Officials are urging people not to forge Covid-19 vaccine cards. Heres why it matters – CNN

And more than 40 state attorneys general last month warned social media and online shopping platforms to crack down on sales of blank or fraudulently completed cards. The Biden administration says the federal government won't require Americans to carry proof of vaccination. Florida has even passed a law prohibiting businesses from requiring proof.

LaKeith StanfieldPhoto: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for EJAF Recent Oscar nominee LaKeith Stanfield issued a statement on Instagram last night, saying that he “unconditionally apologizes” after serving as a moderator of a Clubhouse room where a great deal of anti-Semitic hate speech was broadcast.
