“The FBI is investigating Loretto Hospital’s COVID-19 vaccination program following reports that doses went to ineligible people with ties to hospital administrators, government records show. Two federal grand jury subpoenas were issued to the Illinois Department of Public Health in May and September after Block Club Chicago revealed the hospital vaccinated ineligible people at Chicago’s Trump Tower, where Loretto’s chief financial officer, Dr. Anosh Ahmed, lived, as well as a luxury jewelry shop and a high-end Gold Coast steakhouse where Ahmed hung out. The subpoenas, issued ‘pursuant to an official criminal investigation,’ seek patient records and other documents over a two-day period in March when Chicagoans were scrambling to secure scarce vaccination appointments. Loretto administrators did not respond to requests for comment.”
“On March 10, Loretto administered doses to ineligible people at Trump Tower Downtown, where Ahmed, who was also Loretto’s chief operating officer as well as its CFO, owned a unit, according to the hospital’s subsequent audit and other records. Ahmed claimed credit for vaccinating Eric Trump during that March 10 event, though he later said he’d been joking. Ahmed took a photo with Trump and texted it to others, saying he ‘vaccinated Eric Trump’ and calling the former president’s son a ‘cool guy.’ Digital data embedded in that photo shows it was taken the afternoon of March 10 at or near Trump Tower. ‘Eric Trump happened to be in the building but we did not vaccinate him,’ Ahmed said in a statement shared through a spokesperson at the time. ‘A few residents including myself did take a photo with him. My post was meant as a joke…'” – Block Club Chicago.
