The Wisconsin pharmacist who destroyed hundreds of COVID-91 vaccines believed that the doses were microchipped – and is another weapon bearer who thinks heaven is a government shield that hides God, according to an FBI statement.
Steven Brandenburg, 46, pleaded guilty last month for leaving about 570 doses of the Modern vaccine without refrigeration to deliberately spoil them, and now faces up to 10 years in prison.
He was quickly identified as the culprit by his colleagues “because of his vocal convictions against the vaccine”, which he had been expressing “for months at work for anyone who wanted to hear”, according to an FBI search warrant request obtained. by The Daily Beast.
Brandenburg reportedly told a colleague at Advocate Aurora Health Systems in Grafton “that he doesn’t believe the coronavirus is real, and he thinks the vaccine will harm people,” the document said.
“Brandenburg thinks the vaccine is ‘microchipped’ and will turn people off birth control and make others infertile,” wrote FBI special agent Lindsay Schloemer.
The colleague who denounced him, Sarah Sticker, was alarmed by the 13-year-old pharmacist because he “was too involved in conspiracy theories,” the document said.
“Some of the conspiracy theories Brandenburg told Sticker about include: the land is flat; the sky is not real, but a shield placed by the Government to prevent individuals from seeing God; and Judgment Day is coming, ”said the 26-page document.
Once, he also showed her a .45 pistol that he kept with him at work – saying that he “kept it in case the military came to pick it up”.
When Brandenburg first interviewed by investigators for his employer, Brandenburg initially claimed that he left the vaccine bottles by mistake – before admitting that he had done it on purpose, the document claimed.
“Brandenburg then explained that he believed that the Modern COVID-19 vaccine could harm people and was not safe to administer,” says the warrant.
He later sent an email to the health service, blaming sleepless nights while being separated from his children because of a “very contentious divorce”.
“My actions were unforgivable and I deeply apologize for the harm I caused,” he wrote.
Divorce documents obtained by WISN show that his terrified wife fled the city and warned that Brandenburg was storing bulk food and weapons for fear of planned government attacks.
Brandenburg was later dismissed and also had his pharmacist license suspended. He is due back in court next Tuesday.
His lawyer, Jason Baltz, did not respond to requests for comment, the Daily Beast said.
