ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (WJZ) — Jeffrey Burnham, the Cumberland man charged with killing his brother, sister-in-law and an elderly family friend, allegedly wanted to confront his brother Brian Robinette, a pharmacist, because he believed the government is “poisoning people with COVID vaccines,” according to charging documents filed Wednesday in the District Court of Maryland for Howard County.
The Blood of these murder victims is on the hands of elected Republicans and Tucker Carlson. They sow fear and lies. This man believed them and killed 3 people, including his own brother. This is the America Republicans want. GOP inspires killers. #ncpol https://t.co/V7AtqrUV1u

“Brian knows something!” he told his mother, according to charging documents.
Burnham, 46, is currently being held in the the Allegany County Detention Center. He’s charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 83-year-old Rebecca Reynolds, who was found dead Sept. 29 in a Cumberland home. At the time Reynolds’ body was discovered, her vehicle was missing.
Howard County authorities on Wednesday charged Burnham with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and one handgun charge in the death of his brother and Brian’s wife Kelly.
According to charging documents, Burnham’s mother Evelyn called the Cumberland Police Department on Sept. 29 because her son was making statements about the FBI coming after them and she was concerned “regarding his mental health and stability.”

As part of the investigation into Reynolds’ death, Cumberland police contacted Howard County authorities on Sept. 30 with a search warrant for a residence at 5368 Kerger Road in Ellicott City.
An anti-vaxxer murdered his pharmacist brother and two others for giving COVID vaccines, saying that the government was poisoning people and his brother "knows something." The world brought to us by Fox and the @GOP. https://t.co/gJwRkis89K

A tipster contacted Maryland State Police and said Burnham appeared at their house in a red Corvette around 4:45 p.m. on Sept. 30 asking for gas money. Burnham told the person they would see him on TV and said his brother was “killing people with the COVID shot.”

I’m gonna write a song titled “Propaganda.” So much bullsh!t out there, it is impossible to discern the truth…but wasn’t that the point?
The “added” ingredient of “false righteous anger” has been carefully and deliberately infused into political rhetoric through talking points and echo chamber phrasing. At this point, it is fully weaponized and can be pointed in any direction.
They could muster a call to arms, and cause vagary, over the ingredients in a snickers bar.
The call to “question everything” was correct, but it has been applied to the banal. Flat earth, revealed a doorway and they stormed through it.
Don’t discount the religious aspect of all this, David. 50 million of these folks are “true believers” in that they have been hoodwinked by their charlatan pastors into thinking that the Earth was created exactly 6025 years ago and that the Sun is its planet. If they are told that the cure for COVID-19 is Jesus and that the vaccine is poison, they’re never going to be talked out of it, no matter what facts or evidence they’re presented with.
