Ruined vaccines: 60 people got shots with intentionally spoiled drugs

Authorities arrested a suburban Milwaukee pharmacist Thursday suspected of deliberately ruining hundreds of doses of vaccine.

MADISON, WIS. — Authorities arrested a suburban Milwaukee pharmacist Thursday suspected of deliberately ruining hundreds of doses of coronavirus vaccine by removing them from refrigeration for two nights.

The arrest marks another setback in what has been a slower, messier start to vaccinate Americans than public health officials had expected. Leaders in Wisconsin and other states have been begging the Trump administration for more doses as health care workers and senior citizens line up for the lifesaving vaccine.

Police in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, said the Advocate Aurora Health pharmacist was arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment, adulterating a prescription drug and criminal damage to property, all felonies. The pharmacist has been fired and police said in a news release that he was in jail. Police did not identify the pharmacist, saying he has not yet been formally charged.

His motive remains unclear. Police said that detectives believe he knew the spoiled doses would be useless and people who received them would mistakenly think they'd been vaccinated when they hadn't.

But if he spoiled them to make people believe that they didn't work...then that means he knew they would work otherwise...which means he believes they do work. Unless he is anti-vax for other reasons (believing they work but have other, evil purposes).

Either way, he endangered people's lives and deserves punishment.

"anti vax pharmacist" is a phrase that, when uttered, should just instantly kill the entire species

Well, the article said his motive remains unclear. Where are you getting that he was anti-vax and he was trying to prove vaccines don't work?

What in the hell. I saw the previous headline, but I had no idea he injected them with it.

If he knew the vaccines had to be tampered with to be ineffective, why was he an anti-vaxxer? What a genius.

Fucking moron. Being a pharmacist at this moment is probably one of cushiest jobs you can have.

Anyone who deliberately tampers with the vaccine in any way needs to be jailed, full stop.

Disgusting.

Is there any direct side effects to these people being given a spoiled vaccine? Does it just not work, or can it actually be hazardous to people?

Remove the license and then more importantly lock this dumb fuck away. He's not ready for society with this much malice

It's amazing how assholes consistently try to substantiate their skepticism of the systems that define reality not by meticulously disproving those systems, but by deliberately sabotaging them and calling their meddling an inevitable flaw.
