Wisconsin pharmacist accused of spoiling Covid-19 vaccine has license suspended [View all]

Source: NBC News

A state board on Wednesday suspended the license of a Wisconsin pharmacist accused of ruining more than 500 doses of Covid-19 vaccine because he thought it was unsafe.

Steven Brandenburg was working at Advocate Aurora Health in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, when he was arrested last month following an investigation into the 57 spoiled vials of the Moderna vaccine. He has not been criminally charged. A status conference in the case is scheduled for Tuesday.

The Wisconsin Pharmacy Examining Board said in its order that Brandenburg cannot practice pharmacy while the suspension is in place. It said Brandenburg agreed to the action “in order to focus” on possible charges against him.

A detective wrote in a probable cause statement that Brandenburg, 46, is an admitted conspiracy theorist and that he told investigators he intentionally tried to ruin the vaccine because it could hurt people by changing their DNA.

Unfortunately there are plenty of people who should know better that are buying into ridiculous conspiracy theories about the Covid vaccines. The dental hygienist at our dentist, who we've been seeing for year, shocked my wife last week with the revelation that she's not going to get vaccinated because the vaccine makes women sterile.
