No, but he was by the time the story hit the news wires.

Over the years, I worked with pharmacists who did not know that:

Lesbians menstruate  
Women do not usually produce breast milk until after they have given birth  
Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe in blood transfusions

and I will probably come up with a few others.

Maybe he got his degree from a for-profit and contract-cheated his way through.

I wasn’t aware that Trump University had a pharmacy school.

He sounds like he’s having a QAnon-induced psychotic break.

I hope he gets the help he needs. Preferably in a very secure facility.

He’s far from the only person linking vaccines to “transhumanism”. Among groups with a superficial patina of respectability flogging this idea is the Organic Consumers Association, best known for anti-GMO activism, but which has long pushed antivax ideas and currently warns of a future world enslaved by transhumanism and technocracy.

It’s kind of odd, but I’m a little…relieved, I guess? Sure, he’s an unhinged nutball, but he _thought_ he was doing the right thing, and trying to save people.  
Yah, I know it’s not much - but better than him just being an asshole causing trouble for jollies.

He went to university and got his license. As long as a pharmacist understands what drugs do, their side effects, and how they interact with other drugs, they’re probably going to do just fine no matter what other nutty ideas they may have.

Given the WI nutbag’s clearly evident complete misunderstanding of the side effects of the COVID vaccine, I think we can safely conclude he was not “doing just fine” in his work.

That Giuliani ends out his career as a literal kid’s cartoon villain is such poetic justice.

Funny how much the wolf criminal at about 50 seconds looks like Trump; IOW like a second rate mobster.
