Man Tries Dodging Getting a Vaccine . . . By Using a Fake Arm (?)

You know how people would use a prosthetic called the "Whizzinator" to cheat drug tests? Well someone took a page out of that book to try to avoid a COVID-19 vaccine.

A 57-year-old man in Italy tried to trick medical workers by wearing a FAKE arm. It took about one second for the nurse to realize something was up.

It was so obvious that, at first, she thought the guy was an amputee, and had mistakenly requested to have the shot in the wrong side. But it was intentional.

He was wearing a contraption around his torso with two silicone prosthetic arms attached. He eventually admitted that he was trying to get a vaccine card without actually getting the shot . . . and thought the nurse wouldn't notice.  (???)

This guy doesn't seem familiar with how the medical industry works . . . but he's a DENTIST, which is unsettling.

He's been suspended from work and may face criminal charges.
