A California bar owner has been arrested for allegedly selling fake COVID-19 vaccination cards in what s believed to be the first thwarted scheme of its kind.
Undercover agents with the state s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control bought the bogus cards for $20 each during multiple visits to the Old Corner Saloon in Clements, a small town in San Joaquin County.
The agents were told to write their names and birth dates on sticky notes and watched as employees cut the cards, added phony vaccination dates and laminated them, the Associated Press reported.

WASHINGTON In the minds of some of former president Donald Trump’s supporters, when hundreds of rioters descended on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, it was because Trump told them to do it.
“The president of the United States of America was telling citizens something evil has happened and you all have to go fix it,” a lawyer for Jeffrey Sabol, charged with using a stolen police baton to attack an officer, told a judge.
Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon shaman” who left a note for then–vice president Mike Pence on the Senate dais that read “justice is coming” and is charged with carrying around a 6-foot pole with a metal spearhead, wouldn’t have gone to the Capitol “but for the specific words of the then-President,” his lawyer argued.
