A hospital worker in his suburb. Milwaukee, who works as a pharmacist, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of deliberately destroying hundreds of doses of Modern vaccine for the coronavirus, taking them out of the fridge for two nights.
In accordance with Associated Press, citing Grafton police sources, the man who worked in the pharmacy of one of the NGO’s hospitals Advocate for Aurora Health, was arrested on suspicion of criminal exposure to risk, counterfeiting prescription drugs, and property damage.
The pharmacist, who allegedly admitted his act, has already been fired from his job and the local police indicate in a statement that he is in custody.
The hospital employee’s motives have not been released at this time. The police believe that the pharmacist in question knew very well that the “spoiled” doses would be wasted and that the people to whom it was delivered would mistakenly believe that they had been effectively vaccinated against the coronavirus.
An NGO spokesperson told reporters yesterday that the pharmacist deliberately removing 57 vials from refrigeration containing hundreds of doses of the Modern vaccine on the night of December 24. Then he put them back in place and took them out of the fridge again the next night. The vials contained multiple doses to vaccinate 570 people!
A pharmacy employee discovered the vials outside the refrigerator on the morning of December 26, and the pharmacist initially justified their removal by accessing the back of the refrigerator and forgetting to put them away. The Moderna vaccine is viable for 12 hours without coolingSo the nurses used the vials to vaccinate 57 people and then threw the rest away. According to the Police, the value of the doses that ended up in the garbage is between $ 8,000-11,000.
The pharmacist’s behavior aroused the suspicions of the health system auditors who investigated the incident. After multiple interviews, he admitted last Wednesday that he deliberately took the vaccine out of the refrigerator both nights, according to a spokesperson for Advocate Aurora Health.
