The state of Hawaii has experienced a surge in Covid cases as well as shortages in things like water and food.
Conditions are dire enough, Hawaiian residents were urged to ration.
Over 135k tourists will likely fly into Hawaii for Labor Day weekend. \n\nBut COVID counts are the highest ever, and hospitals are overburdened. \n\nMeanwhile, lawmakers are considering a stay at home order for residents, rather than curtailing reckless travel.\n\nThis is gaslighting.— Kaniela Ing (@Kaniela Ing) 1630352781
The tourism heavy state went as far as asking the tourists who flooded the island as soon as travel restrictions were lifted.

I can\u2019t believe americans were so heartless and careless to travel to Hawaii despite the indigenous Hawaiian communities telling them to stay home— Saron/professional bird app user (@Saron/professional bird app user) 1625968537

Everyone complaining about Hawaii\u2018s travel rules just openly admitting Indigenous lives are an inconvenience to them is a vibe I guess.— Today in Fascist US of A: (@Today in Fascist US of A:) 1603128192
I saw WAYYYY to many white liberal women saying we should get vaxxed and wear masks only to travel to Hawaii for vacation despite the fact indigenous Hawaiians warned that their travel could endanger their communities.

Exasperating the crisis are people who lie about their Covid or vaccine status just to travel—using counterfeit test results and vaccine cards.
An Illinois woman, Chloe Mrozak, was arrested and detained in Hawaii after she tried to enter the island of Oahu with a vaccine card that was not only faked, but chock full of careless errors and easily detected lies.
The incident led to authorities tracking her down in the Honolulu airport in a scene straight out of a caper movie.
See the card in the tweet below.

Even a cursory glance at Mrozak's vaccine card raises eyebrows. There's the penmanship, which looks sort of childlike and sloppy. There's the spot where she appears to have scribbled out an error on a supposedly official document--hardly the standard operating procedure of medical professionals, one assumes.
Then there's the five-week delay between shots instead of the standard four, and the fact that both shots have the same lot number... which isn't even possible.
And then there's what appears to be Mrozak's misbegotten attempt at humor: She was apparently administered her doses by a wolf and a monkey at the National Rifle Association, or something. Good one, Chloe.
But she might have gotten away with all of that if she'd just done one thing right: spelled Moderna like it's spelled, instead of spelling it "Maderna." Come on, Chloe, at least try!
But hey, even doctors and nurses make spelling errors right? There's still one other glaring problem, though, and it's the one that ultimately did Mrozak in. When authorities made a simple phone call to authorities in Delaware, where Mrozak claimed she was administered the vaccine, the state had no record of Mrozak, of course.
And soon, an investigation was launched, which also revealed that the hotel in which Mrozak said she would fulfill the state's mandatory 10-day quarantine had no record of her reservation. Authorities then went into full caper mode, trawling her Facebook profile until they found a distinguishing characteristic they could use to track her down--a tattoo on her hip.
It was indeed that tattoo that allowed authorities to spot Mrozak in the crowd at Honolulu airport on August 28, where she was arrested for both falsifying vaccine documents as well as violating state quarantine rules, according to local news station KHON2.

On Twitter, people couldn't help but mock Mrozak for her wildly incompetent attempt at forgery.

Good morning. Happy Wednesday.\n\nAnti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and spelling bee champions like Chloe Mrozak from Illinois writing Maderna and Fizer on fake vaccine cards should definitely go to prizon.\n#Moderna #Pfizer #morningjoepic.twitter.com/CzwCLrmbVe— ClockOutWars (@ClockOutWars) 1630496383

That's why she used Moderna. But she couldn't even spell that right.— Kristin (@Kristin) 1630466373

Mrozak was held in Honolulu on $2000 bail for her violations because she wasn't willing to get a free vaccine. Life comes at you fast!
