Pharmacist arrested on charges of sabotaging Moderna COVID vaccine doses
2021-01-02
[JPost] - A Wisconsin hospital pharmacist was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of sabotaging more than 500 doses of coronavirus vaccine by deliberately removing them from refrigeration to spoil, police and medical authorities said.

The pharmacist, an employee of Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin, at the time that 57 vials of vaccine were found left out of cold storage earlier this week, has since been fired but has not been publicly identified, officials said.

Each vial contains 10 doses. Nearly 60 of the doses in question were administered before hospital officials determined the medication had been left unrefrigerated long enough to render the vaccine ineffective. The remaining 500-plus doses were then discarded.

Moderna Inc, maker of the vaccine, has assured the hospital that receiving an injection of any of the doses removed from refrigeration poses no safety issue, other than leaving the recipient unprotected from COVID infection, said Dr. Jeff Bahr, Aurora Health Care Medical Group president.

Neither Aurora Health nor law enforcement offered any possible motive for the sabotage.
Some covid-skeptics are more activist than others?

#12  Got the first jab of it today. Waited 4 hours because it was a total clustergrope. Was just supposed to be for faculty and staff of where my wife works and apparently people were sharing the link so it got mobbed while every other vaccination site was empty. Apparently they just closed the others and brought it over to there.
