Germans are known internationally for being severe, no-nonsense, no-compromise getter-doners, especially in administration of the law.
So I gotta say this verdict kinda takes the wind out of that sail a little bit:
An anti-vaxxer nurse who injected up to 8,600 elderly people with saline solution instead of a Covid-19 vaccine has walked free from court.
Red Cross nurse Antje T, 39, jabbed thousands of elderly patients at a vaccine centre in Germany with what she told them was the BioNTech Pfizer vaccine but was just a saltwater solution.
The nurse, who administered the fake vaccines at the Schortens jab centre in Friesland, northwest Germany, was given just six months on probation.
Yeah that seems a bit lax. You have to imagine Frau Antje herself was probably a bit confused.
I mean, look, I'm not saying I'm a big vax cheerleader. I'm not. But this seems like a pretty clear-cut case of medical fraud. And the perp's excuse was just unbelievably weak:
When questioned by police, she admitted to using saline solution but had said she only did it because she had accidentally broken a vial containing six shots and was ashamed to tell her colleagues.
