US pharmacist jailed for tampering with COVID vaccines

A former US pharmacist who purposefully ruined more than 500 doses of COVID-19 vaccine has been jailed

Wisconsin-based pharmacist Stephen Brandenburg pleaded guilty to trying to spoil hundreds of COVID vaccines because he was ‘skeptical of them.’

He was jailed for three years after he purposefully removed vaccines from a dedicated refrigerator.

He had admitted to intentionally removing the doses manufactured by Moderna from a refrigerator for hours at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, located just north of Milwaukee.

In a statement before receiving his sentence, Brandenburg said he felt “great shame” and accepted responsibility for his actions. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported he apologised to his co-workers, family and the community.

Reports state that Aurora destroyed most of the tampered doses, but not before 57 people received inoculations from the supply.

Those doses are believed to have still been effective, but weeks of uncertainty created a storm of anger, anxiety, and anguish among the recipients, according to court documents.

Court statements claim that Brandenburg purposefully removed a box of COVID-19 vaccine vials from a hospital refrigeration unit during two successive overnight shifts in December last year.

The pharmacist was also ordered to pay $83,800 in compensation to the Wisconsin Hospital where he worked.

Israel seeks to damage Iran’s Fordow facility before halting operations; Trump suggests US knows Khamenei’s location, avoids assassination.

In Short:
Israel aims to damage Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and is seeking US assistance, despite uncertainty about American military involvement. Tensions rise as President Trump holds national security meetings, contemplating military options against Iran.

Israel plans to continue its operations against Iran until the Fordow nuclear facility is significantly damaged. The facility, located underground near Qom, is crucial for uranium enrichment.

Israel acknowledges that its own military capabilities cannot reach the depths of Fordow, but it is relying on the United States for support.

Israel’s National Security Advisor, Tzachi Hanegbi, indicated ongoing discussions with US officials but expressed uncertainty regarding US involvement in military actions.

Iran’s nuclear weapon

Many in Israel and the West suspect that Fordow is part of Iran’s nuclear weapon development, a claim that Iran denies.

President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early due to this ongoing conflict and convened a national security meeting at the White House.

The meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, included key security figures such as CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Reports suggest that Trump is considering the use of a “bunker buster” bomb against Fordow.
