It seems that some people’s ingenuity
when it comes to fraud and corruption knows no bounds in Romania. The latest
scheme seems to be the fictitious immunization, which enables the
vaccine-skeptics to do away with the also fictitious danger posed by
vaccination. Although one’s refusal to get the jab, based on some conspiracy
theories, is hard to understand, fake immunization, which gives the benefit of
enjoying the advantages offered by the vaccination card in spite of being
exposed to the real danger of infection, borders on pathological crime.




According to police sources 400
people, including medical personnel, are currently under investigation for
involvement in fake vaccination schemes. They would have allegedly issued or
received fake Covid-19 vaccine certificates. In one of Romania’s southern
regions, a physician has been accused of having already issued such
certificates to ten people who haven’t been given a jab yet.




According to Interior Minister Lucian
Bode, criminal proceedings have been filed in 200 cases involving these fake
certificates. The Romanian minister has said that several police operations
aimed at limiting as much as possible this phenomenon are currently underway. The
man in charge of Romania’s vaccine rollout, physician Valeriu Gheorghita, has
cautioned that those who buy these certificates are in danger of getting
infected and even of dying. Gheorghita urges those who receive requests in this
respect to announce the institutions in charge.


Valeriu Gheorghiţă: The medical personnel are clearly rejecting such practices. And I make an
appeal to the medical staff getting such requests to make them public so that
the institutions in charge may take immediate action.




Fictitious anti-COVID vaccination, namely
the practice of issuing a fake certificate to someone who didn’t get the jab,
must be sanctioned severely’, Gheorghita went on to say adding that the medical
personnel involved in such activities must leave the system.




Valeriu Gheorghiţă: I don’t see what credibility the
medical personnel involved in such practices can have; suchlike practices are actually
tarnishing the image of the medical personnel. As we can see the medical system
doesn’t have much credibility with the people as it is, but these practices
will be certainly validating the people’s lack of trust in the country’s medical
system. And I believe this is something we must not accept and people like
these must leave the medical system right away.




Furthermore, 97% of last week’s
Covid-related fatalities were people who didn’t get the jab. With little more
than a quarter of its population vaccinated, Romania is lagging behind almost
all the other EU countries, which have around 70% of their population immunized.
And because the low domestic demand, Romania exported large quantities of
anti-Covid vaccines.
