> the former employee deliberately removed the vials from refrigeration on two separate occasions — on Dec. 24 overnight, then returning them to proper storage, and then again on Dec. 25 into Saturday morning. > The pharmacist told investigators he knew "that people who received the vaccinations would think they had been vaccinated against the virus when in fact they were not," officials said. oops

>> The pharmacist told investigators he knew ... The way that might've gone down is the investigators asking them if they knew such and such, and the person responding that they did, on thinking that it makes sense, so how could they not know? It doesn't really mean that they thought it through or cared enough when they left them out of the fridge. For all we know, they might have taken them out to reach something in the back and forgot to put them back in. In other words, it's not necessarily out of malice if that's what you meant to imply by quoting that. It would be negligent in that case, though.

  No, I get it. We have two possibilities here… 1) an employee, whose job description includes correct handling of biomedical supplies, twice fucked up, and acknowledged that their consecutive fuck-ups would cause vaccines to become inert and the recipients being none the wiser 2) an employee deliberately sabotaged vaccines … and I get that journalists cannot just come out and say "it really looks like someone sabotaged a batch of vaccines” because libel AND as a person who has made plenty of mistakes, yes, I get that a person can make the same mistake twice. But we're talking about profound negligence here. “You had one job.” It's fine to be skeptical, but let's not pretend that the likelihood of this being an “oopsie” is a coin toss.
