An Italian man raised eyebrows this week and made global headlines when he arrived at a vaccination center in northern Italy and tried to fool health workers into administering a coronavirus vaccine into a prosthetic arm.
The man apparently hoped to receive a covid-19 health certificate, which grants freedoms in Italy to the vaccinated, ahead of restrictions coming into force on Monday.
... The fake silicone arm looked “very similar” to real skin, Cirio said, according to Reuters. However, he said, the color and feel “raised the suspicion of the health worker, who asked him to show the whole arm.”
... Italian news agency ANSA reported that the man was a health worker in Italy and had already been suspended from his job for refusing to get vaccinated. Italy has made coronavirus vaccines mandatory for all health workers.
