Police say people were fraudulently obtaining Covid passes by having fake vaccinations in Palermo
Italian police have arrested a nurse in Palermo for allegedly pretending to give Covid vaccines to anti-vaxxer activists so they could benefit from official health certificates to travel and access bars, restaurants and public transport in the country.
Investigators used a hidden camera to film the nurse, a 58-year-old woman working at an inoculation centre in the Sicilian capital. The clip, released on Saturday on Twitter, shows the health worker apparently loading up a dose of Covid-19 vaccine and then emptying the syringe into a tissue before pretending to inject it into the arms of anti-vaxxers.
#Digos Palermo ha arrestato un’infermiera impiegata presso il reparto malattie infettive, autrice di fittizie vaccinazioni contro il #Covid_19 È indagata per falso ideologico e peculato. Anche lei avrebbe beneficiato di una falsa vaccinazione relativa alla dose booster #15gennaio pic.twitter.com/rQnZi5Q69t
Police said the woman’s own booster dose was fake and arrested her on charges of forgery and embezzlement .
It is not the first time a nurse has been arrested in Italy for pretending to inject Covid vaccines. Dozens of health workers, including at least three doctors, have been charged or investigated on suspicion of administering fake jabs to people in recent months, with some paying up to €400 (£330) each for the service.
Last Wednesday, an Italian nurse in Ancona in the Marche region was arrested for allegedly giving fake Covid vaccines to at least 45 people. The health worker allegedly emptied vaccines into a medical waste bin.
According to investigators, anti-vaccine protesters were willing to pay up to €300 for the service in order to receive the so-called “super green pass”, introduced by the Italian government last December and required to access cinemas, gyms, nightclubs and stadiums, as well as to be served indoors at bars and restaurants.
The nurse arrested on Friday in Palermo is the second health worker from the same hospital in the city to end up in prison. On 21 December, Sicilian investigators uncovered another alleged scam with dozens of anti-vaccination holdouts, including a police officer, paying a nurse up to €400 to give them fake jabs.
The woman, who faces charges of corruption and forgery, recently pleaded guilty and began to collaborate with authorities by revealing the details of the scam and the names of her accomplices. The woman told investigators she injected fake vaccines because she needed money to support her son at university. The nurse also confessed to providing anti-vaxxers with fake certificates with negative Covid swab results.
“We have uncovered the dark and fraudulent plots of these diehard, no-vax people who do not hesitate to break the law,” the Palermo police commissioner, Leopoldo Laricchia, said in a statement. “This investigation also shows how, unfortunately, there are still unvaccinated health workers who work in hospitals in close contact with patients.”
As countries in Europe scramble to impose stricter rules to halt the outbreak of the Omicron variant, increasing numbers of anti-vaxxers are attempting to skirt the law to obtain vaccine passports.
Early in December, in Biella, a town close to Turin in the northern Piedmont region, a man turned up for his Covid-19 vaccine wearing a fake arm made of silicone . After completing the bureaucratic formalities, including signing a consent form in front of a doctor, the man, a 50-year-old dentist, sat down and lifted up the sleeve of his shirt as he prepared for a health worker to administer the jab.
But after taking a closer look and touching the arm, the nurse asked the man to take off his shirt. His plan foiled, he then tried to persuade the health worker to turn a blind eye.
The Omicron variant accounts for more than 80% of coronavirus cases in Italy as the daily number of new infections has begun to fall in recent days. Rome is expected to reach 95% vaccine coverage by May.

A 34-year-old Italian nurse treating COVID-19 patients in the hard-struck European country has taken her own life for fear of having spread the illness, according to a nursing organization there.
Daniela Trezzi worked in the intensive care unit of San Gerardo of Monza Hospital, according to a translated statement from the National Federation of Nurses of Italy, in a region described as “one of the major Italian fronts of the pandemic.”
Trezzi and her colleagues treating quarantined patients showing coronavirus symptoms felt “heavy stress for fear of having infected others,” according to the federation, which noted the “pain and dismay” of its members “at the news of a young colleague who has not made it.”
The federation went on to implore people to stand by the nurses on the front lines of the crisis.
“Nurses never leave anyone alone, even at the risk -- and it is evident -- of one's life,” a translation of the statement reads. “You can’t leave the nurses alone.”
Trezzi had been at home sick since March 10, her hospital’s general manager Mario Alparone told the federation, adding that she had not been placed under observation.
Italy and Spain, two hard-hit countries struggling to deal with the pandemic, have seen their hospitals and medical workers overwhelmed, Fox News has reported .
The crisis has led to widespread infections among people working to treat existing patients, with nearly a tenth of Italy’s cases afflicting medical workers.
The nursing federation said that last week, another nurse killed herself under similar circumstances in Venice.
In addition, 33 doctors have died, according to the Italian Federation of Doctors, although it was unclear if all of them were in service at the time.
The total death toll in Italy has surpassed 7,500 , according to authorities there, but the number of new cases in the country has stalled for the fourth straight day.

Italian nurse: 'An experience I would compare to a world war'

Medical staff describe immense pressure and war-like conditions in fight to treat patients
A nurse on the frontline of Italy’s coronavirus outbreak has described the experience as “war-like”.
Doctors and nurses are working around the clock as the country tries to halt the spread of a virus that has so far claimed over 1,000 Italian lives .
Among the dead was a 59-year-old doctor and close friend of Roberta Re, a nurse at Piacenza hospital in Emilia-Romagna, the region with the second highest number of cases.
“It’s an experience I would compare to a world war,” Re told the Guardian. “But it’s a war that isn’t fightable with traditional arms – as we don’t yet know who the enemy is and so it’s difficult to fight. The only weapon we do have to avoid things getting even worse is to stay at home and to respect the rules, to do what they did in China, as this is paying off.”
Italy, which has had the worst coronavirus outbreak outside of China, tightened quarantine restrictions on Thursday after the death toll leapt. The total number of people infected since the epidemic began, including the deaths and those who have recovered, reached over 15,000 on Thursday.
“I’m usually a happy person, chatting and joking with everyone … but now there are days when I have cried and been depressed,” added Re.
Other medics at the centre of the outbreak have made harrowing pleas over social media, and have shared images of exhausted staff as their hospitals buckle under the pressure. Andrea Vercelli, who works in the emergency unit at Piacenza hospital, said in a Facebook video: “What we are experiencing is not a normal flu, we are getting 40 cases a day of pneumonia in the emergency room.”
Daniele Macchini, a doctor at Humanitas Gavazzeni hospital in the badly-affected province of Bergamo in the Lombardy region, wrote on Facebook a few days before the entire country was quarantined: “The situation is nothing short of dramatic. The war has literally exploded and the battle is uninterrupted, day and night.”
Meanwhile, Codacons, Italy’s main consumer association, has asked prosecutors in Bergamo to investigate after an anaesthetist in the intensive care unit at the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital told the newspaper Corriere della Sera that the pressure was so immense that saving a life “is decided by age and health conditions … as in situations of war”.
“In no case can age be a discriminating factor when it comes to public health, and it certainly cannot be a criteria to decide who to treat and who not to treat,” Carlo Rienzi, the president of Codacons, said in a statement. “A shortage of beds must not lead to choices like those described by the doctor.”
The virus has infected many doctors and nurses as they worked. Roberto Stella, the president of the order of doctors in Varese, Lombardy, died on Wednesday. The 67-year-old was tending to patients until he started to suffer symptoms and went into intensive care himself last Friday.
“He died a hero, like other colleagues who have died in recent days,” Saverio Chiaravalle, vice-president of the Varese doctors order, told Corriere della Sera.
Prime minister Giuseppe Conte repeated his call for Italians to “stay at home” as he announced the closure of shops, bars and restaurants across the country on Wednesday in an additional step to try and contain the virus.
“People need to understand that the situation is very serious,” said Re. “The fundamental thing is to close everything, as well as to educate adolescents to have a concept of how serious this is.”

As Italy faces one of the largest outbreaks of coronavirus , Italian nurses are taking to social media to share what it's really like trying to save lives during the global pandemic.
Selfies featuring their exhausted and bruised faces have gone viral on social media. These injuries come from them wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) day after day, hour after hour. Yet, they also share messages of hope — and a warning for people to stay home to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Nicola Sgarbi, a nurse in Italy, wrote about his experience on Facebook. His post was written in Italian and was shared 74,000 times. Here is a rough translation of his message:
“I don’t love selfies. Yesterday, though, I took this photo. After 13 hours in the ICU after taking off all my protective devices. I don't feel like a hero ... I am a normal person, who loves his job and who, now more than ever, is proud and proud to do it by giving all himself on the forefront lines together with other wonderful people (doctors, nurses, oss, technicians, cleaners)."

Sgarbi and other nurses are raising awareness about the experiences of health care workers helping to treat patients with COVID-19. Many countries, including the U.S., face critical shortages of masks and other PPE devices . While Sgarbi and others paint a picture of a dire future, he also offers hope.
“It will also pass thanks to you and your hard work and sacrifices,” he wrote. “It will pass if we are united … don’t give up.”
Martina Benedetti is an intensive care nurse in Tuscany. She shared a picture of her bruises on social media and the image quickly went viral. The Facebook post describes the frenetic pace she and her colleagues keep every day as they treat patients with COVID-19.
“Drops of sweat falling from your face, a face melting under the … mask, plastic glasses, visor, cap, wrapped in a waterproof coat, maybe two sizes (too big),” the translation of her post reads. It has been shared 56,000 times. She continued: “‘The patient must be intubated’ … ‘Is desaturating’ … ‘Is hypotensive’ … Run, keep sweating … Prepare the drug with two pairs of gloves that limit your habit movements of your hands."
Like so many others, Benedetti struggles not to touch her face, but she knows that doing it protects the health and safety of herself and her patients.
“You must constantly repeat to yourself that you can’t touch your head if your hair elastic hurts, if your nose itches,” the translation of her message reads. “(You) finish your work.”
Benedetti also shared a warning to those who don’t think they need to stay home because they won’t get sick. She said the coronavirus is “not like this” and if they continue going out, they endanger other people, the people she’s working long shifts to help.
“To the question, ‘Why am I going to work?’ I answer that morally. I do it for all the people who have become side effects of other people’s irresponsibility and obligation because our health care system can’t help us right now,” she wrote.
While Benedetti is frustrated by how COVID-19 stressed the Italian health care system, she explains why she keeps returning.
“You look for the strength you have inside,” she said. “I thank those who in these difficult days (reached out) even with a simple message.”
Already Americans are trying show support for health care employees in the U.S. with #Solidarityat8, where people open their doors and bang on pots and pans in gratitude.
At 8pm ET, my husband and I went on our front porch to clap & cheer healthcare professionals, first responders, scientists & truck drivers! Thank you to them and many more “helpers.” #solidarityat8 Day 2. pic.twitter.com/kof7fXkpOm
