Many employers are requiring vaccines and some people are getting quite creative in their attempted work-arounds. I’m Brian Banmiller on Business.

Cities and states in the US and a number of European countries are requiring a vaccine to enter into most businesses or entertainment venues. Many public and private employers are requiring them to continue getting a paycheck. And for one reason or another many people still do not want to get a shot but would like to continue working and going out to eat. A dentist in Italy wanted a vaccine pass so badly that he bought a fake arm and attempted to pass it off as his real one for a shot. The nurse said she could tell right away that something was wrong because the skin was cold and gummy. She soon discovered it was a silicone arm and the man was hoping she wouldn’t notice. The nurse said the man explained he wanted a pass and had been suspended from work because of his refusal to get vaccinated. Now in addition to that, he’s also facing possible criminal charges. I can’t have it both ways. Brian Banmiller, CBS News.
