We are all at risk from fake Covid passes
I was shocked to read The Mail on Sunday’s investigation into how fraudsters are selling official
NHS passes – used to prove double-jabbed status – to vaccine refuseniks for £750.
Covid passes can be used for foreign travel as well as to gain access to big events. These brazen criminals should hang their heads in shame for playing Russian roulette with people who refuse to be vaccinated.
I hope that after your revelations, Health Secretary
Sajid Javid will take the bull by the horns and tackle this scandal.

It was only a matter of time before fake Covid passes became available and, now that they’re here, those who have a real pass won’t know whether the person they’re sitting next to has been vaccinated or not.

I work in a care home and I know several people who have bought a fake vaccine status through the Telegram app, as they are against forced vaccination.
Our care company has accepted all the fakes.

Fake vaccine pass seller Jordan Goodall and his ilk are responsible for enabling the spread of the virus and may be responsible for any number of deaths. He and any buyers should face very, very long jail sentences.

This is no different to people obtaining false passports, driving licences and the like.
Anyone using fake official documentation is a criminal.

There has to be someone in the NHS who is assisting with this, otherwise how could NHS records be altered?
You would think it shouldn’t be hard to trace them either, as surely all access to medical records is logged.

This article tells us a lot about the stupidity of some people: paying £750 to obtain false proof of vaccination when it costs nothing to get vaccinated.

I wonder if the people who are buying fake vaccine passports and freely giving over their details have considered the fact that this information has value?
Such details can be sold on, and perhaps they shouldn’t be surprised if they end up as victims of identity fraud.
M. Swystun, Birmingham
If the buyers of these passes are committed anti-vaxxers, why are they so keen to carry fake vaccine certificates?
If you don’t want to be vaccinated, that’s fine, but you shouldn’t expect the benefits that fully vaccinated people can get.
