Steven Brandenburg told a federal judge on Tuesday that he was 'desperately sorry and ashamed' about what he did.

Back in January, Steven Brandenburg agreed to plead guilty to two counts of attempting to tamper with consumer products with reckless disregard.

Theoretically, he could have faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each count. But under federal sentencing guidelines, Brandenburg was looking at up to 51 months behind bars. After completing his 36-month sentence, Brandenburg will face another three years of supervised release. Brandenburg was fired from the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin, in December after the hospital said he admitted he"intentionally removed the vaccine from refrigeration.

Brandenburg then returned the vaccines to the refrigerator after knowing that they had been left out, leading to 57 people being injected with the potentially spoiled inoculations, according to the Department of Justice.who"told investigators that he believed that Covid-19 vaccine was not safe for people and could harm them and change their DNA."This is a developing story, please refresh here for updates.

Why did your newswriter choose to put intentionally in quotes?

Excellent

Its curious how they came to 3yrs. He intentionally destroyed the dosages believing the vaccine was poisonous, changed DNA. He was under great emotional life stressors at the time, maybe emotional break. But the 3yrs and then probation w/fine seems odd amount.

He should have received the maximum term for attempted mass murder because that is what his actions amount to.

Must be a Republican

👏👏👏 500 lives he could have saved. Such a shame!

The number of Chinese that contracted Covid is minuscule on per capita basis than 98% of rest of the world. The odds lean heavily to the scenario that China was well prepared for a deliberate spreading of this virus. They shut down China and promoted Worldwide travel from Wuhan!

And, yet, Trump, who intentionally downplayed the virus (among other things), remains free.

What does Fauci get ....... a shame on you .... keep living your life....... what’s good for some is not good for others is the lesson we are teaching our kids

Should have been longer! How many people had to go without a vaccine?

That's excessive! I bet he'll get out of jail as a hardened criminal and do much more heinous crimes.

Only 3 years? That's white privilege... How much is 500 doses worth?

Seems pretty steep.

Nice! Actual accountability. What would be the recommended sentence for elected officials who denied the pandemic and harmed Americans?

I hope he won’t ever be distributing medicine ever again as well?

wow that's more than what you get for killing an unarmed black person ....

Elon Musk cancels the 500-mile range version of Tesla's Model SElon Musk is pulling the plug on his promised Tesla Model S Plaid+ super car about a year before it was expected to go on sale. Sigh. CNN lies and distorts so effortlessly. Tesla canceled the Plaid+ version because Plaid is basically the same, and costs much less. Leave it to CNN (and their intrepid, clueless viewers/followers) to be completely uninformed
