COVID Vaccines[edit]
Shortly after being elected to the Minnesota Senate in January 2020, Wesenberg spoke at an anti COVID vaccine rally at the state Capitol. Wesenberg suggested that Governor Tim Walz should be jailed for his response to the pandemic and he described COVID-19 vaccines a “death shot”. Wesenberg told the audience that his wife recently left a job as a doctor because her employer didn't like that she was writing exemptions for masks and vaccines. [6]
