Man Arrested After Allegedly Injecting People With Fake COVID-19 Vaccine
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING A Washington man was arrested last week on federal charges after allegedly selling injections of a self-made and untested COVID-19 “vaccine” to customers online. Stine told potential customers on Facebook that he developed a vaccine for the virus in “half a day” and that he did not want to wait months to obtain proper approval for it due to regulatory testing, according to a lawsuit filed against Stine by Washington’s attorney general in June. Stine, shortly after the lawsuit was filed in June, agreed to repay around 30 of his victims and was permanently barred from marketing vaccines without testing and evidence, according to the Washington attorney general’s office. Special Agent in Charge Robert Hammer denounced Stine’s actions as “not only despicable, but potentially deadly behavior.” “Equally appalling is the exploitation of vulnerable cancer patients and their families, desperate for treatment,” said Hammer, who oversees Homeland Security Investigations operations in the Pacific Northwest.
