Be careful not to get the wrong address! The site vitemadose.covidtracker.fr, created by Guillaume Rozier, allows you to find vaccination slots “easily and quickly“via the various online meeting platforms.

This is not the case with his fraudulent double: “the domain name vitemadose[point]fr * was bought by anti vaccines “ alerts the young engineer in a Tweet. “Do not go“, he writes then. Screen capture in support, it shows that this site does not give access to vaccination appointments but is displayed as a”covid-19 vaccination knowledge promotion page“.

A domain name purchased anonymously

How is it possible ? Before creating Vite Ma Dose, Guillaume Rozier developed the Covidtracker site, a tool for monitoring the covid epidemic. The Vite Ma Dose tool has therefore been integrated into this site, hence its domain name vitemadose.covidtracker.fr.

The other address was purchased on April 3, by an anonymous person, according to the site Who.is. Initially, it linked to the official covidtracker site. But in recent days, the tone has been very different.

48 min of video required

The platform first recalls that “getting vaccinated against covid-19 is an important decision” and “everyone must be able to make this decision with an informed opinion“.

Then, to access the official booking site, you must watch a 48-minute video titled “Vaccine technologies under the microscope“. We see Christian Vélot, molecular geneticist member of the Committee for Research and Independent Information on Genetic Engineering (CRIIGEN), an anti-GMO association, making disturbing remarks about messenger RNA vaccines, which he calls”genetically modified vaccines“.

When the video is finished, the page displays the message “You have just watched the video of Dr Christian Vélot. If you would like to make a vaccination appointment, please follow this link“. Link which finally returns to the real site.

Problematic comments

Asked by the Huffpost, CRIIGEN says it is not directly at the origin of this fraudulent site but assumes the principle. The association also denies being pro or anti vaccine. But to qualify messenger RNA vaccines as “remedy“may prove”worse than evil“is problematic.

Especially when the scientific evidence for the efficacy and safety of these vaccines accumulates and when the scientific community recognizes that they are essential to fight the epidemic.

How to act against this identity theft? Do not go to the fraudulent site, nor refer to its address but distribute that of the real site (vitemadose.covidtracker.fr), advises Guillaume Rozier in a tweet.

Same instructions on Twitter, where only the account @ViteMaDose_off is associated with the actual site. Users of this social network can however report the @ / ViteMaDose * account associated with the fraudulent site.

* We do not write here the address of the fraudulent site in full so as not to promote its referencing on search engines.
