Coronavirus: Pfizer confirms fake versions of vaccine in Poland and Mexico

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-56844149

The doses were seized by authorities in the two countries and confirmed by tests to be fake.

In Mexico, they had false labels, while the substance in Poland was believed to be anti-wrinkle treatment, Pfizer said.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that fake vaccines "pose a serious risk to global public health".

It has called for them to be identified and removed from circulation.

Way too much potential profit for Trump-like cretins throughout the world.

My guess is shitbag Putin attempting to undermine vaccinations since the Russian one is the typical type of shit they crank out.

The United States id say has been a success. I’m not sure how Europe went so wrong with their vaccine causing blood clots or something negative causing problems. (AstraSenica vaccine).
