CT state capitol police seize fake COVID vaccine cards at anti-vax rally

State Capitol Police have seized a box of dozens of fake COVID vaccination cards from the anti-vaccination rally that drew 4,000 people to the grounds of the Capitol Tuesday.

Officer Scott Driscoll said Capitol police are investigating but could not provide any further details. No one was immediately arrested in relation to the incident. Driscoll said his agency is the only entity investigating the fake vaccine cards, which were blue and in a box from Staples.

Legitimate vaccination cards are given by providers when they administer the vaccine.

The cards were on a section of pavement on the east side of the Capitol building, not far from the statue of the American Revolution hero, Col. Thomas Knowlton.

Posters surrounding the box of cards pointed to some of the reasons people turned out Tuesday ahead of the Senate’s vote on a proposal to remove the religious exemption for vaccines for public school children. One read: “Medical Freedom NOT Medical Tyranny” Another: “Your opinion is not my medical mandate.”

Connecticut’s Attorney General William Tong has warned of fake vaccination cards being sold on sites such as Twitter, eBay, and Shopify. Tong and 44 of his counterparts wrote a letter to the CEOs of the companies saying the cards pose a threat to public health and safety.

Businesses and entertainment venues across the country have begun to require proof of vaccination to enter.
