1) So the pharmacist who destroyed 500 doses of the covid vaccine is a conspiracy theorist who...wait for it...was radicalized online by rightwing disinformation. You can't tell from this frustrating article, but you search a bit and you find the source. https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-pharmacist-steven-brandenburg-ac00faee3cf10a9558665d472123b96c
2) BBC traces the theory that inspired the man to destroy 500 doses, that the vaccine alters your DNA, to video from osteopath named Carrie Madej. Still no mention of anything else about her aside from the video. https://www.bbc.com/news/53525002
3) Fine, I'll google her directly. A few seconds on her Twitter and...yeah, she's RT'ing QAnon freak Lin Wood & claims to be speaking at the coup rally on Jan. 6, the day that most GOP House members & at least 13 GOP senators will try to set fire to our democracy.
4) Rightwing disinformation is deadly, and it spreads like wildfire on social media.
OMFG she's speaking alongside the founder of the Oath Keepers militia and the recently pardoned George Papadopoulos... https://magafreedomrallydc.com/maga/
Here is another mainstream news article that fails to even speculate about where the theory came from, much less that it was rightwing disinformation that spread like wildfire on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/04/us/pharmacist-accused-of-tampering-with-vaccine-was-conspiracy-theorist-police-say.html?referringSource=articleShare
