With a silicone arm: An Italian tried to outwit the nurse at the vaccine compound

A man who wanted to get a vaccine certificate and avoid the shot was caught by a nurse at a vaccine compound in northwestern Italy. “The skin was cold and reminiscent of rubber,” the nurse said. The man, a health care worker, was suspended from work because he had not yet been vaccinated

An Italian man who wanted to get a vaccine certificate without getting the shot arrived at the vaccination complex in the city of Biella in northwestern Italy with a silicone arm that covered his real arm.

Italian media reported that the nurse at the vaccine compound noticed the silicone arm and immediately reported to police. “When I took off his sleeve I found a cold, rubber-like skin, with too light a pigment,” the nurse said. She added that the man tried to make her turn a blind eye, but she decided to report him.

“If we were not talking about a very serious incident, it would be bordering on ridiculous,” said Piedmont County President Albert Chirio. He added that this was an “unacceptable action, in view of the sacrifice that the entire sacrifice of the community throughout the plague, in everything related to human life, the economy and society.”

According to reports in Italy, the man is a health system worker who was suspended from his job because he was not vaccinated. Italy has forced health care workers to get vaccinated. The Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported that this was not the first case in which the possibility of using imaginary organs had been raised to avoid receiving the vaccine.

Italy has tightened restrictions on the unvaccinated in recent months. Since August, Italians have been required to present a “Green Pass” certificate proving that they have been vaccinated, tested negative or recovered from the virus. This is to enter train stations, cinemas, restaurants, swimming pools and gyms.

Italy decided last Monday to tighten the restrictions even further, stating that only people who have been vaccinated or recovered recently will be able to get the “Green Pass”. The rate of vaccination in at least two doses in Italy is 73%, higher than in Germany, Austria, France and the United Kingdom, but lower than in Spain and Portugal.
