Vaccine Scam Caught On Video In Mexico City, Nurse Pushes In Needle But No Vaccine

MEXICO CITY (Social Media) – On Saturday afternoon, social networks denounced the deception of an older man who went to receive his first dose of the covid vaccine at the Biological Sciences unit of Zacatenco.

The user who identifies herself as @aletopia narrated that the affected person was her uncle: “The nurse made him believe that he was vaccinated and only made him a prick with the needle and the syringe has no liquid, it happened at the @IPN_MX in Zacatenco, it cannot be that the health personnel are doing this.”

According to the Mexico City Health Secretariat, the vaccination unit where the events took place is under the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), and the woman who allegedly applied the vaccine is a volunteer nurse from the National Polytechnic Institute.

“After accusing the nurse, the supervisor acknowledged that it was a ‘mistake’ and that she would correctly apply the vaccine to my uncle. Here the video, and now you can see that the plunger with liquid goes down in the syringe. Please be attentive and do not let this happen to you. It frustrates me because who knows how many people they are not giving it to, and there are two doses, let’s all be attentive that they apply it correctly,” the woman wrote.

A few days ago, a similar situation occurred in Sonora. A nurse pretended to vaccinate a 95-year-old woman but only injected her with air since the syringe did not contain any liquid.
