In short, this “nonprofit” run by a 22-year-old CEO who has no healthcare training set up a vaccine clinic, overbooked people, and turned quite a few away - and said CEO allegedly took leftover doses home with him, or at least carried them out himself. > **[Philly Fighting COVID CEO admits taking vaccine doses home despite patient...](https://whyy.org/articles/nurse-alleges-philly-fighting-covid-ceo-took-vaccine-home-sources-saw-photo-of-him-with-syringes-off-site/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_term=nprnews&fbclid=IwAR3b4-Krg_k_CcHlWmugtHoTi-3elRah3cIUTng0cJ8I3lWjcZVBn_-f0os)** > > After the PFC clinic turned away people seeking vaccinations that day, friends of CEO Andrei Doroshin say they saw a Snapchat photo of him appearing to administer vaccine off-site. Any Philadelphia area Dopers who know more, wish to fill me in? Yet another reason why people should not seek vaccinations at just any old pop-up location, I guess. ---

Short version- I live in Philly and yes it’s true. PFC also changed from a non profit to a for profit and many, including the head of Philly city council, fear that PFC will sell data it collected. I’d say more but I’ve been up since 5 AM for some reason and have no energy at the moment. ---

I have to believe he’s breaking some laws somewhere - and if that’s the case, I hope that prosecutors don’t hesitate to book him ASAP. I don’t know if state laws were broken but I was a fan of Josh Shapiro when I lived in PA and have no doubt he’s already on the case to see if he can prosecute this SOB. I’m guessing the DOJ is also going to take a look at this as well. ---

Having taken a brief nap and having read the article, this was not “any old pop-up location”. PFC was, at the time, an official partner of the Philadelphia city government. Last I saw, Doroshin had gone from denying he took doses of the vaccine for friends to claiming that those doses were about to expire.
