Topic: Fake COVID-19 vaccines....by Paying in Bitcoins - page 5. (Read 1563 times)
Buying vaccines through unauthorised dealers will put yourself in danger. Who would dare to inject themselves with vaccines came from nowhere? Why need to rush to get injected with these vaccines? If the vaccines will start to inoculate I’d rather wait for few months before taking it, because we can’t a 100% sure even if it came from legit source if its safe.
There's so much stupid fake news out there that you have to be exceedingly careful what you believe--and I have a hard time believing that this is actually happening outside of one or two cases.
News related to fake vaccines that are widely sold on the dark web have often appeared in my country's news notifications. I don't think this is fake news, the dark web sells a lot of illegal goods around the world, from illegal weapons, organs, fetish porn videos, and even human trafficking. Those are some of the items sold on darkweb, which I often read. However, for the common man, who would buy them all? Yes, the fact is that many buy it on the dark web and most of them have a negative purpose as well. Whoever you intend to buy a vaccine on the dark web, think again because the dark web is a place for scammers and illegal things.
Honestly I wouldn't even consider that as an option. Who would be stupid enough to buy covid vaccine off dark web? Don't get me wrong I am not saying dark web is useless, there are some stuff you or someone else may want to buy there, I have no use for it but I am not against it neither. However one thing is for sure that I wouldn't get something this incredibly important as a purchase from dark web.
If you really want to, wait for it to come out, do not leave house, if you have to just wear your masks and everything, be careful, and when the time comes go to a hospital to get it done and you will be fully ready. Otherwise whatever you are buying, even if it is the real one, how could you get it and then get it done yourself? You wouldn't even know if it is fake or not.
Indeed, don't trust those vaccines that are being sold on the internet, you don't know if that is legit. There are really things that you can buy there, but not the one that you risk your own life by taking it, not only that but also your money is at risk. It is really commended to wait for the government to give some of that, even if that is too pricey. Or just wait for the private hospitals or sectors that sell the vaccine, the one that is legit and is approved by the health organization of your country.

It is best to wait for a government decision until the vaccine is released and tested for accuracy by experts, and as long as the vaccine is not yet available it must follow health protocols and government regulations that must be implemented.

Also keep in mind that many governments are going to vaccinate their citizens for free (or at least especially affected people such as health care workers or people with pre-existing conditions).
Governments are the one that should be responsible towards its citizen's safety and health.
Especially how about those people who can't afford the vaccine? Probably the authorities will not leave them behind.
I think that some governments will allocate a proper budget for that and they will distribute it as soon as possible so that we can somehow full go back to normal. Also those are the taxes of people so the government is accountable for that budget and stop their corruption plan first.
No matter what kind of currency they use, because there are countries who still don't want to adopt bitcoin.
It's going to be interesting whether there's going to be scalpers. Safe storage and logistics are a huge concern and I do believe that until production ramps up vaccine distribution and access is going to be closely monitored; making it rather difficult to get illegitimate access to vaccines on a business scale, except maybe in the most corrupt of countries.
Scalpers depend on what country you're from honestly. Plenty of people in the U.S. are in no rush to take the vaccine. Something like 50 percent said they wouldn't take it, another percentage said they would take but would wait.
Realistically, vaccines need to be targeted to people with preexisting conditions and the demand for the vaccine doesn't seem all there.
Source?
Given the controversy that the vaccines seem to cause in some circles there's going to be a lot of misinformation incoming, especially ones disavowing the vaccine like they did 5G. While studies on the long term effects are still out (for obvious reason, after all the vaccines are rather new) the immediate post vaccination side effects seem to be greatly exaggerated. Or put differently, they seem to be "not worse than a flu", to quote one of the dumbest sentences of 2020. Except true this time. Hopefully.
What worries me though is that while the current generation of covid-19 vaccines seem to be effective enough in terms of immunization, vaccinated individuals still appear to be contagious to some degree, even if they don't have symptoms. Accordingly building up herd immunity is likely to be harder than anticipated, at least until other vaccines come out.

Apparently you are usually clear 8-10 days following the second dosage of the vaccine. Can't remember the exact time frame, but it's a few weeks before you need to get the second dosage according to Pfizer (which is the major vaccine being rolled out). So realistically the pandemic won't even be over until the vast majority of people get their second shot of the vaccine.
It seems like bitcoin is really possible to use a a mode of payment but we know how centralized system work. It is still fiat currency to be favorable as a means of transaction because of its stable value compared to bitcoin. Bitcoin is good but for the mean time I think not ideal to spend bitcoin especially that we are already havng a bullish trend in its market price. So I doubt that many will going to use bitcoin as a means of payment.
it was definitely a fake vaccine sale. I visited the Dark Web several times through the tor network, not as scary as many people say (lots of spy etc), I saw many sites that offer the sale of hacking services, drug trafficking, weapons, and several others. For the sale of vaccines through the Dark web, you should not believe it because until now we do not know vaccines from where countries are effective for the human body..
Today all we see is desperation & fear. most people don't mind buying the vaccine from dark or black market in course of trying to protect themselves and that of their love ones. It like an hungry person who does not really care about the quality of food presented before him or her
The spreading of fear and panic especially when there is no need to is actually unfortunate. If those people who do this understand humans well enough, they wouldn't be doing it. It's more like an attack on people and society.
The situation should be handled in a safe and reasonable way that does create more problems for societies.
I do not get your point OP, are you against vaccine or do you want to integrate blockchain payment system to buy vaccines. Fake vaccines will definitely pop up but I do not think that will be a problem for many because only idiots will fall for that kind of scam, imagine buying some cocaine from a shady dealer only to find out that it is baking soda, that is what those people who will buy those "Real" vaccines will look like. Maybe a placebo effect might take place but considering the amount that you paid for, I do not think it is worth it.
Cannot imagine someones buy and sell covid-19 vaccines on black market by bitcoin. The supply of it is really small that isn't enough national demand, and however, it require preservation at special conditions that regular residents cannot response.
Even if there is enough supply, it is not strictly legal to sell vaccines, or any other prescription drug in the dark market. And vaccines are more risky when compared to the other medications, because if you take the wrong one then you may face all sorts of adverse side effects. But at the same time, what fuels this black market trade is the refusal by government to make the vaccine freely available at the market.
In my opinion, regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, it is better to wait for the government to officially distribute it to the citizen.
Don't because you can't wait to finally buy a COVID-19 vaccine with Bitcoin on the black market, this will be very risky.
Because it is not certain that the COVID-19 vaccine we get is genuine, because I am sure pharmaceutical companies will be
very strict about distributing the COVID-19 vaccine. So it's better to be patient while waiting for the government to officially
launch the COVID-19 vaccine.

If it says fake vaccines can only be obtained on the web or on the black market, then the next step to be avoided is enough for us to buy them from reliable sources. Because by visiting the web or the black market, basically, it has become something deviant, so why buy from an unclear source because even this is the beginning of the vaccine being released, even I personally am still not part of the vaccination participants. This is a moment where people will chase bitcoin because its price has passed the previous ATH, so be careful because moments like this are very risky if we are careless.
I don't really know what to say if that's truth. First of all, current vaccine was created by very talented and intelligent scientists and doctors and still, no one knows what will be the side effect of this vaccine on long term and people really risk their lives to inject something that was never really tested on side effects + do they really know what they inject? Maybe that's a poison? If people really sell similar things, I think websites should ban them and prohibit the selling of similar things (they did similar of it years ago on another substance). It's comes to our health, seriously, injection is very dangerous, especially when you don't know what you inject, what's the side effects of it. What if Anaphylaxis will happen? I don't know what these people really think about.
At the end of the day, unless you are buying from a reputable medical institution then it is unlikely you will be able to get a real coronavirus vaccine and someone might be injecting you with any old rubbish. I don't know of any medical institutions that accept Bitcoin so you might as well give up on the idea and just wait in line to be notified by a government agency for when it is your turn. Stay safe, keep washing your hands regularly, and wear a mask in any public indoor locations to lower your chance of catching it.
Buying vaccines from the black market isn't the right choice. We'll only waste our Bitcoins especially when it's fake. Instead of rushing to get the vaccine, we should just take the health protocols seriously. Let's wait for the International pharmaceutical to produce enough and legit vaccine for everyone. Being desperate to have the Covid 19 vaccine could only make our situations worse.
Jesus christ, the people attempting to buy a vaccine on the dark web are getting exactly what they deserve- a dangerous concoction of god knows what with no oversight and no recourse if something goes wrong. You have to go far out of your way of common sense to even be in a position to be hurt from something like this, so anyone who is ultimately really earned it.
The government should make vaccines available to those, who desperately want to get vaccinated. If someone is willing to pay huge amounts, then why the governments should deny the request? They can use the money for vaccine development and to provide vaccines free of cost to those who can't afford them. But right now, the preference is being given to those who are above 80 years of age.
Though it wouldn't surprise me in the least if there were some morons offering a COVID-19 vaccine for sale on the dark net (I've never even visited that side of the internet, but I've heard plenty of stories), you'd have to be an even bigger moron to spend bitcoin to buy it that way. It's so new that it isn't likely there's been much diverted from wherever it's being manufactured, and that's the only way I can think of that it'd end up for sale on the black market. Much more likely whatever you receive (if you receive anything at all) is fake.
Is this a real thing or just news hype? I'm betting it's actually the latter. There's so much stupid fake news out there that you have to be exceedingly careful what you believe--and I have a hard time believing that this is actually happening outside of one or two cases.

Why people need to buy vaccines when Govt will distribute them at a very low cost and even free in some countries. Also till now, two approved vaccines need certain conditions to preserve. Moderna’s vaccine requires minus 20-degree temperature and Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine needs minus 70 degrees temperature which even many countries don't have facilities to preserve. So how people will buy and preserve those vaccines.
This scenario scares a lot of people, and that is why some of them are trying to purchase the vaccine from dark markets. I think the reason behind buying vaccines on the dark web to getting fake vaccines is not an excuse because of the feeling of despair over the long distribution of free vaccines from the government. People who can access the dark web are not just anyone, those who can access are people who can decode special codes so they can enter the deepest parts of the internet.
The dark web is also not a trusted online shopping site, the dark web is a place for many crimes and illegal acts. How could someone who is desperate and in the category of ordinary people want to buy on the dark web? The purpose of the purchase is certain for other negative things because what it is aiming at is a hotbed of evil, and it's no wonder that Bitcoin is used in transactions because only Bitcoin transactions are difficult to trace.
Bit not surprising to know that Bitcoin is being linked with production or purchase of vaccines. These two are having wide popularity this year and ofcourse there will be people who will take advantage of the situation because of money. I do believe that vaccine is already being Secretly distributed but only to those who are rich because they'll be the ones to be able to pay huge amount for the sake of assurance that in the first place, exclusivity will be promoted due to high demand of the vaccine. And for sure there are people who will use the popularity to make money out of the situation. Why Bitcoin? popularity could also be the factor but I think its decentralisation will be something as its introduction to those who are not really aware of its nature. Instances more likely states that transaction will not be traced so things will be under the table. Then those who can afford, will bite the opportunity. It is just a sad reality we are having that heirchy will be obvious during tough times.
