_paid hundreds of euros for the silicone prosthetic_

And probably a lot more in fines. Surely finding a less than ethical nurse or technician to bribe would be easier and possibly less risk since they can just decline before you give your name. How inebriated would a nurse have to be to think a prosthetic arm is real? I suppose if one were to try this, at least give it the old college try and put that arm in a sling and cast so you can't be expected to make a fist or move your arm.

There's something I don't get. These people might escape the vaccine, but do they think they're going to escape the real virus? Or do they think there's anything in the vaccine which isn't in the virus too?

I think it's not surprising some people are going insane because they don't trust the institutions (justifiably so, after showing double standards and corruption in some cases) and those institution's response is to punish, shame, ostracize the people who question them, and to do so with help of large corporations, namely big tech.

I don't get why anyone who doesn't belong in a risk group is afraid of the virus? I'd rather obtain natural immunity for a flu-like virus instead of resorting to vaccines that use a new technology and aren't long-term tested.

Arnt wrote at 2021-12-03 18:36:12:

Because the virus is dangerous for the risk groups, and one of the risk groups is "people in an area where the hospitals are currently overloaded". If you're confident that you're not in another risk group and that you'll catch it at a time when few other people are infected, then you've little to worry about.

A digression.

It seems at least plausible that more person-months have now been lived by people who've been vaccinated using Biontech/Pfizer and AZ vaccines than by people who've recovered from the disease. If so, then one might say that the riskier option _viewed purely in terms of long-term experience_ is natural immunity.

They think the vaccine is some manner of poison, either accidentally or intentional.

In theory, original antigenic sin can prevent your body's immune system from responding to mutated strains. Not so much a poison, more like a poison pill to your bodies machine learning algorithm.

Haha! Article doesn't mention whether he ended up getting the jab in his real arm though.

He was not, after the nurse discovered the trick he still insisted to be injected in the fake arm. She refused obviously.
