A black market in fake vaccination record cards is reaching epidemic proportions online.
Fraudsters have been hawking knock-offs of the three-by-four-inch cards on retail sites including eBay, Etsy and Shopify, as well as on the social media sites Facebook and TikTok, the New York Times reported this week.
The Post, meanwhile, has found dozens of online DIY guides for printing fake vaccination cards at home.
The counterfeiting has ballooned in recent weeks following news that an official vaccination card could soon become a central requirement to travel on airplanes and attend events.
And sellers and buyer are breaking federal law by falsifying vaccine documents and fraudulently reproducing the Center Centers for Disease Control and Prevention logo, which is featured on every card’s upper right hand corner.
In warning that counterfeiters risk prosecution, the Federal Bureau of Investigation advises, “if you did not receive the vaccine, do not buy fake vaccine cards, do not make your own vaccine cards, and do not fill-in blank vaccination record cards with false information.”

Only Yellow Fever is covered under IHR which are adopted by US law, and people who travel within the Yellow Fever area most definitely have to produce a yellow card (or be vaccinated with a dirty needle at destination).
As soon as travel resumes, you can be sure COVID will be covered as well.
Because it hasn't met criteria for EUA, and, since it is already an approved drug, anyone with a license can prescribe it?
Pretty amazing that this response to the government planning on coercing people to get an experimental vaccine of unknown safety and effectiveness is instantly such a high priority, when millions of illegal aliens are using fake documents every day with basically no consequences.
Oh, I agree with you about travel outside the country.
But this idea for travel inside the country or back into public life, or work, or school?
C’mon man this isn’t even an FDA approved vaccine. It is an EUA for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency declaration.
because it doesn’t work nearly as well as the vaccine? because we have several. it’s effective targeted therapies once you are sick?

When they make the real passport, they will cross check vaccine lot #’s against the people claiming to have received that lot. This will do nothing in the long term
I identify as a pregnant illegal alien from Honduras. No bad card for me, stupid gringos...

One of our airlines is having a sale right now, seats as low as 10 Euros each way for flights from 17 May until 31 December. The problem is that your 20 Euro round trip ends up costing you 120-220 Euros depending upon which country you fly to because of mandatory Covid testing. The solution to that is to only go to places within driving distance.
