FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Two US pharmacists have been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and other crimes over a meningitis outbreak that killed 64 people in 2012, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
According to the federal indictment, pharmacists Barry J. Cadden, 48, and Glenn A. Chinn, 46, from the New England Compounding Center (NECC) in Framingham, Massachusetts have been charged with 25 murders in seven states.
At least 12 other NECC employees have also been arrested and charged with various crimes in connection with the deadly outbreak. The owners of the pharmacy were among those arrested.
The 2012 meningitis outbreak was traced to tainted drug injections manufactured by the now-closed NECC.
American health officials have said it was the deadliest meningitis outbreak in US history. More than 750 people in 20 states fell ill and 64 of them died after getting steroid injections.
“Production and profit were prioritized over safety,” US Attorney Carmen Ortiz said at a Boston news conference announcing a 131-count indictment. The outbreak was “an unprecedented national tragedy,” she said.
Overall, the charges include second-degree murder, racketeering, conspiracy, contempt and mail fraud.
Prosecutors said officials at NECC deliberately shipped contaminated steroids across the US. The drugs were typically injected in people suffering from back pain.
“Actions like the ones alleged in this case display not only a reckless disregard for health and safety regulations but also an extreme and appalling indifference to human life,” US Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement.
“American consumers have a right to know that their medications are safe to use, and this case proves that the Department of Justice will always stand resolute to ensure that right, to protect the American people and to hold wrongdoers accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
