New York police and the state Department of Health are investigating the Parcare Community Health Network, saying they may have used Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in a “fraudulent” manner.
New York health commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said on Saturday that Parcare “may have fraudulently obtained the COVID-19 vaccine, transferred to facilities in other parts of the state in violation of state guidelines and diverted to members from the public – unlike the state, they plan to administer it first to frontline health professionals, as well as residents and nursing home employees. “

CHINESE VACCINES ARE POISONED TO FILL THE LACK, BUT WILL THEY WORK?
On Monday, Gary Schlesinger, ParCare’s CEO and President, told BoroPark24 that his clinics are examining people who have signed up for the vaccine to make sure they are “health professionals, over 60 or have illnesses underlying assets. “
“Hundreds of patients have already been vaccinated today and people are still arriving,” Schlesinger told the local news agency. “We will not give the vaccine to people who are not eligible for this first batch of vaccines.”
Zucker said there is currently a criminal investigation into the matter.
“Anyone who has consciously participated in this scheme will be held accountable to the full extent of the law,” said Zucker on Saturday.

Staff at each hospital will have access to the first distribution of the vaccine, “explains the state of New York in the vaccine guidelines.
