“Sovereign Citizen” Gets 3 Years For Fake Vax Cards

The Napa Valley Register reports:

A Napa naturopath will spend nearly three years in federal prison for faking hundreds of COVID-19 vaccination cards and selling a purported remedy against the virus, federal prosecutors announced. Juli Mazi was sentenced to 33 months during a hearing in U.S. District Court in San Francisco. The sentence capped her arrest in what authorities called the nation’s first case of faking vaccination cards during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mazi also sold homeopathic pellets she claimed would provide lifetime immunity against COVID-19 by using trace amounts of the virus to prompt an antibody response, according to the Justice Department. Before Tuesday’s sentencing, Mazi again battled prosecutors and the court arguing in a handwritten affidavit filed earlier Tuesday that her “sovereign immunity” as a self-described “First Nation” person insulates her from prosecution by federal authorities.

Juli Mazi was sentenced Tuesday in federal court for issuing falsified vaccination cards and selling an unapproved product that purported to provide immunity to COVID-19, according to court records. https://t.co/tN4TpnWC9o
