So pretty clear then.

I’m sure German prison is nice enough.

As I understand it, that would be 8,000 counts of criminal negligence, and liability for who knows how many cases of manslaughter.

Was it malice or incompetence? I don’t know. Probably both?
Doesn’t change how I feel about her though:

The most appalling thing about this article is that at no point does it say “former Red Cross nurse,” like it immediately and with prejudice absolutely should.

How does one become a qualified nurse without demonstrating a basic understanding of how the human immune system works? Is there no science behind learning to become a nurse?

Some MD’s manage it, some people have convictions that education and ethics can’t sway.

Oh, it’s not just nurses.
I give you Rand Paul, MD. Actual doctor. And actual genocidal numbskull when it comes to spreading Covid misinformation.
Unfortunately, medical training does not make people completely immune to non-scientific thinking. Rational thinking is a late addition to the human brain and is easily undermined by our intuition.

There’s a reason why I switched my doctor recently, sadly. Shame, otherwise he was fairly competent.

Or one of the various degrees of murder, assuming one of the unwitting recipients died of exposure to COVID. Reminds me of the hypothetical of randomly firing a gun into a crowd. She might not have intended to kill any one person in particular, but in the US at least, the law would not necessarily care about that part.

Somewhat related:
My wife’s good friend from university is (was?) a successful ER doctor, but she started believing in EMF waves being dangerous a number of years ago. So, she moved her family to northern Ontario, shunned cell-phones and wifi. I mean, she still works in a rural, underserved hospital, but I do wonder if her craziness is affecting her patient care. (We’ve lost touch, so I’m not really sure.)

Incompetence would be if she mixed up a saline bottle with the vaccine bottle because she wasn’t looking at what she was injecting. That doesn’t accidentally happen continuously over two months and thousands of injections.
*Asterisk required. Rand Paul famously was accredited by a licensing board that he invented and which was run by himself, his wife and father-in-law.

he got his medical degree in opthalmology degree from duke. the problem with his accreditation is probably… he lied about getting a bachelor’s degree.
how do you get into medical school without a four year degree that’s what i want to know.
the fact he has variously claimed degrees in english and biology only highlights how happy he is to lie whenever it suits his purpose

A very good point. Unfortunately that only applies to whether or not he’s board certified for ophthalmology. He still is an actual MD, though I think there’s more than enough reason for medical boards to rescind his license to practice.

Anyway, back to the nurse…

Urgh. I never want to hear any of the covidiots say ever again that it’s only about personal responsibility and not being forced to be vaccinated!

I’m normally against lethal injection; but in this case I’d be tempted to make an exception.

He was a legacy admission; my guess is that he passed the MCAT and paid cash for his education. The admissions board wouldn’t be looking too hard, especially if Ronny boy made 4 - 6 figure donations after graduation.
