Despicable. That's all. I confess I did not read that article as I am not subscribed to that site.  But this whole thing stinks.

...In late April, a former Red Cross employee who worked at the Roffhausen Vaccination Center in Friesland, a district in Germany's northern state of Lower Saxony, told a colleague that she filled six syringes with saline instead of the Pfizer vaccine, according to police reports. The nurse said she dropped a vial containing the vaccine while preparing syringes and tried to cover it up.

The nurse was immediately fired, and local authorities conducted antibody tests on more than 100 people who visited the vaccination center on April 21. Since it was impossible to trace who received the saline shots from the six syringes, everyone who visited the center that day was also invited to receive a follow-up shot.

During a police investigation, however, authorities found additional indications that more people were affected. The case now involves 8,557 vaccinations given between March 5 and April 20 at specific time...

I read about this.  I hope that they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  If one of those 8500 die before getting an actual vaccine I wonder if this would be consider murder under German law.
