BERLIN (AP) — A 60-year-old man allegedly had himself vaccinated against COVID-19 dozens of times in Germany in order to sell forged vaccination cards with real vaccine batch numbers to people not wanting to get vaccinated themselves.

The man from the eastern Germany city of Magdeburg, whose name was not released in line with German privacy rules, is said to have received up to 90 shots against COVID-19 at vaccination centers in the eastern state of Saxony for months until criminal police caught him earlier this month, the German news agency dpa reported Sunday.
The suspect was not detained but is under investigation for unauthorized issuance of vaccination cards and document forgery, dpa reported.
He was caught at a vaccination center in Eilenburg in Saxony when he showed up for a COVID-19 shot for the second day in a row. Police confiscated several blank vaccination cards from him and initiated criminal proceedings.
It was not immediately clear what kind of impact the approximately 90 shots of COVID-19 vaccines, which were from different brands, had on the man’s personal health.
German police have conducted many raids in connection with forgery of vaccination passports in recent months. Many COVID-19 deniers refuse to get vaccinated in Germany, but at the same want to have the coveted COVID-19 passports that make access to public life and many venues such as restaurants, theaters, swimming pools or work places much easier.
Germany has seen high infection numbers for weeks, yet many measures to reign in the pandemic ended on Friday. Donning masks is no longer compulsory in grocery stores and most theaters but it is still mandatory on public transportation.
In most schools across the country, students also no longer have to wear masks, which has led teachers’ associations to warn of possible conflicts in class.
“There is now a danger that, on the one hand, children who wear masks will be teased by classmates as wimps and overprotective or, on the other hand, pressure will be exerted on non-mask wearers,” Heinz-Peter Meidinger, the president of the German Teachers’ Association, told dpa. He advocated a voluntary commitment by teachers and students to continue wearing masks in class and on school grounds, at least until the country goes on a two-week Easter holiday..
Health experts say the most recent surge of infections in Germany — triggered by the BA.2 omicron subvariant— may have peaked.
On Sunday, the country’s disease control agency reported 74,053 new COVID-19 infections, less than a week ago, when the Robert Koch Institute registered 11,224 daily infections. However, usually the number of reported infections is lower on weekends.
Overall, Germany has registered 130,029 COVID-19 deaths.

“Many COVID-19 deniers refuse to get vaccinated in Germany…”
First, the Covid shots are not “vaccines”, at least not under the historical definition of “vaccine”.
The AP here is implying that those who refuse the shots (which admittedly don’t stop infection and don’t stop transmission) are “denying Covid”. In other words, the only reason that one would not take the shots is if one “denies Covid”.
Of course, refusal to get “vaccinated” has nothing to do with “denying Covid”. They are certainly aware of Covid and do not deny the existence of Covid.
They also very likely have already gotten Covid (another potential reason to not get the shots, incidentally); if so, they would then be very much aware of Covid.
Rather, their refusal to get the shots has to do with…the shots which, in plain reality, have zero long-term safety data. It has nothing to do with being “Covid deniers”.
The AP is disgusting.
In no time Faucci followers will have as many vacs
So, according to all the scientifically illiterate anti-vaxx, pro-covid geniuses tenth grade mesivta drop outs sharing the latest shtissim they hear on Tucker News and from other mikveh neias mimichim, this Deutschbag should have died of heart failure 12 times by now, grown three extra heads with nine extra eyes each, be blind in all of them, be bald except the hair that has sorted to grow on the palms of his hands (all 17 of them) on the bottom of his feet (that are now size 27 1/2,the right one extra narrow, the left one 4E) on his tongue and on a few of his foreheads.
so there are righteous Germans after all
