On December 26, 2020, at the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin, 570 doses of Moderna's new coronavirus vaccine were found unattended. The new coronavirus vaccine developed by Moderna can be stored at the same temperature of 2 to 8 degrees as in a standard refrigerator, but it is said that it will denature and lose its efficacy when it reaches a higher temperature. ..

Grafton police, who were investigating the matter, said on December 31 that the new coronavirus vaccine had been deliberately degraded by Steven Brandenberg, a 46-year-old pharmacist who was working at the Aurora Medical Center at the time. Was arrested. According to police, Brandenberg took out 57 containers containing 10 doses of the new coronavirus vaccine from the refrigerator on December 24th and 25th and left them unattended.

At a press conference on December 31, Jeff Barr, director of the Aurora Medical Center, said, 'As of the 26th, it was thought that the vaccine had not been left for more than 12 hours at room temperature, so 57 out of 570 doses. However, as the facts became clear, the vaccine was found to be less effective or ineffective, so we decided not to use the rest. ' 57 people who have been vaccinated with the ineffective vaccine have already been contacted.

The price of the damaged vaccine is expected to reach $ 11,000, but CBS19News, an American news broadcaster who reported this, said, 'The current state of the pandemic and the amount of vaccine supply are limited. Given the situation, vaccines are considered valuable, 'he said, pointing out that the loss of the new coronavirus vaccine is more serious than the damage.

In addition, Grafton police, who were investigating Brandenberg, said on January 4, 2021, 'The suspect has been identified as a conspiracy theorist who thinks that'vaccines are dangerous to rewrite DNA'.' Announced. In response to the Grafton police investigation, Brandenberg has made a statement admitting that he believes in the crime and conspiracy theory. It should be noted that the experts 'Moderna and Pfizer of RNA vaccine is included in the mRNA and the order is not in the DNA, there is no risk at all to change the human gene,' he says .



According to the New York Times, Brandenberg is in dispute with his wife, Gretchen Brandenberg, who is applying for divorce, over custody of his two daughters. Gretchen's lawyer, Brian Hero, said at a hearing in July 2020, 'In my understanding, Stephen Brandenberg is devoted to conspiracy theory. He is about the new coronavirus infection. I have my own theory and believe that the end of the world will come. '

Brandenberg is currently charged with three felony charges: 'first-class recklessly endangering safety,' 'misuse of prescription drugs,' and 'criminal infringement of property.' However, if the investigation proves that the new coronavirus vaccine left by Brandenberg has not lost its effectiveness, it could be changed to only one misdemeanor. That's why Grafton police say they plan to work with the FBI and drug regulators to investigate.
