The Suffolk County Attorney’s Office has launched an investigation after nurses sold counterfeit vaccination cards to undercover officers.
According to the indictment, the nurses sold thousands of counterfeit cards for $ 220 to $ 440 for adults and at a discount of $ 85 for children.
Selling cards, allegedly women added information to the New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS).
“I hope this sends a message to others who are watching the game in the system that they will be caught and that we will comply with the law to the fullest,” said Raymond Tearney, Suffolk County.
They must also arrest every person who has purchased a fake vaccine card. #LockThemUp

I assume they will also immediately lose their nursing licenses.

What an insult to all the dedicated hardworking nurses exhausted for caring for the sick and afflicted patients with COVID-19.

Stop it, tune. Partners would not need these cards if they were not forced to choose, live their lives, or make an experimental and clearly ineffective injection.
