A Wisconsin pharmacist who aimed to ruin 500 doses of COVID vaccine last December has been sentenced to 3 years in prison, the Department of Justice announced.
Steven Brandenburg, who purposely removed the Moderna doses from refrigeration during two shifts, will have 3 years of supervised release after that, and will have to pay about $84,000 in restitution to his former employer Aurora Medical Center, DOJ said.
On Dec. 24 and Dec. 25, 2020, Brandenburg removed vaccines from a hospital fridge for 3 hours and 9 hours, respectively, according to court documents cited by the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He then returned them to the fridge to be used in the hospital vaccine clinic the next day.
The early childhood years, particularly ages 0-3, are the building blocks of life. In 2018, the World Health Organisation, UNICEF, the World Bank and the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health came up with a framework that highlights the importance of nurturing care for the overall development of a child. Research has shown that adversity faced during early childhood can have a life-long impact. Ogechi Ekeanyanwu of The Conversation Africa asked Robert Hughes, a public health researcher and lecturer on early childhood development, to talk about the effect of toxic stress on children and what proper care looks like.

Few of the works in Breaking the Mould would win prizes for beauty, at least in its traditional sense. The exhibition, which examines sculpture made by women since 1945, has a raspy lawlessness about it, especially in its range of materials. I hesitate to use the phrase “everything but the kitchen sink” because of its domestic connotations – and one of the objects is, in fact, a sink – but given the presence here of butter, fluff, salt, wicker, tights, flowers and even rawhide dog chew, it would be simpler to list the substances these artists haven’t used.
