No Vax with the silicone arm, the nurse: “I was thinking about the amputation, then I understood”

“He smiled and confessed to wearing a stage corset, evidently, in an attempt to get the super green pass without really getting the shot. And he’s gone. He was neither rude nor rude: he got up and left. ‘ Filippa Bua is the nurse who on Thursday morning, at the Biverbanca vaccination hub in Biella, discovered the scam of the fake silicone arm of a fifty-year-old no vax. Al Corriere della Sera she told what happened to her.

«When I discovered the user’s arm, I felt a rubbery and cold“ skin ”to the touch; not only that, the complexion was too light, »he said. The first thought was that the man had suffered a limb amputation and presented his arm by mistake. “I was sorry, I thought I had inadvertently put him in an awkward situation and so, immediately, I asked him to give me the other arm».

It was not like this. After beating around the bush, the man gave the other arm which was absolutely the same as the previous one. «There I understood, in an instant, that the man I had in front of me he was trying to evade the vaccination through a silicone prosthesis on which he hoped that I, unaware, would inject the drug ».

After the discovery she went to the doctor who gave the patient anamnesis and they double-checked the limbs together. The man realized he had been discovered and left. It was immediately clear that it was a scam attempt. “We have drawn up a report that we have given to our superiors, who are responsible for making the complaint in cases like these».

It is not the first case of No Vax that comes to the center. The nurse explains that, “in recent weeks, all those who show up for the first dose of vaccine are angry with the ‘system’ and feel obligated”. But no one had gone that far. “I’m really tired and just as sorry, in see all these people who do not understand how indispensable the vaccine is to protect their health, and their loved ones “.

The person who presented himself with the fake arm would be a health worker suspended from the service because he was not vaccinated, not an ASL employee. The man was reported. “The case borders on the ridiculous, were it not that we are talking about a gesture of enormous gravity, unacceptable in the face of the sacrifice that the pandemic is making the whole community pay” said the governor Alberto Cirio and the councilor for health, Luigi Icardi.
