Interpol warns fake vaccines seized in China and South Africa are ‘tip of iceberg’

Police in China and South Africa have seized thousands of fake doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, the global police organisation Interpol said on Wednesday, warning this represented only the “tip of the iceberg” in vaccine-related crime.

The Lyon-based agency Interpol said 400 vials – equivalent to around 2,400 doses – containing the fake vaccine were found at a warehouse in Germiston outside Johannesburg in South Africa, where officers also recovered fake masks and arrested three Chinese and a Zambian national.


In China, police successfully identified a network selling counterfeit Covid-19 vaccines in an investigation supported by Interpol, which has 194 member countries, it said.

They raided the manufacturing premises, resulting in the arrest of around 80 suspects and seized more than 3,000 fake vaccines on the scene, it said.

Interpol earlier this year issued an “Orange Notice” warning authorities worldwide to prepare for organised crime networks targeting Covid-19 vaccines, both physically and online.

“Whilst we welcome this result, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Covid-19 vaccine related crime,” said Interpol secretary general Juergen Stock.

Interpol said that in addition to the arrests in South Africa and China it was also receiving additional reports of fake vaccine distribution and scam attempts targeting health bodies such as nursing homes.

It warned that no approved vaccines were available for sale online.

“Any vaccine being advertised on websites or the dark web will not be legitimate, will not have been tested and may be dangerous.”

Stock had warned in December in an interview with German weekly WirtschaftsWoche of a sharp rise in crime due to the vaccine
rollout, with thefts and warehouse break-ins and attacks on vaccine shipments.

Perhaps -70 deg Pfizer and Moderna is unfakeable. If unchecked this has the potential to do significant damage to global efforts to eradicate COVID. I don’t understand how forgery is even possible in a vigilant state like China.

Wow, that's worst than the usually USA bullying. So not only is the vaccine new but the company is also worried they might get sued so they demand insurance. Look like China's old school inactive vaccine is the safest.

LOL Pfizer demanding military bases in exchange for the vaccine according to Indian media -known practitioners and aficionado of public defecation. You have to be brain dead to believe this nonsense....and CPC bots lapping up the Indian excrement as if it's mana from the heavens.

This sounds more like ensuring some armed gang doesn't steal the shipment rather than some military angle. Plus with this vaccine being rushed out around the world these vaccine makers don't have the resources to handle every court case over potential side effects or suspicious death.

However it is interesting the tactic they will probably use. Simply plead "no contest" to all lawsuits and let the local government foot the bill. This would put the onerous on local governments to weed out the frivolous cases.
