Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 15 (Reporters Liu Shuo, Chen Fei) In the early days of the new crown pneumonia vaccine, individual criminals were motivated by profiteering. They used counterfeit sales, high-priced reselling, illegal operations in violation of national regulations, and group vaccination without authorization. Reaping huge profits seriously disrupts the order of epidemic prevention and endangers public health safety.

  The Supreme People’s Procuratorate requires procuratorial organs at all levels across the country to actively cooperate with the public security organs to act quickly and resolutely crack down on crimes involving the new crown vaccine, find one, investigate and deal with one, and promptly arrest and prosecute according to law.

As of February 10, 2021, procuratorial organs across the country have legally approved the arrest of 70 suspects in 21 cases.

  In the 4 typical cases of severely punished crimes involving the new crown vaccine released by the Supreme People's Procuratorate a few days ago, some shocking details were disclosed, including the use of physiological saline to make fakes, and collecting money to attract customers to participate in emergency vaccination.

  In August 2020, Kong and Qiao came up with the idea of ​​manufacturing fake new crown vaccines and selling them for profit. They also searched and learned about the injection style and packaging style of the genuine vaccine through the Internet.

Subsequently, the two bought prefilled syringes and used normal saline to make fake new crown vaccines in hotel rooms and rented houses.

  In order to expand the scale of counterfeiting, Qiao recruited 3 relatives and friends from his hometown to help make it.

In the late stage of fake production, Qiao replaced with mineral water due to insufficient physiological saline.

In response to Kong’s commission, Yin and other three people used drawing technology, printing technology and printing conditions to design and produce the “new coronary pneumonia inactivated vaccine” label and packaging box for Kong.

After the production was completed, Kong falsely claimed to be "a genuine new crown vaccine obtained from internal channels" and sold it to Wang (a separate case dealt with) and others, so that the fake vaccine entered the society.

The packaging boxes and semi-finished products left in the counterfeiting process were destroyed by them.

  In November 2020, Kong and others were arrested.

The public security agency initially found that Kong Mou, Qiao Mou and others manufactured and sold about 58,000 fake Covid-19 vaccines, making a profit of about 18 million yuan.

On December 25, 2020, the procuratorial agency decided in accordance with the law to approve the arrest of suspects Kong and Qiao.

  Several other typical cases released this time show that after fake vaccines were introduced into society, criminals sold them at high prices and commissioned village doctor Lin to vaccinate buyers in their homes and cars.

There are also criminals who arrange high prices for unqualified personnel to participate in the emergency vaccination plan in the hospital, and even use WeChat groups to publish advertisements to solicit customers, forge a full set of vaccination documents such as corporate employee certificates, certificates for working abroad, and air tickets. Charge high fees.

There are even criminals who smuggle fake vaccines abroad, tarnishing the image of the country.

  The Supreme People’s Procuratorate requires procuratorial organs at all levels to continue to perform their functions of intervening in investigations, approving arrests, and initiating public prosecutions, resolutely curb various vaccine-related criminal activities, and provide strong judicial guarantees for the prevention and control of the epidemic nationwide.
