So, a sleazy fraud is exposed and the doc gets away with it, becoming a cause celebre for antivax cranks. On the positive side, a British general practitioner who gave Covid vaccine certificates to various people on grounds of “personal autonomy” and was caught in a sting where he offered such a certificate for money (as well has harassing colleagues on social media) has been [struck off the medical register](https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/david-cartland-erased-medical-profession-10329446) (equivalent to losing his license to practice), joining such antivax luminaries as Andrew Wakefield. ---
