During the month, a number of trends were observed: a dramatic increase (about 400%) in the number of ads compared to the beginning of December and after the vaccinations were approved by the American and European authorities (8 pages of search results moved to 34 and the number of ads jumped to 340).
An increase in the price of "vaccines" from $ 300-250 at the beginning of December to $ 500 and even $ 1,000 in the last week.
"As expected: after the purchase the seller 'disappeared'"

Our researchers even ordered one of these "vaccines" and as expected - after the purchase of the known vaccine disappeared (the communication was done through a deleted telegram account and so did the ad).
