A retired postman from northern India is making headlines after hoodwinking health officials en route to receiving a multitude of coronavirus vaccine doses, Complex reports.
The New York Times reports that Brahmadeo Mandal, an 85-year-old resident of the eastern Bihar state, has received 12 COVID-19 vaccines since getting his first dose on Feb. 13 of last year.
“I felt that it was helping my general health,” Mandal told the NYT. “My backache has improved, my general weakness improved, and my appetite improved.”
Even after getting the jab a dozen times, Mandal claims he has no plans of stopping after his 12th dose. “I still want more,” he said.
As for how he was able to trick health officials, Mandal says he used his national identity card and his mobile number for nine of the 12 shots. From there, he duped the system by going to different locations and using the identities and phone numbers of relatives. Read more at Complex.

What’s the big deal? If you take the ones Prime Ministers, Presidents, leaders of communities and upper class people take, you can take 100 and you won’t get hurt.
“I felt that it was helping my general health,” Mandal told the NYT. “My backache has improved, my general weakness improved, and my appetite improved.”
His testimonial on the vaccine sounds like one of these Balance of Nature testimonials you hear on the radio: “After taking Balance of Nature for a while, I noticed I started feeling more energetic, my mental acuity increased. I stand up better than I used to etc.”
Nevertheless, if this guy from India feels the vaccine is improving his overall health, then he feels that way. Who am I to argue with him.
