For 300 to 600 BGN in Bulgaria you can get a fake vaccination certificate. These frauds are very dangerous, but the state seems to be inactive. A doctor from Sofia, who requested anonymity, explained to “Deutsche Welle” how the scheme works.
Between BGN 300 and BGN 600 is the “price list” in Bulgaria for a fake vaccination certificate against COVID-19. In the country with the least vaccinated and impressive number of deaths this problem has been discussed for at least three months, and there are signals of Bulgarian counterfeits from other countries – for example from neighboring Greece. These frauds compromise not only the weak vaccination campaign, but also the statistics on the number of vaccinated, according to which Bulgaria continues to be last in the EU . They also cast a shadow over the deaths of people who are officially vaccinated against COVID-19. And the reports of deaths from coronavirus, although they have been immunized, further shake the Bulgarian citizens, who already hold the EU championship because they do not want to be immunized. In addition, conscientiously vaccinated Bulgarians and their opportunities to travel abroad are endangered if at some point they cannot use their certificates.
The government is not very energetic But the caretaker government and law enforcement agencies are not particularly energetic, even inactive . This is probably due to both the poor vaccination outcomes that such disclosures will further downplay and the difficulty of proving a crime.
It is the tenth month of the campaign, which began earlier this year. By mid-May, when Boyko Borissov’s government was still in power, nearly 1.3 million doses had been administered, and in the months to date, roughly the same period, no more – doubled to 2,570,248. But regardless of May or October, Bulgaria is still in last place in terms of the number of vaccinated and the leader in reluctance to be vaccinated against COVID-19. (With a completed immunization cycle are 1,345,602 – just under 20% of the population, compared to the EU average of 70%.
With a booster dose of vaccine are 2705.
) These days there was even a 6-month peak of newly infected – 2806 per day.
So far there are no reports of pre-trial proceedings on any of the signals sent to the prosecutor’s office for fake vaccination certificates against COVID-19. There were media reports that SANS was also checking. Deutsche Welle sent an inquiry to the state prosecution about how many there were, but did not receive an answer. According to media reports, as of October 1, the number is 15. The Ministry of Health also did not answer the question how many signals for fake certificates they sent to the prosecutor’s office.
Maria Sharkova, a lawyer in medical law, commented to Deutsche Welle that such cases are really difficult to prove, as both parties have no interest in admitting this circumstance. Similar opinions were expressed earlier by the Minister of Health Dr. Stoycho Katsarov and the Chief State Health Inspector Angel Kunchev.
According to lawyer Sharkova, the difficulty comes from the fact that even if some expertise can be used, the proof that there are no antibodies does not lead 100 percent to the conclusion that the person is not vaccinated because there is a contingent that is resistant. (1 in 1,000 people do not respond to antigenic irritation, explained recently Assoc. Prof. Kunchev.) But there are some signs that can help the regional health inspectorates and the Ministry of Health to refer, says Sharkova.
“The data collected daily for the sick, hospitalized and deceased can be analyzed, it can be checked which of them have been vaccinated and it can be checked whether no certificates have been issued by the same source, “said lawyer Sharkova. A few days ago, the chief state health inspector announced that a doctor was being checked, who had a crowd for vaccinations of people from other settlements. Similar cases are already being investigated in Greece.
Lawyer Sharkova points out that part of the inspection may include how vaccine vials were used. “There is evidence that if the dates are tracked in the case of fake certificates, it will be seen that doses are placed from one vial on different days, and this cannot be possible given the requirements for storage and shelf life,” said Maria Sharkova. According to her, it is necessary to refine and improve the acts issued by the Ministry of Health – given the possible criminal proceedings.
Despite the recommendations of lawyers and there are no promises of effective verification of network disclosures for fake certificates. Instead, Bulgarians are offered a raffle with 102 smart watches to promote vaccination. They are cheaper than a bribe for a fake certificate.
