Wisconsin health system: Worker deliberately spoiled vaccine

[dflprincess]

The article does not speculate on what the motive may have been. I'm just guessing it was a Trumper who thought s/he was striking a blow for "free-dumb".

GRAFTON, Wis. — A Wisconsin health system said Wednesday that 500 doses of coronavirus vaccine that had to be discarded after they were left unrefrigerated now appear to have been deliberately spoiled by an employee.

Aurora Medical Center first reported on the spoiled doses on Saturday, and said they had been accidentally left out overnight by an employee at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton.

In a statement late Wednesday, Aurora said the employee involved "today acknowledged that they intentionally removed the vaccine from refrigeration."

Aurora's statement said they had fired the employee and referred the matter to authorities for further investigation. Their statement said nothing about a possible motive for the action, and health system officials didn't immediately respond to messages seeking more information.

"We continue to believe that vaccination is our way out of the pandemic. We are more than disappointed that this individual's actions will result in a delay of more than 500 people receiving their vaccine," the statement said.

Aurora declined to provide additional information, but said they would provide more details Thursday.

Our Daughter whom is on the Front Lines in Denver area,has said she has to deal with Medical people whom think this Virus is a Hoax. As she said over the weekend,they just make here job that much more terrifying. Her patients are special needs,Vets,and Homeless persons. She is the one who has to make those calls to Relatives. As she said,some one has to do it.
