18 USC §1017: Government seals wrongfully used and instruments wrongfully sealed


"We expect — as Andy Slavitt, I think, alluded to — that a determination or development of a vaccine passport, or whatever you want to call it, will be driven by the private sector. Ours will more be focused on guidelines that can be used as a basis. And there are a couple key principles that we are working from. One is that there will be no centralized, universal federal vaccinations database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential."

So NO a "fake vaccination card" is NOT like a "fake Drivers license, a fake Passport, fake birth certificate, fake medical degree, fake pilot's license" unless you improperly use a government seal on it.

So THAT'S IT boys and girls. Only TWO insanely LEFTIST states out of the 50 United States have decided to go down this self-destructive road.

Tell me you're buying what the Biden administration says. They have such a transparent and honest administration. Please advise what is the wildly misinformed commentary.
Upon getting my Moderna vaccinations, I received a Moderna vaccination card. About eight months later, I received a call from the Moderna Research Center I go to once a month and was informed that they now had the official "standardized" CDC vaccine cards (with seals) that I would receive on my next visit. I've never been asked to show it.

I don't believe there will be a mandated federal government requirement to show it to anyone but, the Biden administration is pushing companies to force employees to get vaccinated, I suspect the only acceptable evidence will be that standardize card. Cruise ships are going that way also. Won't surprise me if airlines do the same thing. Many medical facilities are directing their employees to be vaccinated and what do you suppose will be acceptable evidence of that vaccination. Just because only two "Leftist" states require this passport today doesn't mean those states not currently requiring it won't. It's already been mentioned that one member uses his fake card so that he can go out on the town and eat. And that is one of the states that don't require that "standardized card (yet).

Now, I really don't care if anyone else gets vaccinated because eventually, the vast majority will develop antibodies one way or another. Again, I really don't care if someone gets and uses a fake vaccine card but, fake is fake regardless of what kind of card it is. You don't have to agree, it's just as much about integrity as any thing else. But, as mentioned in your own posting, it is against federal law to fraudulently use that standardized CDC official card.
