A Pharmacist Who Tried to Ruin Coronavirus Vaccines Has Been Sentenced to Prison
A former Wisconsin pharmacist who purposely sabotaged hundreds of COVID-19 vaccine doses last year was sentenced to three years in prison on Tuesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced.
Steven Brandenburg, 46, was also sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $83,800 to the hospital where he previously worked.
In January, Brandenburg pleaded guilty to two counts of “attempting to tamper with consumer products with reckless disregard for the risk that another person will be placed in danger of death or bodily injury.”
