Reported from the USA in December 2021: Youtuber Daniel Stricker.
The well-known Swiss opponent of corona measures and YouTuber Daniel Stricker explained at a reading for his book “The Book of Shame” last Saturday in Bern-Bümpliz that he had used a fake corona certificate on the trip to the USA in December 2021. This reports the «NZZ».
“I decided to tell you how I came to America,” said Stricker. “I don’t feel like I’ve done anything illegal.” He knew from a “Blick” report that Swiss did not have time to scan the Covid certificates. “So I took someone’s certificate, wrote my name at the top and printed that out. Then I went to the airport.” In fact, the certificate was not scanned during the airport control. “On board you then had to fill out that you were vaccinated. I lied there, »said Stricker.
Even an infection that had gone through would have counted
At the time of Stricker’s trip, you were only allowed to cross the border in the USA if you were double vaccinated against Corona and tested negative for Corona. In addition to a double vaccination, entry was also possible with proof of a previous infection, which must not have been more than 90 days ago. In addition, the national health authority CDC also provided exceptions for people who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons or who are in a medical emergency.
Stricker’s trip caused a stir at the time because vaccine skeptics speculated that he could have been vaccinated against Corona.
