A federal judge has sentenced a Wisconsin pharmacist to three years in prison after he pleaded guilty to charges that he tampered with COVID-19 vaccines.

Steven Brandenburg, who was a pharmacist based in Grafton, signed a guilty plea on Feb. 9 admitting that he had removed hundreds of doses of Moderna’s CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine from refrigerators at the Aurora Medical Center in December 2020. According to a Department of Justice statement, he removed the vaccines with the intent to destroy them.
