Napa Doctor Charged With Faking COVID Vaccines And Cards
Dr. Juli Mazi, a licensed quack in Napa, California, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of making false statements regarding health care matters.
Specifically, she was duping people into buying her "immunization pellets," which purportedly contained small amounts of the COVID virus and claimed that these snake oil pellets would provide lifelong immunity, and could be even given to babies. On top of that, Mazi provided fake CDC vaccination cards, complete with actual Moderna vaccine authorization numbers, and instructions on how to complete the cards.
“This defendant allegedly defrauded and endangered the public by preying on fears and spreading misinformation about FDA-authorized vaccinations, while also peddling fake treatments that put people’s lives at risk. Even worse, the defendant allegedly created counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination cards and instructed her customers to falsely mark that they had received a vaccine, allowing them to circumvent efforts to contain the spread of the disease,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco said in a release announcing the charges.
