Thousands of people pay $10 to $17 per dose to receive saline water instead of vaccines

India: Fourteen people were apprehended and a private clinic was blocked off in India as part of an investigation into an alleged vaccination fraud in which thousands of people were allegedly given saline solution injections instead of coronavirus vaccines. They were also charged between $10 and $17 for each dose.

Last month, some who had received the vaccinations became suspicious when their immunization certificates did not appear on the government’s internet portal, reports CNN. When none of the persons who joined the vaccination sessions noticed any of the normal post-vaccination adverse reactions, their suspicions deepened, and police opened an investigation.

“They were using saline water and injecting it,” said senior official of the Mumbai police department Vishal Thakur. “Every fake vaccination camp that they held, they were doing this.”

According to Thakur, about 2,500 people were given bogus vaccines outside of Mumbai. In May and June, the alleged con artists are suspected of arranging at least 12 private mass vaccination events.

Authorities said that the organizers, including medical experts, charged between $10 and $17 for each dose. The fraudsters made a total profit of $28,000, CNN reported.

Fourteen persons on charges of fraud, criminal conspiracy, and other offenses were detained by police. Doctor Shivraj Pataria and his wife Neeta Pataria, the owners of the Shivam Hospital in Mumbai, were also detained for their alleged involvement in the vaccine scam.

Although the hospital was a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Virus immunization station, it did not have the approval to run immunization camps in residential neighborhoods. It was suspected that they refilled used vaccine bottles from the hospital that were supposed to be thrown away.

Vishwas Nangre Patil, Mumbai’s joint commissioner of police, informed news outlets last week that “many [of the] accused have confessed that they used saline water.” While the investigation was still ongoing, more persons could be charged, he added.

In India, CCP Virus infections and deaths spiked in April and May, with more than 180,000 people dying from the virus in only two months alone. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the South Asian country has seen over 400,000 deaths in total.

I'm not at all surprised except that so few people fell for it but I believe the CCP they are referring to is the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) and not the Chinese Communist Party CCP.

Preying on an innocent public and taking their health and finances needs to have a special penalty in today's greedy society . If not life imprisonment or death than at least a lifelong mark visibly put on the crook . There's no deterrents anymore and our judicial system is archaic .

This is India the home of the scammers (along with Nigeria) but I agree. Some were described as "medical experts" and geez how I detest hearing those two words nowadays.

It's the nature of Man, and especially of the kind of man that never rises above Third World Status.

What separates us from Africa and India? Things work, that's what. A big part of that, is the public acceptance of and adherence to, morality. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness (lie).

Of that's how it USED to be, when things worked. The more we get away from it, with Situational Ethics and Value Neutrality...the more things do not work. The less we can trust government agencies or news reporters. The more suspicious we are of, basically, everyone.

At least "Saline Water" would not cause the life ending side affects of the "vaccine". Who knows? It may provide just as much "protection" as well.

Seems that way...
