Indian officials said that thousands of people were given fake coronavirus vaccines at scam inoccuation drives, CNN reported on Monday.

CNN News affiliate News 18 reported that the scam vaccinations centers took place during late May and early June, with authorities beginning their investigation after some of the scam victims became suspicious of the vaccination certificates they got.

A resident told the news source that one of the fake vaccine drives took place at a housing society where they had to pay cash and no one got any symptoms.

Mumbai Police Department senior official Vishal Thakur told CNN that 12 fake vaccination sites had been held in the city, saying that the fake doctors were using saline water to inject their victims.

Thakur said that an estimated 2,500 people received fake vaccine shots with the organizers making $28,000 in charged fees, according to CNN.

This comes as India has battled the second wave of the virus, which infected millions of people and killed tens of thousands of others, for nearly three months.

Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a centralized vaccine drive where the government will provide free vaccinations for citizens, CNN reported.

Thakur told CNN that they have arrested 14 people on suspicion of cheating, attempts at culpable homicide, criminal conspiracy, and other charges in the vaccination scam

"We have arrested doctors," Thakur said. "They were using a hospital which was producing the fake certificates, vials, syringes."

If one gets sick from the “vaccine” then they say, “see, it’s working”.

"and no one got any symptoms"

I would guess the person meant adverse side effects they expected.

Keep in mind the vaccine is experimental.

The thousands in India got the placebo. They are the control group.

Biden’s fault. He’s got to be behind this.

(After all, they incorrectly blamed President Trump for everything. Fair is fair.)

I think that is going on even in supoosed real clinics in all countries. Experimental drug studies ( as this “vaccine” stuff is) is usually done with some getting varying doses and some getting placebo. no surprise really, except usually the participants get paid daily for each day in the study.

I'm thinking they got unannounced control groups and for VIP publicity doses. From there it gets more diabolical. This is the 4th location caught doing it as far as I know.

Pelosi got a fake shot. It was a spring loaded needle with no medicine.
