    A public prosecutor had verified 130 of the vaccinations over nine months as part of an alleged fraud case, but no criminal charges were brought against the man, researchers said.

    Can you imagine being a lawyer on this case and organizing the paperwork for 130+ vaccinations to prove a point lol.

    When did the vaccine come out, 3 years ago? Going with that, that’s a vaccine every 5.05 days.

      I don’t understand how this is allowed. Why let someone who is already vaccinated get more vaccines pointlessly? Why nobody stepped in and said this is a waste of time and resources?

        As it is part of a fraud case I would guess he was being paid to pretend to be other people and getting the COVID vaccine on their vaccine passports so they could bypass vaccine regulations.

        How would you check if someone already had the vaccine? (aside from sticking a magnet on them of course [/s just in case])

          Impossible in Germany. That would require a digital storage of your healthcare data and it being accessible by every vaccination point. A big no-no.

          Also, most European countries vaccinated anonymously and regardless of the insurance status – yes that makes a lot of sense. But, essentially, you could vaccinate all you want without any records.

            Here in Sweden you book vaccinations via the regional health care website, if the place you’re getting vaccinated at isn’t a hospital or equivalent they can’t see your history, just that you’re booked.

            But there’s also private vaccination companies you can go to who won’t really care, they’ll just suggest you wait the recommended 30 days in between vaccinations (because otherwise the immune system won’t be as receptive to building immunity from the next dose)

        Who says that it is allowed? It is however very easy to do as long as you have statutory health insurance. You just book an appointment with a doctor or a pharmacy that does vaccinations, give them your insurance card and get the vaccination for free. Again and again. Nobody will (or even can) check your previous vaccinations. All they can do is ask the patient.

        After the vaccination they will bill the insurance, which can take months. Then someone or most likely some fraud detection system at the insurance company has to notice that something strange is going on. And since the vaccine is cheap and not a controlled substance it will probably take quite a few vaccinations to trigger a review. And even then they can not prevent further vaccinations. The only way would be to cancel your insurance entirely, which I am not even sure they are allowed to do.

    Researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg said the man received the high number of vaccinations “deliberately and for private reasons”.

    OCD? A vaccine fetish? Covid phobia?

    Anti vaxers are just going to mental gymnastics themselves into thinking the doctors are lying

      Are you suggesting that the dumbest people in the world could be wrong about something?!

      Something about vaccines having short term immunosuppressants or something overlapping with eachother, like how you never feel a mosquito bite or some other totally relatable but completely unrelated garbage.

    The team found that the man had higher levels of immune cells and antibodies against coronavirus than people in their control group who had received three vaccine doses.

    Well, it worked out for the guy. Can’t blame him, he did what was best for him!

    I really want to know what the “private reasons” were
