‘AntiVaxMomma’ accused of selling bogus vaccination cards

NEW YORK (AP) — A New Jersey woman calling herself the AntiVaxMomma on Instagram sold several hundred fake COVID-19 vaccination cards at $200 a pop to New York City-area jab dodgers, including people working in hospitals and nursing homes, prosecutors said Tuesday.

For an extra $250, a second scammer would then enter a bogus card buyer’s name into a New York state vaccination database, which feeds systems used to verify vaccine status at places they’re required, such as concerts and sporting events, prosecutors said.

Jasmine Clifford, of Lyndhurst, New Jersey, was charged Tuesday with offering a false instrument, criminal possession of a forged instrument and conspiracy. Authorities say she sold about 250 fake vaccine cards in recent months.

Clifford’s alleged co-conspirator, Nadayza Barkley, of Bellport, Long Island, did not enter a plea an an arraignment Tuesday morning in Manhattan criminal court on charges of offering a false instrument and conspiracy.

1. Paying $450 To Break The Fucking Law

I already knew that Human Life wasn't a good enough reason to get vaccinated, but apparently Money isn't either.

3. I'm sure she will get a

ticket and 50.00 dollar fine. And promise to continue to squawk her bullshit to her idiot followers.

5. This is a federal crime as well as a state crime, as the linked article says.

If the feds make this a priority, the crime carries an up to 5 year sentence.

4. At the very least she should be made to pay the $45k back. nt

7. It's especially a problem when the vaccinated

people ask if someone else is fully vaccinated (especially a healthcare worker or educator, etc) and they lie and show you their vaccination card.

I imagine that must happen sometimes.
