In tearful testimony before the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, a pediatric nurse rebuked the supervisor whose vaccine mandate led to her dismissal, preventing her from caring for children whom she charged were contracting myocarditis from the shots amid a cover-up.

"I'm a nurse – at least I was – at Rady Children's in the cardiovascular intensive care unit," said Tammy Buettner at the Sept. 13 meeting, "until Nathan and his misinformation pandemic caused me to lose my job."

Her reference was to Nathan Fletcher, whose failed policies, she said, caused the loss of a career she loved.

Buettner said she cared for children suffering from myocarditis "after the vaccine."
