COVID Vaccines[edit]
Shortly after being elected to the Minnesota Senate in January 2023, Wesenberg spoke at an anti-COVID vaccine rally held at the state capitol. Wesenberg suggested that Gov. Tim Walz should be jailed for his response to the pandemic and he described COVID-19 vaccines as a “death shot”. Wesenberg also told the audience that his wife recently left her job as a doctor because her employer disapproved of her writing exemptions for masks and vaccines. [6]
