Wrist-Slap for Distributing Fake Vaccination Cards in Red Zone

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh: Distributing fake vaccination cards in a Covid-19 could have serious consequences for public health; far more serious than drinking beer in public. Yet, according to this article by the KT, the local authorities were merely upset that crowds were gathering. The implications of large numbers of the population carrying false vaccination cards does not seem to have been understood by the authorities.
The people giving out fake vaccination cards received a severe slap on the wrist.

Three arrested for distributing fake vaccination cards in Red Zone
Khmer Times
Stung Meanchey II commune authorities arrested three people yesterday after they were caught distributing fake vaccination cards at Stung Meanchey primary school, which is in a Red Zone.

Local authorities said the fake card distribution may have caused large crowds of people to gather at the vaccination centre at the same time, different from the schedule set out by authorities.
This would make COVID-19 easily transmissible, authorities said.

The three were educated and warned against committing any further illegal acts, before being released the same day.

Unreal. Isn't there a thread about what degrees of justice are being handed out?

Maybe they were confused as to what exact law to prosecute them under. There probably isn’t a “faking vaccine cards” law on the books.

I’m sure HM knows the serious risk posed by the fake vaccination cards - numbers will stay high despite ‘vaccination’ and Cambodia potentially stays in lockdown forever - either by choice, or by other countries simply not allowing travel.

However, it all has to work in this highly corrupt system. Also, a great many deny or simply don’t care.

Expect a new law or clarification to eventually emerge.

Meanwhile, the US is vaccinating it’s way out.

Please stay safe out there!

Not only in Cambodia: The UK authorities also have noted a rise in numbers of false vaccination certificates.

Fake Covid vaccine and test certificate market is growing, researchers say
More than 1,200 vendors operating in the UK and worldwide, offering false documents for as little as £25

A hidden pandemic market advertising fake vaccine and test certificates for as little as £25 has grown exponentially, with more than 1,200 vendors in the UK and worldwide, researchers have found.

After UK ministers announced the return of overseas holidays – with travellers required to show proof of negative tests, and vaccine passports on the horizon – the Guardian has also learned that anti-vaxxers and people arriving in Britain from poorer nations make up a significant number of those buying forged pandemic paraphernalia.

Last month MPs were told that more than 100 people a day are trying to enter the UK using fake Covid test certificates as individuals attempt to get around current entry requirements, which include tests before and after travel and can cost individuals hundreds of pounds.

Israel-based researchers found evidence of forgeries of vaccine cards by the NHS and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) alongside fake test certificates, all available for sale on the dark web and through easy-to-access platforms including the messaging apps WhatsApp, Telegram and Jabber.
