Man killed pharmacist brother over COVID vaccine shots he thought government was using to poison people, court documents say

A Maryland man charged in the deaths of his brother, sister-in-law and another woman may have killed his brother, a pharmacist, because the brother was administering COVID-19 vaccines, charging documents show, according to CBS Washington, D.C. affiliate WUSA-TV.

Jeffrey Burnham, 46, of Cumberland, "wanted to confront" his brother "with the government poisoning people with COVID vaccines," one document reads, adding, "He repeatedly stated, 'Brian knows something!'"

Burnham's mother told detectives he planned to confront his brother, 58-year-old Brian Robinette, Howard County court documents specify.
