Germany has a problem with its vaccination logs. They are easy to forge. This in turn attracts criminals who smell the quick buck. A 27-year-old was arrested in Berlin as reported by the “Tages-Anzeiger”. He carried ten vaccination passports, hot off the press, showing that he had been vaccinated twice, with the stamp of the vaccination center, the doctor’s signature and the batch number of the vaccine.
The crook had offered the hot goods for sale in a Telegram chat group for 80 euros (approx. 87 francs) each. In his apartment, the police found another 46 vaccination books and other offenses, as the “Tagi” continues to write.

It is not an isolated case, as the German media write. Several dozen criminals are said to have been arrested in Germany. The number of unreported cases is large. And the counterfeiters are getting more and more creative. They offer to “issue” vaccination records at local vaccination centers or doctors and send them to customers by post.
The empty vaccination booklet can be bought from Amazon or other online retailers for 2.99 to 4.99 euros. The crooks get the information they need, such as stamps, signatures and batch numbers, through vaccinated people, who proudly share it on social media. (pbe)
