MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A woman who gave what she said were flu shots to more than two dozen people, then fled when asked for information about her credentials, was arrested Friday, police said.
State health officials said they didn't know what was in the shots given to at least 28 people, but no one had reported any ill effects as of Friday. The shots were given on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at Augsburg College in Minneapolis.
***************
According to the perp herself, she was selling genuine flu vaccines to raise money for an American Heart Association drive at her daughter's elementary school.
This also happened in Washington a few days ago, in which case the vaccines were found to be legitimate and no charges were filed. The same thing is going to happen here, and if people around here were just a little smarter than they are, they would kick themselves for being so fucking paranoid, and this wouldn't be anywhere close to a nationally newsworthy story. But they're not. So whatever.
