A comedian famously spoke out about the bizarre moment when he saw an Australian antivaxxer selling a prosthetic arm online so that others could ‘fake’ getting Covid vaccine.
Michael Shafar, a Melbourne-based resident, shared the left field offer that would cost those who dare to try it a cool 1,500 on TikTok.
The clip has been viewed nearly 287,000 times.
“It’s for those who don’t want to get vaccinated… if that’s not possible, you can always turn up to your appointment dressed as Henry the Octopus.”
The advertisement was posted in a Victoria Sell Your Stuff Facebook group. It appears that the advertisement is selling both left and right-arm options.
This is best worn under a winter coat to hide your good arm. Available in different skin colours. It read, “Registered express delivery.”

“I don’t know what’s happening… the pandemic has shown me all.” We don’t have any control over anything.
