Some People Would Give An Arm And A Leg To Avoid The COVID Vaccine

Many people are going to great lengths to try and get around vaccine mandates and one man in Italy is now looking at fraud charges for wearing a prosthetic arm to avoid actually receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

The man went to a vaccine hub in Biella, a city in Northern Italy, to get his vaccination in accordance with recent governmental restrictions banning unvaccinated individuals from participating in a number of social activities.

It has been estimated that he spent hundreds of euros on the prosthetic arm which he then used to try to get a health pass while avoiding the actual vaccine.

When he sat down and rolled up his sleeve to receive the shot, health worker Filippa Bua noticed something peculiar about his arm.

“I felt offended as a professional,” she said. “The color of the arm made me suspicious and so I asked the man to uncover the rest of his left arm. It was well made but it wasn’t the same color.”

“At first I thought I made a mistake, that it was a patient with an artificial arm.”

Bua said that the deceptive man pleaded with her to not expose him.

Fake vaccination cards have been turning up across the country as a growing number of people are looking to get around COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
