意大利一名牙医不愿接种新冠疫苗，欲骗得已接种证明，竟然戴上硅胶假肢去接种，最终被发现。他可能因此遭刑事诉讼。

 

A dentist in Italy faces possible criminal charges after trying to receive a coronavirus vaccine¹ in a fake arm made of silicone.

意大利一名牙医可能面临刑事指控，因为他试图用硅胶假手臂接种新冠疫苗。

 

A nurse in the northern city of Biella, Filippa Bua, said she could tell right away that something was off when a man presented the phony limb for a shot on Thursday.

该国北部城市比耶拉的护士菲利帕·布阿说，当一名男子12月2日试图用假肢来接种时，她马上就感觉到了不对劲。

 

"When I uncovered the arm, I felt skin that was cold and gummy, and the color was too light," Bua told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

布阿在接受意大利《晚邮报》采访时表示：“当他露出手臂时，我感到他的皮肤冰冷粘稠，颜色也太浅。”

 

She said she initially² thought the 57-year-old man was an amputee and had mistakenly offered the wrong arm. She lifted his shirt and saw a silicone arm.

布阿表示，她一开始以为这名57岁的男子是截肢者，误将手臂伸错了。后来，她掀起该男子的衬衫后，看到了一只硅胶手臂。

 

"I understood immediately that the man was trying to avoid the vaccination³ by using a silicone prosthetic, into which he hoped that I would inject the drug, unaware⁴, Bua said.

布阿说：“我立刻明白了，这名男子是想用硅胶假肢来逃避接种疫苗，他希望骗过我给他注射疫苗。”

 

The nurse said the man acknowledged he did not want a vaccine but to obtain a "super" health pass, which from Monday will be required to enter restaurants, cinemas, theaters and other venues⁵ in Italy.

这名护士称，该男子承认他不想接种疫苗，只是想获得一张“超级”健康通行证。从12月6日开始，要想进入意大利的餐馆、电影院、剧院和其他场所时，必须要出示该通行证。

 

He had already been suspended from work because of his refusal to get vaccinated⁶, which Italy requires for medical personnel.

由于拒绝接种疫苗，他已经被停职。意大利要求医务人员接种疫苗。

 

The nurse said the man was courteous⁷ and left the vaccination center after the failed attempt.

护士说这名男子很有礼貌，在尝试失败后离开了疫苗接种中心。

 

"We stopped and reflected, and we understood that this wasn't just a surreal situation, but a real attempt at fraud," Bua said. She and others at the vaccination site turned paperwork over to superiors so they could report the case, which has been given to prosecutors⁸.

布阿说：“我们停下来消化这件事，意识到这不仅仅是一个魔幻的举动，而是真正的欺诈企图。”她和疫苗接种现场的其他人将相关文件交给了上级，以便他们能够报告这起案件，而案件已经交给了当地检察官。

 

While Italy's vaccination rate is relatively⁹ high at 85% of the currently eligible¹⁰ population ages 12 and over, people in the the age range from 30 to 59 have proven the most resistant¹¹ to vaccinations¹², with nearly 3.5 million still not having received their first doses.

虽然意大利的疫苗接种率相对较高，12岁以上符合接种资格的人群接种率为85%。但该国年龄在30至59岁之间的人群中，仍有近350万人未进行第一次接种。这一群体对疫苗的抵制最强烈。
