You can buy just about anything over the internet these days. However, not all things that are offered for sale are legal. Now, for example, Dutch police have arrested a man for offering a kit of coronaviruses over the Internet. This is said to allow buyers to infect themselves with the insidious virus.
Many hospitals in European countries are now once again reaching their breaking point because of the Corona pandemic. And the newly discovered Omicron variant could soon complicate the panorama even more. As if that wasn’t enough, a Dutch dealer is offering so-called Corona kits, which people can then use to infect themselves with Covid-19. What sounds like a very bad joke is actually reality. Vaccination opponents are offered a kit with corona viruses for self-infection. With this kit, vaccination opponents are supposed to infect themselves in order to be considered recovered after the infection and to be able to participate in public life again. The Dutchman, who has now been arrested, offered the so-called coronavirus kit in his online shop. As confirmed by the Dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf”, interested customers could have bought the kit via an online shop on the now blocked website jaikwilcorona.nl (Yes, I want Corona). For 33.50 euros, buyers could then have ordered a so-called “Corona kit” that would allow them to infect themselves with the virus.
Now, however, the seller of the highly dangerous product has been arrested. The man had been advertising his product on the website. The viruses contained in the kits were guaranteed not older than 3 months, Even latest mutations and variant should be included in the kit. Supposedly including the Delta variant, which is of particular danger. “After you are infected, a test will initially be positive and later, when you are cured, it will be negative. With a recovery certificate, you can then go back on the road without vaccination,” the Dutchman made warning for his Corona kit. “With this deliberate contamination, the suspect has probably taken advantage of the 2G policy. This means that you either have to be vaccinated or declared cured to get a QR code,” a spokeswoman for the Dutch tax authorities, who had been investigating the seller, was quoted as saying by De Telegraaf newspaper. One thing, however, reassures the authorities. They have no idea how many orders the man had already placed before the police were able to put a stop to him.
