St. Paul 'sovereign citizen' records himself stealing vaccines from workers

A 32-year-old St. Paul man has posted multiple Facebook videos of himself stealing Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines by pretending he wants to get vaccinated and walking out with the vials.

Thomas E. Humphrey said on the videos he’s a member of the sovereign citizen movement, which is an anti-government extremist group that believes they are sovereign from the U.S. He also said on a video that he lost his business and home last year due to pandemic restrictions, and now lives in a van with his dog. He says on another video he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but disagreed with the diagnosis.

Humphrey posted videos of himself walking into an Allina Health vaccination site in Oakdale and leaving with a vial of Pfizer vaccine, calling it poison. The following day, he posted a video of himself taking a vial of Johnson & Johnson vaccine from a CVS worker, again telling customers it’s poison.

The videos, which have racked up thousands of views and comments, underscore the struggle of elected officials and public health experts who are trying to encourage Minnesotans to get vaccinated, just days after Gov. Tim Walz said a 70% vaccination rate would lead to further easing of pandemic restrictions.

charged with stealing. If he stole the vials, then he's clearly shown himself doing so, and thus, has pretty well convicted himself.

At a minimum, he needs to be charged w/ endangering the public good in stealing the vaccine(s), not just one shot but a whole vial's worth, enough for 5-6 shots. The companies making the vaccines need to step up and start going aggressively against these people who are moaning about the benefits of vaccines.

I did notice that the guy didn't have a medical license so all of a sudden, his word that the vaccine(s) are poison are to be believed (yeah, right, sarcasm here).

Liar also states that he lost his business and home due to the epidemic...offers no proof, no stories, nothing but claims this. Yeah, sure. If he did, more than likely it was all him overspending, doing idiot things that he obviously is doing, etc. or that he is running a sham business that really isn't a business, that's getting him into trouble (all him) and no one else to blame but himself. If anything, he needs to get a dose of real world reality.
