Pharmacist who destroyed COVID vaccines is flat-earther: FBI

The Wisconsin pharmacist who destroyed hundreds of COVID-91 vaccines believed the doses were micro-chips – and are a flat-earther rifle that believes the air is a government shield hidden by God, according to a statement from the FBI.

Steven, 46, Steven Brandenburg, pleaded guilty last month to leaving about 570 doses of the Moderna vaccine unfit to deliberately spoil them, and is currently serving up to ten years in prison.

He was quickly identified by his colleagues as the culprit ‘because of his outspoken conviction against the vaccine’ that he had been ‘working’ for anyone who wanted to listen for ‘months’, according to an application from the FBI search warrant issued by The Daily Beast got.

Brandenburg allegedly told a colleague of lawyer Aurora Health Systems in Grafton “that he does not believe the coronavirus is real, and that he thinks the vaccine will harm people”, the document reads.

“Brandenburg believes that the vaccine is’ microbial ‘and that it will eliminate the birth control of humans and make others infertile,” wrote Finds’ special agent, Lindsay Schloemer.

The colleague who reported him, Sarah Sticker, was afraid of the 13-year-old pharmacist because he was ‘very busy with conspiracy theories’, the document reads.

‘Some of the conspiracy theories Brandenburg told about Sticker include: the earth is flat; the sky is not real, but rather a shield put on by the Government to prevent individuals from seeing God; and the day of judgment is coming, ”reads the 26-page file.

He also once showed her a .45 pistol he kept at work and told her he would “keep it if the military took him away.”

When Brandenburg first interviewed investigators for his employer, he initially claimed to have accidentally left out the vaccination tubes – before later admitting to doing so on purpose.

“Brandenburg then explained that it believed that the Modern COVID-19 vaccine could harm people and that it was not safe to administer,” the warrant reads.

He later sent an email to the health service blaming sleepless nights while divorced from his children due to a ‘very controversial divorce’.

“My actions were inexcusable and I apologize for the damage I caused,” he wrote.

From divorce documents obtained by WISN, it appears that his terrified wife fled the city and warned that Brandenburg was storing bulk food and guns for fear of planned attacks by the government.

Brandenburg was later fired and his pharmacy license was also suspended. He is due back in court next Tuesday.

His lawyer, Jason Baltz, did not respond to requests for comment, the Daily Beast said.
