What's great about this post is that you speak of the frustrations we have with having no control over our own lives. The government dictates these mandatory requirements for shots and boosters, and if you believe in it or not, you have to resort to these extremes measures to find the loopholes if you don't want the shot. Fake arms. That is something I haven't heard of yet. But it also illustrates how creative human beings get to maintain their sense of control over their lives. I'm with that Italian guy and his fake arm. estory

Me too:) thank you so much for taking the time to read my small rant.
Comment from lyenochka
Really? Someone got seven jabs for $700 ? That's crazy? And a fake silicon arm - like the pharmacist can't tell a real arm from a fake one? That's crazy, too! While I agree the way the went about protecting the public was insane, the ways to avoid cooperating are also nuts!
Thanks for letting us know, Iza!
The ones that are calling the shoots (shots?)
are realizing new streams (schemes?)

Yes this is true, they said on TV and I believe it.

An arm! An arm! My kingdom for an arm. It seems like anyone will do anything for an arm, just to get a jab, how fascinating! Beautifully written Iza, a very entertaining post, and a wise one. Beautifully written, blessings Roy
Typo .: Body (suites) suits?

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Alas, what should have been a satirical rant is all too true--Amazon indeed has silicon arms--probably not intended for this purpose--but being used as you say--have people gotten away with it?

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Corona double dose is over, now third comes, but whither is result effective? People lost faith in revival, even some took vaccine on false arm bought; now what, whither manufacturers guarantee? New wave came, people dying even after double-dose; well said, well done; post more. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D R)

I am really direct of this pan-dem-ic. I can't wait for the day when we leave all of this behing.
Comment from Judy Lawless
Well I haven't heard of any of this "buy and arm" business going on in Ontario, yet. That's just crazy. I don't know how it would work when a Health Card Number is needed to get a shot and they are all recorded. But it's a strange world, so who knows. Thanks for the chuckle, Iza.

I think it works because you are masked when you get the shot and you can use the real person health care card
Comment from lancellot
Very interesting. I knew about the fake cards, but I didn't know about the fake arms or having a homeless person take the shot under your name. It makes perfect sense, where their is a market, cash will exchange hands. And, yes, I'm up to three shots now and this is clearly not a vaccine. Not if you can 1) still contract it, 2) still transmit it, 3) still get sick from it.
No, this is not how vaccines work.

I am not sure anymore how vaccines works, because so far I don't see a way out of this pandemic.
Comment from BethShelby
Wow! That is hard to believe that some people are willing to pay a homeless person to get the shot in their place because they are either so afraid of it or so determined to beat the system. It is even more amazing that there is a market for fake arms. Thanks goodness I've not see that kind of pressure here. Maybe it is coming but not so far. People are all shades of crazy.
