Yep, another one of those way-out-there conspracy theorists that we've all read so much about this year. This is what comes of believing and/or repeating all the BS the web spews out. Someone somewhere, low in intelligence, will fall for it and act on it.
The back story from Dec 31
https://www.foxnews.com/us/...e-wisconsin-hospital
"A suburban Milwaukee pharmacist who allegedly spoiled hundreds of COVID-19 doses by removing them from refrigeration has been arrested, authorities said Thursday.
The now-fired employee's actions resulted in 57 people receiving ineffective vaccine doses at the Advocate Aurora Health Hospital in Grafton, hospital officials said. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment, adulterating a prescription drug and criminal damage to property, all felonies, the Grafton Police Department said.
Authorities have not determined a motive. The pharmacist has not been identified.
Hospital officials said the unidentified pharmacist intentionally removed the 57 vials that held 500 doses of the Moderna vaccine from refrigeration overnight on Dec. 24 and left them out for two nights. The doses were returned and then removed again.
Hundreds of doses were discarded as a result. Moderna said there were no health risks associated with spoiled doses, clinical leaders during a virtual news conference Thursday.
A pharmacy technician discovered the vials outside a fridge on Saturday and reported the incident, said Dr. Jeff Bahr, president of the Aurora Health Care Medical Group.
Hospital officials initially determined the incident was the result of human error, saying the employee removed the vaccines to reach for something else in the refrigerator. But the employee eventually admitted to knowingly removing the vials from cold storage, aware that they would be ineffective if used. "
The rest of the story:
"A Wisconsin pharmacist convinced the world was "crashing down" told police he tried to ruin hundreds of doses of coronavirus vaccine because he believed the shots would mutate people's DNA, according to court documents released Monday.
Police in Grafton, about 20 miles north of Milwaukee, arrested Advocate Aurora Health pharmacist Steven Brandenburg last week following an investigation into the 57 spoiled vials of the Moderna vaccine, which officials say contained enough doses to inoculate more than 500 people. Charges are pending.
"He'd formed this belief they were unsafe," Ozaukee County District Attorney Adam Gerol said during a virtual hearing. He added that Brandenburg was upset because he was in the midst of divorcing his wife, and an Aurora employee said Brandenburg had taken a gun to work twice.
A detective wrote in a probable cause statement that Brandenburg, 46, is an admitted conspiracy theorist and that he told investigators he intentionally tried to ruin the vaccine because it could hurt people by changing their DNA.
Misinformation around the Covid-19 vaccines has surged online with false claims circulating on everything from the vaccines' ingredients to its possible side effects.
One of the earliest false claims suggested that the vaccines could alter DNA. The Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine as well as the Moderna vaccine rely on messenger RNA or mRNA, which is a fairly new technology used in vaccines that experts have been working on for years. MRNA vaccines help train the immune system to identify the spike protein on the surface of the coronavirus and create an immune response. Experts have said there is no truth to the claims that the vaccines can genetically modify humans
According to an affidavit his wife filed on Dec. 30, the same day Brandenburg was arrested in the vaccine tampering, he stopped off at her house on Dec. 6 and dropped off a water purifier and two 30-day supplies of food, telling her that the world was "crashing down" and she was in denial. He said the government was planning cyberattacks and was going to shut down the power grid.."

Sadly, I've seen worse beliefs than that posted here at CT and on other cattle boards regarding conspiracies ...
Maybe he was distant blood cousin to the Nashville bomber
