A German man is alleged to have received over 90 COVID vaccinations in service of collecting vaccination cards he could later forge and sell to those who wanted a card but didn’t want to get vaccinated.

The man’s identity was not made public under German privacy laws, and authorities say he was not arrested but remains under investigation for document forgery and unauthorized issuance of vaccination cards, according to the news agency DPA.

The man’s alleged scheme was discovered when he received shots at the same facility on consecutive days and was recognized by staff.
Police later confiscated a number of blank vaccination cards from the man, who was caught in Eilenburg in Saxony and hails from Magdeburg.

Currently it is unknown what effect, if any, that many shots from different manufacturers might have on someone.
