While the official coronavirus vaccination campaign is disrupted in Ukraine, the sale of vaccines, vaccination certificates and covid passports on the black market is in full swing.

We have already written about the clandestine VIP vaccination in Kiev, when in one of the private clinics the Pfizer vaccine could be injected for $ 3,000.
After the publication of Strana, the story gained a wide public response, but the authorities tried to hush it up, saying that the checks allegedly did not confirm anything. And the clandestine vaccinations themselves stopped.

But, as we learned from our sources in the medical community, VIP vaccination has recently been resumed again. Moreover, not only Pfizer is available to customers for 2-3 thousand dollars, but also more affordable vaccines, for example, Moderna for 450 dollars.

However, the covid trade is only part of the global black market for vaccines, tests and certificates. He works with might and main through the so-called darknet (moreover, there are proposals both on Ukrainian and Russian resources).

To date, there are about 1.5 thousand advertisements for the sale of vaccines in the black network.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. For each ad, you can contact several sellers, the ads are often encrypted (a test from covid or a vaccination certificate is advertised, but in fact, you can negotiate a vaccine). That is, we are talking about a market for millions of dollars.

"Strana" understood how the black covid market works in the world and in Ukraine, and how much coronavirus vaccines are sold there.

AstraZeneca - 500 each, Sinovac - 750

Back in January of this year, researchers at the American-Israeli cyber security firm Check Point began to notice the first ads on the sale of coronavirus vaccines on the darknet.

Darknet is the so-called "black" Internet. You can't just go there - you need to install a special Tor browser, you also need a VPN. Otherwise, the provider simply "does not let" the user go to the "dark" - addresses - a sign is displayed that there is no Internet, although other, legal resources are being loaded.

The darknet hides a real IP address and does not have access to personal data, which attracts a lot of sellers of various goods to this network, including drugs, psychotropic substances, weapons, counterfeit currency and documents. Also in the "black" network there are a lot of various fakes and advertisements from all sorts of scammers. Therefore, great care should be taken when using the black network.

Darknet has a large block of Russian sites and at least one Ukrainian one.



At their addresses, you can find a standard set of black markets in different countries - cocaine, psychotropic substances, weapons, counterfeit money, etc. Recently, there is also a "coronavirus unit", where there are vaccines, vaccination certificates, covid passports, etc. buy everything this can be done in dollars, national currency, or even bitcoins.

Analysts at Check Point, cited by the BBC, counted about 1,200 "coronavirus announcements" in the black network as of mid-March. Now their number is close to 1.5 thousand. Moreover, there are announcements in English, French, Russian and other languages.

Check Point discovered the sale of AstraZeneca vaccines for $ 500. Johnson & Johnson and the Russian Sputnik V for $ 600 each and the Chinese Sinopharm for $ 750.

At the same time, Check Point analysts decided to conduct an experiment. And they ordered a Chinese vaccine for $ 750, but they never received anything, which makes one suspect that many scammers offer vaccines on the darknet (like everything else).

Russian Kaspersky Lab also searched darknet for the sale of vaccines and covid certificates and passports. Analysts monitored about 15 black sites (in fact, there are hundreds of them on the darknet). And I found there an advertisement for Pfizer / BionTech, AstraZeneca Moderna vaccines.

Most of the sellers were from France, Germany, UK and USA. Prices range from 165 euros (250 dollars) to about 1000 euros (1200 dollars). The average price was around 410 euros ($ 500), according to Kaspersky Lab.

It is interesting that Pfizer, the price tag for which is off the charts in the Ukrainian underground vaccination campaign, is almost the cheapest in the global black network. For example, a UK seller offers a dose for as little as £ 150 or $ 206.3. At the same time, the terms of delivery indicate: worldwide. True, it is not clear how the seller will deliver the vaccine if it has very harsh storage conditions - it needs minus 70-80 degrees.

Communication with "traders" is through encrypted messaging applications such as "Wickr" or "Telegram". You can also pay in bitcoins. Let's say a dose of the same Pfizer is being offered for 0.004514 bitcoin.

"Many of these sellers have completed between 100 and 500 transactions on the forums, which suggests that such sales of vaccines do take place," - said in "Kaspersky Lab". But they added that it is impossible to track how many doses were bought in reality and whether they are original or whether we are talking about fraud and fakes.

"Anything can be found on the dark web, so it's no surprise that sellers are trying to capitalize on the vaccination campaign. There have been several scammers exploiting the COVID problem in the past year, many of which have been successful. vaccination cards, "- said Dmitry Galov, security expert at Kaspersky Lab.

Covid passports and vaccines on call

"Strana" conducted its own experiment and entered the darknet. At the same time, at the moment, we have not found any announcements related to coronavirus in general and vaccines in particular on the Ukrainian psycoUA site. Continuous "fun" pharma - psychotropic substances, weed, etc.

But there is another platform - hydra - which is positioned as Russian, but also works for Ukraine.

There are several ads related to the covid topic.

In particular, the seller of Uglymans Cafe offers vaccination certificates and covid passports. Prices are given in rubles (from 5000 or 1.8 thousand hryvnia) and bitcoins (0.001177768). But the note indicates that the seller works for Kiev, Belaya Tserkov, Vinnitsa, Vishnevoe, Vyshgorod, Dnipro, Boryspil, as well as the cities of the so-called "LPR" and "DPR" - Alchevsk, Bryanka, Gorlovka, etc.

The seller promised to name the exact amount in private messages.

The vaccination certificate is also offered by the seller under the nickname Comedy club. The cost is from 3.5 thousand rubles. "Since at the moment there is no single database of vaccinated in the open access, then with a probability of 99% no one will know about the origin of your certificate," the seller agitates. The coverage area is the same - Kiev and suburbs, Vinnitsa, Dnipro, cities of the uncontrolled part of Donbass.

Production time - 1-3 days, delivery at the expense of the buyer "anonymous courier service" or regular mail. But first you need to provide personal data - last name, first name, patronymic, registration, address, etc. There are reviews from "buyers".

"Thank you very much! Now I am officially vaccinated," one user wrote on March 22nd. Another added that he had sent everything and was now waiting for a document.

We also did not find sales of vaccines on this resource, but in the chat of this resource people write that sellers of certificates and covid passports are also taken to help with vaccinations. Allegedly, they offer Sputnik V for $ 500.

The vaccine is not sent. You need to personally contact the seller, transfer the money, after which the address is supposedly sent to your personal messages, where you need to go for vaccination. As a rule, these are vaccination rooms of private or public clinics. In which cities and clinics such clandestine vaccination takes place is not explicitly stated. But from the discussions it is clear that this is not only Russia, but also Kiev, Vinnitsa, Dnipro.

At the same time, the Kiev doctors with whom we talked about the vaccination in us by "Sputnik" did not hear anything.

Clandestine vaccination returned to Ukraine

At the same time, sources in the medical community in Kiev say that clandestine vaccination against coronavirus has begun again in the country.

Pfizer vaccinations are offered for 2-3 thousand dollars. But not on the basis of a private clinic (where the vaccinators "burned out" last time), but at different addresses.

"There is a record of those who wish. Delivery is on a charter to Boryspil, after which within two hours you need to drive up, make an injection. Or, by agreement, they can drive straight home, but it will be $ 100-200 more expensive," he told Strana a source.

He also says Moderna vaccinations are available for $ 450.

CoviShield can even be obtained for 500-1000 hryvnia.
"You can negotiate with doctors who refuse to be vaccinated so that they give their dose. Their data is entered in the documents, but they inject you," our source said.
