A Chicago pharmacist was arrested for allegedly selling COVID-19 vaccine cards on eBay to unvaccinated buyers for $10 each

Tangtang Zhao, a 34-year-old licensed pharmacist from Chicago, was arrested Tuesday on charges related to selling 125 authentic CDC vaccination cards to unvaccinated buyers on eBay.

The pharmacy where Zhao previously worked offered COVID-19 vaccinations, providing Zhao with easy access to the CDC's white COVID-19 vaccine cards. He allegedly charged buyers approximately $10 per card and sold them online — leading to an indictment of 12 counts of government property theft.

"I don't know. Don't they take your personal data ie name, address, phone number, date of birth when you vaccinate and put it in a database?"

what database? who accesses the database? how many states participate in this database?

the door person at a restaurant, the clerk at a grocery store are going to check dozens of different unconnected databases for each and every person that walks through their doors?

common sense tells us that there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions of “legit” cards that were obtained and simply filled out with not difficult to find information.

then, they just take a pic of it and store that on their phone. there are few locations in the country that will not accept a photo of someone’s “card” on their phone as proof. NYC is the obvious exception to that at the moment, and the lawsuits against them are just starting to pile up.

someone at a restaurant, or a door person at a sporting event, etc. asks for “proof”, they look at the pic on the phone and wave the person in. there is no practical way for them to verify what they are looking at.

there is no way people in situations like that are going to either stop the person/line of people, bring up a computer search of some “database” somewhere that isn’t used/connected to all 50 states, to check each and every card.

the only chance this has of being "legitimate" on a countrywide basis is if they go to some kind of scannable id (not a piece of paper that is written on) that can be swiped on a P.O.S. system that checks against a central database (or a limited number of db’s) that’s used by all states...and returns a result of real/fake in a matter of seconds.

that kind of system is a very long way away, if ever (red states going to agree with blue states on this?) and by then a dozen or more lawsuits will have made it to the Supreme Court regarding personal health information, privacy issues among a plethora of other related issues.

I didn't take the jab so I don't know what information they ask.

I read if you avail yourself to get the jab, they'll ask you at least, full name, date of birth, address with ZIP, telephone number, e-mail address. You'll be given a index card size vaccine password but there's also optional digital vaccine passport in to your smartphone if you wish to make easier to enter establishments that require vaccine. Digital vaccine passport, you don't know who'll access, but you just lost your privacy!

There might be a "digital vaccine passport" for some people out there, but that is the exception, not the rule as of now and I honestly believe there will be enough HE!! raised outside blue cities/states, that a nationwide "digital vaccine passport" will not come to fruition. If it does, we might as well roll over on vote fraud while we're at it.

"Digital vaccine passport, you don't know who'll access, but you just lost your privacy!"

You also don't know who will access your health care record, with or without any injections. You also don't know who will access your financial information either.

Not everyone who has gotten the injection(s) has been reported to the CDC's IIS.

Think VAERS.

Healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS vaccine adverse event(s). Yet, only ~1% are recorded. How can that be, if there is a law that requires reporting? Simple. Humans are involved. There are a myriad of reasons events aren't submitted to the database (ex. laziness, tired and overworked staff, ignorance of the law etc. etc.)

So back to your question in post #11. No, not everyone who has gotten the injection, has been entered into IIS.
Again, any random restaurant out there (aside from NYC) has no way to verify your paper card information or a pic of it on your phone, unless they stop everyone at the door, contact CDC by phone (hope that someone answers) and says....hey...I'm Joe from the Bistro and I'm calling to check on the vaccination status of this person I don't know, who's standing in my restaurant doorway. Can I let them eat in my restaurant or not?

Same goes for large venues, even more so.

It a joke, and a bad one at that.

And FWIW, I haven't gotten the injection either. We've already had covid in our house back in Dec 2020, and only 1 of the 5 of us got it.
