This paper had carried a report about a senior citizen being robbed by a woman who posed as a vaccine worker. To encapsulate, the report stated that a woman claiming to be a healthcare worker sent to administer a vaccine shot arrived at the home of a senior citizen. The old lady was with her grandchild at the time. Though she was hesitant to take any shot, the so-called worker asked for water. While the home owner went inside to get water, the woman gained access to the home, tied the lady and grandchild at knifepoint and robbed the home. She was eventually caught, but we certainly have a lesson to learn from this sordid event.

The pandemic has been fertile ground for all kinds of crimes. There has been, like this space has highlighted before, a substantial uptick in online financial scams. Then, there has also been black marketing of oxygen, bogus medication, hoarding… the list goes on.
