With the silicone arm doing the vaccine, reported

(ANSA) - TURIN, 02 DEC - He showed up at the vaccine hub with a silicone forearm, thinking he was deceiving health workers - who have not fallen into the trap - and obtaining the Green pass without the vaccine. A 50-year-old will be reported to the carabinieri and the ASL will report the case to the prosecutor. It happened tonight in Biella, in a vaccination center with direct access for the first doses. "The case borders on the ridiculous, were it not for the fact 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", underline the governor Alberto Cirio and the councilor for health, Luigi Icardi.

    Although the silicone application was very similar to real skin, the color and the perception to the touch made the healthcare worker involved in the vaccination suspicious, who then asked the person to show their entire arm. Once discovered, the subject tried to persuade the operator to turn a blind eye.

    "The promptness and skill of the operator have ruined the plans of this subject who will now answer to justice - add Cirio and Icardi -. Our thanks, on the other hand, goes to all the health workers who have been continuously working for months in our vaccination campaign without ever lowering it. attention and professionalism, starting right from those who acted promptly this evening in Biella, one of the first Aslads to have already achieved virtuously more than 93% of the target of daily administrations that the Region has given to its health companies to run faster and faster with third parties doses ".
