According to the US Department of Justice, a Northern California licensed naturopathic doctor was arrested on Wednesday for running a fake COVID-19 immunization and vaccine card scheme.
Juli A. Mazi, 41, is charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of false health statements. Prosecutors claim that she tried to sell fake COVID-19 immunization cards and homeoprophylaxis immunization pellets to make it look like her patients had received the Moderna vaccine.
According to prosecutors, this is the first federal criminal fraud case involving false immunizations and vaccine record cards.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco said, “This defendant allegedly defrauded and endangered the public by preying on fears and spreading misinformation about FDA-authorized vaccinations, while also peddling fake treatments that put people’s lives at risk. Even worse, the defendant allegedly created counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination cards and instructed her customers to falsely mark that they had received a vaccine, allowing them to circumvent efforts to contain the spread of the disease.”
Acting US Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds said that “According to the complaint, instead of disseminating valid remedies and information, Juli Mazi profited from unlawfully peddling unapproved remedies, stirring up false fears, and generating fake proof of vaccinations. We will act to protect trust in the medical developments that are enabling us to emerge from the problems presented by the pandemic.”
According to the criminal complaint, a person called the Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General hotline in April to file a complaint. Mazi allegedly sold homeoprophylaxis vaccination pellets that contained the Covid-19 virus to family members, claiming that they “would create an antibody response in the immune system.” The complainant further stated that none of the three permitted COVID-19 injections had been administered to the family.
Back in June, Mazi alleged on a recorded call that almost every infectious disease that exists could be remedied by a process known as “homeoprophylaxis, which involved introducing a tiny amount of a disease into the body to provoke immunity.”
Mazi said that “the remedy for COVID has been available since the beginning, and I’ve been offering that.”
She reportedly told the caller that the amount she was offering was the same “‘for babies,'” and inquired if they were interested in talking about the vaccines mandated by the state of California for schoolchildren. According to the criminal complaint, Mazi said she supplied school vaccines “in the form of homeoprophylaxis remedies.” The complaint states that the caller paid $243 for the pellets during this exchange.
Mazi’s plot to get around school immunization regulations by falsifying documentation is detailed in the criminal complaint. A school staffer in Ukiah, Mendocino County, got an immunization card for a student in August 2020, which listed Mazi as the provider. According to the complaint, the card was “unusual because it indicated a spacing of the immunizations that did not reflect the typical dosage regimen for the FDA-approved vaccines referenced on the card.”
Another caller complained to the Health and Human Services hotline claiming that she learned about Mazi from her significant other. According to the complaint, her significant other’s roommate took the pellets and became ill, describing symptoms as “gastrointestinal discomfort and an overall feeling of being unwell.”
Her financial records show that Mazi received around $221,817 in 1,242 transactions between January 2020 and May 21, 2021. While most transactions did not specify the reason, the document shows that at least 25 transactions totaling $7,653 were for COVID therapies, with another 34 transactions indicating homeoprophylaxis treatment.
