Since the COVID-19 vaccination began, Dakrnet has regularly offered vaccine purchases at different prices.

Yesterday's news reports the sale of the vaccine for $1,000 in bitcoins.

What are the scammers hoping for? Who will purchase such a product when vaccinations are given to everyone for free?
Is it possible that impatience of people and haste can lead to a thoughtless purchase of a vaccine from someone who is not clear? What's going on in people's heads? And also where did the scammers get the vaccines? They offer wholesale purchases. Can anyone trust anyone now?

This is crazy! I may understand it if it's about Ebola or a similar deadly virus, but about this, I cannot.

I'm pro on vaccines, but I would never put anything in my body bought from the Darknet. I'm in the loss risk Coronavirus group, and I'm sure that some unknown substance is riskier than the virus itself.

It has nothing to do with whether you are pro-vaccination or anti-vaccination. No one should purchase vaccines from unreliable sources, even if they are pro-vaccination. Everyone needs to wait for their turn, even if it means going without vaccination for 6 months or more. And who knows? Waiting for sometime for getting inoculated may prove to be beneficial in the end.

This definitely just a water put into a vaccine bottle to make it look like they were really selling vaccines,

Well that will probably be safer than the Pharma vaccines. Reports indicate that the best results are that they reduce natural immunity by at least 20%, and then you have to consider the side effects. The best options to fight Covid are still sunlight, fresh air, hydration and miners like zinc. Giving up smoking and vaping is another essential choice

It's not clear to me, does the darknet have its own audience? How do people know that there is a vaccine on Darnet? It's just strange for me why they write about this, it's free advertising.

That's something I would not trust, why would a person in the right mind would buy a vaccine in dark web if soon it will be available, I think it's too risky and it might destroy our health or could be a cause of death if we are not careful. I thought dark web is more on illegal drugs, porn, weapons and ect. but vaccine is not necessary to be sold their since it's not illegal to get vaccinated.

[Novatech8]

Honestly if there is some powerful people that really want to reduce the world population using dark web will just be fine, people don't know what's inside those vaccine yet they are buying and drinking the stuff? There are many dangers within this path.... Humans are unbelievable some times

What's the goal of those people selling vaccine on the dark web if it's given free by the government. They're just giving a bad image of bitcoin to the public. Why would a sane person buy there if he doesn't know what it really is and the possible side effects of it. Does the government secretly buys to those people at cheaper prices compared to what we know and those vaccines are what people get as a citizen of that country?

I also could not imagine why would someone buy a vaccine on the darknet. You've said it. It poses a lot of risks. Even the vaccine produced by well-known pharmaceutical companies has still some side effects and we could be somehow sure that it really undergone clinical trials. But vaccine from the darknet? I think that's even riskier. But, it's still their decision. Maybe they're huge risk takers.

It is up to the individual to decide whether he want to take unreliable medications which are available from the shady sources or not. First of all, a section of the society is saying that the current bunch of vaccines from Pfizer/Modera haven't undergone the necessary clinical trials before they were introduced in to the market. So even for the government approved vaccines, there is a lot of hesitancy.

As bad as a vaccine is approved by WHO, it must be far worse for a vaccine that is not clear and is traded on the dark web.  Don't justify wrong actions.  It would be nice for us to remind each other that it was wrong.  The motivation to buy vaccines on the darkweb is the craziest motivation I've ever heard.  How a person with common sense sacrifices his health for a drug that is not clear where it came from.  How stupid is the buyer.

Scammers are just taking advantage of people, at least where I live and I suppose that in many other countries as well the vaccine is going to be up for purchase, so if you are not going to be in one of the groups that is going to be vaccinated first you will have the option to buy it, but right now that is nothing but a dream as there is simply not enough supply of the vaccine, so scammers are making use of these facts and they are trying to make it seem as if they have access to the vaccine and sell it on the black market for such an outrageous price.

In some countries, vaccine tourism has already begun to flourish, when wealthy citizens travel to one arab country to relax and get vaccinated in combination with rest outside of all queues. Scammers play on such strings of the soul of certain people who do not want to wait for their turn in the case of mass vaccination, want to use a vaccine that is not available in the country of residence or just save money.

This is something that I did not knew but it makes complete sense, after all there is medical tourism already and it makes sense that with the vaccine probably being the most sought item in the entire world that those that are wealthy and can afford it are already getting the vaccine, personally I do not have a problem with this as long as they are following the rules of each country however there are many abusing their positions of power in order to get vaccinated first and this is wrong.

I didn't justified anyone. I was just saying that people are responsible for their own actions. A number of people, whom I have talked to have indicated that they will refuse to undergo vaccination, despite the claims by vaccine manufacturers that they are safe. So what I was trying to say is that irrespective of whether the vaccine is approved by the WHO or not, some people would refuse to take it.
