A Queens COVID-19 site systematically diluted vials of the life-saving Pfizer vaccine in order to dole out more doses, according to a new lawsuit filed by an employee claiming he was pushed out of the company after he started asking questions.
Jamie Zheng says Centers Urgent Care, the operator of the vaccine distribution site at Korean Community Services in Bayside, fired him after he learned of a policy to dilute the doses beyond the CDC’s recommendation.
“It makes me feel guilty,” said Zheng, 33, who ran the site from March to July of last year.
“Just thinking about the people waiting on line, mostly the Asian community. They were so excited. They want to get protected but in reality they’re getting a compromised dose.”
The CDC tells providers to mix a vial of Pfizer’s vaccine with 1.8 mL of a saline-based solution for adults. The lawsuit alleges Centers Urgent Care instructed distributors to mix with 1.9 mL, which allowed the company to squeeze seven shots out of each vial as opposed to six, the lawsuit claims.
Future deliveries of the vaccine from Pfizer were based on how many people the company had vaccinated in prior weeks, said Zheng, who sued in Queens Supreme Court .
Private providers who administer the shots are reimbursed for vaccinating individuals through insurance companies or Medicare.
Zheng is the second employee of Centers Urgent Care to sue over the alleged practice. Andrew Palazzo says in his suit filed last year that he was fired from his job administering the vaccines after raising similar objections as Zheng. He alleged 16,000 doses could have been diluted.
A court denied Palazzo’s bid last year for an order blocking the site from administering vaccines. Palazzo’s suit is ongoing and Centers Urgent Care has denied wrongdoing.

Those people are very lucky to get a diluted dose, since the vax is essentially useless as protection, but a watered-down dose might save you a lot of damage.
But I thought that the Daily News was fake news? Is it real news now?
Can't say I'm surprised
I wonder if this is Dr. NPC_doofuses place of practice?
"The clinical difference between 1.8 [ml.] and 1.9 is nonexistent," CEO Scott Orlansky allegedly said in a May 21, 2021, conversation cited in the suit. "You are making a bigger deal out of this, and we can't have that."
I think we all want to know: Is Mr. Orlansky a registered demOrat or a registered ReTrumplican? Who can check the voter registration records?
I thought that was a Synagogue ?
I hope they don't open another Adult Day Care Medicare scam.
@Is it real news now?
Ignore the first 3 google results when doing reseach !
Ivermectin cured my friends Covid.
Seems Shadow Banning is yet another “right-wing conspiracy theory” that was 100% true.

This must be based on your high level research in virology and endless string of science degrees.
@"Is it real news now ?" What's your agenda biased troll ?
Free speech is free thought. Censorship is the same level of morality as mind control and book burning. This is what “participation” trophies got us, liberal lunatics.

You must be barking nonsense based on Pfizer corruption ignoring the Pfizer 1291 side effects document, Pfizer who's CEO is a vet. Why not? For animals like you "science" is a buzzword, you have no idea what you talking about anyway, CNN is your science instructor.
Maybe you need Fauci to explain something about science, but he cannot since his is a doctor with a diploma, but corrupt and dumb to the core.
Is anyone else tired of hearing "misinformation and disinformation" ? How about good old facts and honesty....seems to be a lost art for the Dems and the sheeple who keep them in office.
"This must be based on your high level research in virology and endless string of science degrees."
Nope. It's just the facts which are easy to find. But not until you get your head out of your ass.

Dying from Covid-19 doesn't scare me nearly as much as voting Democrat when I'm dead.
@"@"Is it real news now ?" What's your agenda biased troll ?"
The only troll around here is you. Right wing nuts and Trumpanzees like you continually whine about fake news until whatever is in the new suits your agenda, no matter what the source.
Luckily for @NPC_doofus, most rebuttals of his nonsense and lies are blocked by the moderator.
Is she/he/it a protected species ?

TA commie, go pound sand and suck on some Bidet Turd. You are dumb as a rock.
Go for gender reassignment ASAP.

I'll bet many of the 1 million dead would like to have a second chance and come back to get the vaccine. I'll bet their families would like it too.
Your postings are uneducated political mucus.

Every Libturd says Trump lied but never states the lies. Could you enlighten me what he lied about?

So here is something from your own source, a-hole. Read it slowly and carefully and then tell me where it says vaccines are ineffective, When you quote a source, try reading it first. If you want a translation, please ask nicely.
The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection remained almost zero among previously infected unvaccinated subjects, previously infected subjects who were vaccinated, and previously uninfected subjects who were vaccinated, compared with a steady increase in cumulative incidence among previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated

I'm guessing this sets precedent with the "my body my choice" argument. Some folks might be stoked on the decision but haven't considered the same argument could be used in context of mandating vaccines.
