VACCINATION WITHOUT INJECTION: JOURNALISTS DETECTED FAKE COVID-19 VACCINATION

Black market for the sale of certificates of vaccination against COVID-19 has been detected in Russia. The price of such a purchase reaches 20 thousand rubles, and the data on the vaccination are officially reflected on the State Services website.

A journalist from Baza media conducted an investigation by contacting telegram chats with a request to sell a certificate of vaccination against Covid-19. Ten sellers responded to the offer.

According to Baza, now dealers are able not only to issue certificates, but also to enter the relevant data into a special register of vaccinated people.

Information about vaccination appears in the personal profile of the State Services website, and the certificate is issued after 21 days, after ‘the second’ injection.

In order to ‘carry out’ the vaccination, dealers ask for passport data, SNILS and a client's account confirmed on the State Services portal. At the same time, for a doctor, the procedure for such vaccination looks the same – the only difference is that the person does not come to the medical institution, and the dose of vaccine is poured into the sink.

It is curious that, according to the media reports, confidence in the domestic vaccine is not great in the medical environment. According to an employee of one of the medical institutions, the head physician allegedly announced the possibility of fake vaccination for relatives and just acquaintances of medical workers.
