In Bavaria, hundreds of people have to do an antibody test because they have been subjected to a presumably fraudulent doctor with their corona vaccination.

The authorities are also trying to limit the damage through post-vaccination.

An already closed district vaccination center was quickly converted into a test center for the injured patients.

The resident general practitioner Gerhard Holz in Wemding (Donauries district, Swabia administrative district) is said to have falsified vaccination certificates and faked vaccination against SarsCov-2 infections for patients. He may just inject some patients with a saline solution. People from other federal states are said to have traveled to the doctor in order to obtain a false vaccination certificate.

District Administrator Stefan Rößle (CSU) said the suspect's name had to be published to protect patients. In this case, averting danger is more important than protecting the suspect's privacy. "Just to say that patients of a doctor from Wemding should report would have caused chaos, because there are several doctors there," said Roessle on Tuesday. Above all, risk patients who had been deceived by a placebo vaccination should have been warned in order to prevent them from developing a serious illness with a regular vaccination.

"There was a specific danger because, for example, the discotheques are opening again," said Michael Lechner, head of the criminal police in Dillingen (Danube). According to the public prosecutor's office and the criminal police, several hundred patients have received a false vaccination certificate in their vaccination books without actually having been vaccinated against Corona. How many patients were faked vaccination has yet to be determined. The criminal police in Dillingen and the public prosecutor's office in Augsburg had started the investigation after there had been several anonymous reports of irregularities in the practice.

Some insecure patients are said to have done an antibody test of their own accord.

After the test could not detect any antibodies in one case, the doctor's office and private rooms were searched last Wednesday.

The practice is currently closed.

Rumors of irregularities in practice are said to have existed for a long time in the small Bavarian town with just under 6,000 inhabitants.

Could be investigated for forgery of documents, bodily harm.

Public prosecutor Andreas Dobler said that several provisions of the Infection Protection Act were probably also violated.
