Pharmacist who intentionally destroyed COVID vaccine doses gets 3 years in prison – DeadState

Pharmacist who intentionally destroyed COVID vaccine doses gets 3 years in prison

This Tuesday, a federal judge handed down a sentence in the case of a Wisconsin pharmacist who admitted to destroying 500 doses, NBC News reports. Steven Brandenburg pled guilty to two counts of attempting to tamper with consumer products with reckless disregard back in January.

After completing his 3-year prison sentence, Brandenburg will serve another three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $83,000 in restitution.


“The purposeful attempt to spoil vaccine doses during a national public health emergency is a serious crime,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton said in a statement. “The Department of Justice will continue working with its law enforcement partners to safeguard these life-saving vaccine.”

According to WTMJ, Brandenburg told the court that he was “desperately sorry and ashamed” for his actions.

“I just want to finish by saying I am greatly ashamed and I thank you, your honor, for allowing me to say that,” he said.

According to prosecutors, Brandenburg intentionally removed doses of the Moderna vaccine from a refrigerator while working overnight shifts in December, potentially rendering them ineffective. He then returned the doses to the refrigerator after knowing the’y’d been left out for some time. His actions resulted in 57 people being injected with the potentially ineffective doses.

Police said Brandenburg is an “admitted conspiracy theorist” who “told investigators that he believed that Covid-19 vaccine was not safe for people and could harm them and change their DNA.”

GOP lawmaker charged with opening Capitol doors to rioters now has a ‘really bad case of COVID’ – DeadState

GOP lawmaker charged with opening Capitol doors to rioters now has a ‘really bad case of COVID’

A Republican state lawmaker charged with opening the Oregon Capitol building doors to rioters says he has fallen ill with COVID-19, The Oregonian reports.

Rep. Mike Nearman (R-Independence) was criminally charged last month for letting right-wing protesters enter the state Capitol on Dec. 21 during a special session.

“I have a really bad case of COVID and I’m kind of on the mend a little bit,” Rep. Mike Nearman said on a conservative radio talk show.

As The Oregonian pointed out last month, Nearman‘s first-degree official misconduct charge is for “allegedly knowingly taking action that constituted an unauthorized exercise of his official duties to benefit someone else.” He’s also charged for “allegedly abetting another person to enter and remain in the Capitol.”

“The Oregon State Police spent over four months investigating me. … Do you think these guys have anything better to do?” Nearman told the Lars Larsen Show on Wednesday.

While lawmakers were debating whether to extend the state’s eviction moratorium and other COVID-related funding on Dec. 21, demonstrators had gathered outside to protest the state’s COVID restrictions. Security video shows Nearman opening a door to the state Capitol, allowing protesters to breach the building. They then fought with Oregon State Police and Salem police who tried to push them back. The police were ultimately overrun by the protesters — some of whom were armed with guns — after they sprayed police with a chemical substance. The protesters then made their way into the vestibule, where they were met by police who were ultimately able to contain the situation and remove them.

Despite his COVID diagnosis, Nearman thinks pandemic restrictions should be voluntary.

“Let’s set up some options where people have freedom to do what they want,” Nearman said. “If you want to be masked and you want to be quarantined, go be quarantined. If you want to be out in public and that’s an acceptable risk to you, then you can do that.”

Chinese doctors say Delta variant's symptoms different, more dangerous | TheHill

Chinese doctors say Delta variant's symptoms different, more dangerous

Doctors in China say symptoms of the Delta COVID-19 variant, which was first detected in India, are different and more dangerous than the original version of the coronavirus, as the strain continues to spread across the globe.

Chinese doctors, according to The New York Times, have found that patients infected with the Delta variant are becoming sicker and their conditions are worsening at a quicker speed.

As many as 12 percent of patients have become severely or critically ill within three to four days after symptoms first developed, the Times reported, citing Guan Xiangdong, director of critical care medicine at Sun Yat-sen University in the city of Guangzhou.

Previously, only 2 or 3 percent of patients had become severely or critically ill within that time period, with the number sometimes creeping up to 10 percent, according to Xiangdong.

Four-fifth of symptomatic cases reportedly developed fevers, doctors told state-run television, according to the Times, though they said it is unclear how that statistic compared to other versions of the virus.

The new information from doctors in China comes as global concerns are growing regarding the Delta variant, which has spread to a number of countries.

The regional director of the World Health Organization’s Europe office said on Thursday that the strain is “poised to take hold” on the continent, as the United Kingdom faces an outbreak of the variant.

On Friday, the U.K.’s health secretary said the Delta variant makes up 91 percent of new cases in the country, according to the BBC.

I slummed it a little and read some articles on the site. Seems there is Climate Engineering going on resulting in earthquakes and the western US drought. I was a little disappointed in that they never actually said how we are engineering the climate or who is doing it. I am guessing it was "Them".
