Suspicion grew when patients asked for Christina Benz by name, then entered a closed room, which prosecutors said was \u0027clearly an anti\u002Dvaccination stance\u0027
She had previously vaccinated up to 25 people that previous weekend, all of whom had specifically requested her, a police prosecutor told the Perth Magistrates Court.
When a father attended the clinic with his 15-year-old child, a doctor insisted on being present to observe the injection. Benz allegedly tried to obscure his view of the injection and then disposed of the needle with the vaccine dose still inside.The doctor immediately fired Benz and called the police, the prosecutor said.
Benz was arrested at her home on Sunday and held in custody overnight. Police officials have strongly opposed bail over concerns that she may contact witnesses and former patients so they can come up with alibis before the police contacted them, the Sydney Herald reported. Benz however was granted strict bail on the condition that she was not to administer any more COVID vaccinations, practice as a registered nurse, contact any patients or colleagues or use social media to communicate with anyone.
