A Marine reservist already facing charges in the 2021 Capitol riot was busted for selling phony COVID-19 vaccination cards — and even distributing some to fellow reservists, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
Queens resident Jia Liu, 26, conspired with Long Island nurse Steven Rodriguez, 27, to steal and forge COVID-19 vaccination cards, sell them for profit – then destroy real vaccine doses to cover up the ruse, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York said.
