If you know people that used fake ID's to get into bars before they turned 21 - many of those same are now getting their hands on fake 'proof of vaccination' cards.
In many cities around the country - getting into certain summer events required one to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative test for Covid.
There's a rash of fake 'proof of vaccination' cards going around - and what I fear is that many well intentioned summer events will turn into 'super spreaders' because of those people willing to take a chance on their life as well as others by using a fake 'proof of vaccination' card.
This use of these fake cards seems to be most prominently used by youths - who think they are invulnerable to Covid and this latest delta variant.
They are putting themselves, their family and the rest of us in danger because they think they've outsmarted the system.
Beware!!! - Just Beware!!!

The lack of a coherent "passport" program by the government, and the whole Bullshit reaction of the Morons that make up a significant % of the population, led to this.

I no longer have any intention of sacrificing my life, my time, my freedom and the adolescence of my daughters, as well as their right to study properly, for those who refuse to be vaccinated. This time you stay at home, not us. "

Other than that, I don't know what "Beware" means. What else would you have us do?

(12,480 posts)Just moved to a new house got a guy coming up to her offering to sell her a fake vaccination card.
She told him no she didn't want it.
And told the guy off.
Some assholes are selling these fake vaccine cards and making money off it.
We need official,plastic vaccination cards connected to a database that shows who is vaccinated and who isn't.

(10,252 posts)Its just a little paper rectangle with the dates filled in. Ill have to pull it out a look it over, Ive been thinking of getting it sealed in plastic (cant think of the term now dammit always forgetting words as I get older). But Ive had documents in the past where I was told not to do that at any rate, I dont see any bar code or reference that could be used quickly to verify.
