Would not matter - today the technology on Photoshop could do away with that signature.

Not the sticker though. I have a feeling even though what he was doing wasn't legal, the penalties for actually creating a fraudulent card would be worse. And they wouldn't stand up to scrutiny if they were run through some computer system, because the lot numbers, store they were administered in etc can't be the same in a lot of different cards.

I wonder if the level of fraudulent cards out there - and make no mistake about it, you can be sure that there are A LOT out there - will render vaccination cards useless in general.

The only way to ensure valid results would be to start all over again this time using a biometic scan for ID verification purposes. You think people would buy into that or maybe it's time to just drop these requirements and let people decide with their own doctors whether or not they should get vaccinated.

They are all online anyway. I downloaded an app the state recommended and when I put my name and ss in my vaccination record popped up automatically. So that will probably be the future. But that’s why I said the fake cards will not stand up to scrutiny if they just put your name in the data base and it’s not there. I bet you couldn’t use it to say get into the Philippines or a country that takes it seriously enough to confirm the info.

It seems silly anyway. It’s not hard to get around the vaccine for jobs. Two of my coworkers downloaded religious exemption forms though neither are religious, and both were accepted no problem and this is in a health care facility.

Disagree. Don't see what value he would have to research. Its not as if anyone else has voluntarily chosen to be jabbed anything approaching that many times. You don't reach useful conclusions based on ONE result of a trial. Statistically, you need more to compare and establish a trend or pattern. Despite what some people like to argue, we should be basing public health policies/ transmissible disease control based on reproducible science, not speculation or paranoia, right? And there's enough built in potential variation to legitimate research already because participating subjects aren't identical to begin with. The data he could provide wouldn't be very applicable to any other scenario. His "results" would be an outlying blip on the radar and dismissed as an anomaly. All you could really conclude is that he's still alive and functional despite getting more of what some say is big bad pharma's diabolical witches brew than anyone intended...for now at least. Given the reason he did it, I'm sure he has no interest in participating in any sort of beneficial science.

He was using fake certificates. He was doing this to obtain the vaccine serial numbers. Read post #10.

If they monitor him for the next twenty years and he doesn't get cancer, or kidney failure, or Parkinson's disease, or anything else, then they finally have valid proof that the vaccine is safe.

He wasn't selling cards, he was selling information entered onto the cards with each vaccination.

From the article:

"According to the reports, each time the man entered a vaccination site, he would bring a blank vaccination card. After getting a shot, he would remove the page with the batch number and sell it to people who didn't want a vaccine themselves, per DW."

I hope he at least charged a good amount of money for his stupidity.
