who can prove they have been vaccinated.

In California, officials have allowed venue operators to offer easier access to those with proof of vaccination. That includes preferential access to large events like concerts and sporting events and allowing venues to create vaccinated-only sections where social distancing requirements are not as strict.

I have my vaccination card and video evidence just in case! receipts FullyVaccinated

Oh Lord, he will be stuck in Lodi.....😊

Ahhh slow af. Covid got err body tryna find a way

Is it a case of human nature at its finest. Covid19 has become a human catastrophe for all of us. Yet he's the courage to fraudulently benefit out of our health miseries.

Welcome to the Soviet Union.

Oh c'mon, if there dumb enough to buy them let them lol...

Looking at multiple serious felonies for each fake card in their possession. Fraudulent use of government seal, medial record fraud and identify theft. Plus ABC will likely immediately suspend liquor license pending resolution of charges. FakeVaxCards are serious. Don’t play.

I hope they book the people who bought them too, dumbasses

Apparently Donald Trump found a new job.

Why are people so fucking shitty.

thats so fucked up.. y would he price them at $20?

That bar owner should be ashamed of himself.

Good. Arrest them all.

MAGATS want all the privileges and freedoms of society without taking any responsibility for securing and protecting that society. The don’t want to pay taxes but want paved roads and schools. They won’t get vaccinated against Covid-19 but want to walk, work, and play amongst us.

The buyers should be penalized too bc F them for endangering others.

That's the genius of the BillGates IMPLANTS!

Lol.

Could someone explain why a fake covid card is worth $20? Just get the fvcking vaccine!!

As soon as we start passing on the health care costs and lost earning of people infected due to these fake cards to the seller and purchaser, they will slow down. Some folks only respond to consequences.

Can we just blame this on Nevada and let them take the L? If anyone has ever been to Clement, Ca it feels like Idaho and South Dakota had a child.

The vax is free you dumb idiots. Get the damn shot

here we go with this nonsense

40 years in jail.

Damn I should have gotten one smh 🤣

People are the freaking worst. Anyone can go get the dam vaccine for free. We live among the dumbest people alive. People are dying by the thousands in India and here we have the cure and still people won’t take it. The dumbest people.

Soon, none of this will matter.

Spending money on a fake vaccine card (for a free vaccine) to own the LIBS!

This is happening everywhere

Meanwhile, Donald Trump remains outside of prison despite the fact that over 550,000 Americans have died within the past year thanks to his borderline psychotic mishandling of Covid-19.

It's almost as if we should have digital vaccination records, too...

So they’re checking....

So you can go get the vaccination card for free and save your $20 by going and getting vaccinated. Which is also free.

How dumb is that. The vaccines are FREE.

Better sales than crack now I bet under a Democratic state
