In a surprising turn of events, a British doctor named Thomas Kwan admitted in court that he tried to kill his mother’s partner using a fake COVID-19 vaccine. The 53-year-old doctor from Sunderland dressed up as a nurse and even took his own mother's blood pressure before injecting the victim with poison. The target, Patrick O’Hara, survived but got seriously ill due to necrotising fasciitis, a dangerous infection that affects the skin and fat.

Kwan pleaded guilty at Newcastle Crown Court after his trial began last week. He already admitted to giving someone a harmful substance. Prosecutors believe Kwan was worried about his mother's will, which said O’Hara would inherit her house if he outlived her. The doctor used his knowledge of poisons and disguised himself with a wig and false ID to carry out the plan. He even checked into a hotel under a fake name and put false number plates on his car.

It's important to think about why someone would do something so extreme. Could it be greed, fear, or a mix of both? This case is a reminder that even people in trusted positions can do terrible things when pushed to their limits. It also shows how careful we need to be with medical procedures and who performs them.
