Anti-vaxx mom’s VERY trashy courtroom behavior as she’s jailed for selling fake COVID vaccination cards at height of pandemic
A mother who underwent surgery gave the middle finger as she was jailed for selling fake Covid vaccination cards at the height of the pandemic.
Jasmine Clifford, 34, gave the middle finger to attendees after being sentenced to one to three years in prison for forging as many as 250 fake vaccination cards, which she sold on Instagram for $200 each.
The mother of two arrived very late at the Manhattan courtroom on Thursday wearing tight gray shorts, a black T-shirt, black sneakers and expensive Loewe sunglasses, which she wore throughout the trial and even while being taken into custody.
She tried to hide her face by wrapping a sweater around her head.
Her boyfriend accompanied her to court and sat silently as she was charged and taken into custody.

Last week, Clifford’s sentencing was postponed after she brought her two young children to court but made no arrangements to take them home.
Clifford claimed Thursday that she was confused when she accepted the plea deal, as reported by the Daily news.
“I was under the impression at the last trial that we were going to set a trial date,” she said. “I didn’t know there was a plea offer.”
She added: “I had seconds to make a decision and the offer was on the table… I really didn’t know what to do. In my heart I just wanted to go to court.”
However, the Public Prosecution Service stated that it was Clifford himself who had asked for a settlement.

Judge Beller did not accept Clifford’s argument and advised Clifford that she could appeal the sentence.
“I was there, she pleaded guilty before me,” the judge said.
‘A lot of people come to me who are unsure whether they want to go to prison.’

She pleaded guilty to a conspiracy in which she sold fake vaccination cards from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and then falsely registered buyers in New York.
As a result, at least 13 people were fraudulently entered into the New York State Immunization Information System database, according to federal authorities, while the mother of two lived a life of luxury in her Lyndhurst home
Meanwhile, she remained prominent on social media as stripper 5StarJaziiii and on her still-active Instagram account, she promoted the fake CDC vaccination cards under the name AntiVaxMomma.

She accepted payments from interested parties via CashApp or Zelle. The pseudonym has since been removed from her social media accounts.
For an additional $250, a second scammer would enter a bogus ticket buyer’s name into a New York state vaccination database, used to verify vaccination status at gatherings such as concerts and sporting events, prosecutors said.
Clifford was subsequently charged with criminal possession of a forged document, offering a false document for filing, and fifth-degree conspiracy when she was arrested in August 2021.
