GRAFTON, Wis. — The FBI and the Food & Drug Administration are investigating the person who left 57 vials of the Moderna vaccine out of a pharmacy refrigerator at Aurora Medical Center-Grafton.

Advocate Aurora Health now says it was an intentional act.

After an internal investigation, it was first believed to be human error.

The person in question Wednesday admitted they intentionally removed the vaccine from refrigeration.


The employee has been fired.

Isn't this willful destruction of company property? That's a crime, not just a fireable offense.

authorities are on it. They're going to be concerned about others vandalizing vaccination supplies.

It's a shame, but it's almost certain to hurt this person more than anyone else.

and then there are the health care workers who refuse to get vaccinated. Got a feeling we're not going to be in that good of shape by fall. Because of selfish and sometimes stupid assholes, this crisis will be with us a LONG time...
