South Carolina nurse indicted, accused of creating fake COVID-19 vaccine cards

A nurse in South Carolina has been accused of creating fake COVID-19 vaccination cards and lying to authorities when approached about these allegations.

As The State newspaper reported, Tammy McDonald, a registered nurse and director of nursing at a rehabilitation center, was indicted by a federal jury on Nov. 23, per court documents that were made public on Thursday. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

McDonald's attorney, Jim Griffin, on Thursday claimed that his client, who he described as a "very qualified and competent registered nurse,” had created just one or two fake vaccination cards. He added that McDonald had used the cards to help a family member who has "anti-vaccination beliefs," and that the family member did not pay McDonald, who herself is vaccinated, for the cards.

It is unclear if McDonald used a real vaccination card and filled it out with false information or if she made one from scratch.
