      It’s a huge breach of trust, and may have potentially caused injury, but “injecting with salt water” is a saline injection, and that’s a normal medical thing. Also, she lost her medical license, so the headline is a bit of an exaggeration.

      The law isn’t really prepared to deal with weird cases like this, criminal trials typically are based around actual harm. If she injected saline instead of a vaccine, but nobody she injected saline is known to have been hospitalized due to her actions, then she’s likely not going to get an extremely harsh penalty from a criminal trial.

      That and criminal trials are based around an extremely high bar to prove guilt, so there’s only “proof” of injecting saline into six people. Those six people seemed like they weren’t significantly harmed by her actions.

      Sucks that she got off so light, but the alternative justice system could be so much worse.

        Maybe I’m just too much into the what if but what if my immune system is weak and the vaccine would help me not die from covid if I ever got it. Great now I have salt water in me and got covid and I’m dying cause I’m weak. You don’t fuck with people’s food, you don’t fuck with their medicine, you don’t fuck with their livelyhood.

          You can’t put someone in jail for what ifs. That’s now how justice works.

          All of those things are why she lost her job and her license, but not a reason to go to jail.

          If those things happened, then sure, reckless homicide. But they have to actually prove real harm to put someone in prison. That’s a good thing.

            You definitely can.

            There are driving speed limit because it is potentially dangerous. So you get the punishment even if you don’t have any accident. same with driving under the influence, stop signs etc

            Try to commit fraud, murder and any number of actual crimes and it’s the same thing.

              That’s what I was thinking yea. Planning to rob a bank and buying a mask is enough to be tried. She actively planned AND went through the act of endangering someone’s health for her own political beliefs.

            I think I could see it construed in the same light as attempted murder.

        “injecting with salt water”

        was it saline from a bag or just… her magic mix?

        Honestly either way is a terrible violation of trust, ethics and professionalism and she deserves prison time for the people she endangered.

      I hope there are six civil suits. I know I’d sue her if I found out she did that to me.
