How about this Why not reissue health insurance cards to all that have been vaccinated and include a watermark or trackable member ID for those who participated!

Pfizer EK 5730 12/15/20 Pfizer EL 0410 1/30/21 Use an out of town hospital 80lb cardstock (no gloss) double sided 4.25' x 3.5' Use blue ballpoint pen Your welcome

💉✅I had to validate a CovidVaccine card recently It was easy: Take a photo of the card, & lookup/call the place that administered the shot Give the card holder's birth date & last name, & the date the shot was given 👍🏽😎They will validate over the phone

crush the lies... exposeHATE4PROFIT time to DefundFASCISTS and ALL who support them. Accountability is key in 2021!! Competence is essential in 2022!!!

Real cards have a cdc sticker with a number traceable on it fake ones don’t.

Want people to get the shot? Change the rules effective July 1. If you don’t have the shot and get COVID or give it to someone else, you are personally responsible for all costs. People would flock to get the shot. RepAdamSchiff maddow Lawrence

This is ridiculous. Just get the damn shot! Save the $20, save yourself a potential problem.

NPR: where all Karen’s gather to post online while wearing a mask.

Literally anyone could print one of these out though

KQEDnews CDC should have used a security paper or a specific synthetic paper to print on

People just trying to make money..

typo_cat Isn't there a centralized database with the vaccines recorded? I know I can look up my record on my states immunization database and my vaccines are listed, with date, lot etc. Hopefully this us nationwide.

This was always going to be a problem

Really? Maybe he needs 2 use his talents in a cell

Hahhahahaahhahahahaajahahahahaha. Paying money for a fake certificate for a vaccine that’s FREE! Darwin, do your thing

Hey Airbnb, this guy is one of your hosts

So what yr saying is maybe we shouldn’t be requiring cardboard handwritten COVID cards as proof of vaccination. Shocking🙄

Well, it's pretty elementary typography. It's not like they're watermarked with bamboo threads like a ballot.

Sick people with cards will contaminate others in planes. Sickening

For scientific research...where would one get a phony vaccination card?

LauraWalkerKC Imagine paying $20 for something you can have for free. Who does that?

What is the actual law that is being broken.

What is the point of a fake vaccine card? They should just stand in their idiot truth and not get the vaccine like they said they wouldn't. Buying this is stupid.

Of course it's going to be easy to counterfeit, when me and my wife went to get our second shot there was a person asking for a stack of those cards, the farmacy person said 'why do you need them?' Guy said '... Needs a stack' and he just handed them to that guy. Security? Were?

It's cheaper (free) and easier just to get the damn vaccine. Sheesh people.

Fake ID in a bar I’m shocked

Why is this illegal?

Nail these fuckers.

Are the fake cards printed on bamboo paper? 🤔

Blockchain fix this! VECHAIN VET

You can just print the cards off the internet, it isn't hard. No reason to spend $.

Who pays $20 for a card you can get for free, along with the vaccine?

And *who* didn't see this coming?

Ok fake ids have existed since the beginning of time

I heard the fakes have bamboo in them. 🤷‍♂️ 🤡🤡🤡

I wondered how long it would take for these to make an appearance. LOL! 🤣

Some of my clients report they are readily available in the little local shops catering to immigrants

How do you spot a fake one?

Oh wow that's terrible! Where at online?

What, you mean the 'party of law and order' and 'should have complied' will commit felonies to avoid being mildly inconvenienced SHOCKER.

The vaccine is free and saves lives. Unbelievable.

Is anybody surprised? The only surprise was that they didn't include something forgers can't copy.

If someone uses one and claims to have been immunized for the purpose of traveling by airplane, working with frail people etc. and then causes harm by spreading COVID they should have charges the same as if they deliberately attacked or killed (if victim died) that person.

Going to jail to own the libs

Is this surprising to anyone? They are black print on white bond paper 🙄

Making mandatory vaccinations impossible.

Using a forged card should be a mandatory 1 year in jail, no exceptions. Selling one should be 3 years. No exceptions. This is a matter of life and death.

my body, my choice. right liberals?

This part we botched (Human Race). simple Digital Bar Code unique to you and your vaccine issued from where you received your vaccine was all we needed, and the number of vendors who can do this is staggering. Simple but HUGE mistake. We could still clean this up if we wanted.

The clue they were fake was when they fit in your wallet

First time bust of fraudulent vax card, NPR stunned.

And are people shocked by this. It isn’t like these cards have some kind of security built into them to stop this

Insanity!!!
