Lin, who said he "applied energy" to the vaccines using the machine, indicated that he obtained cat saliva by sticking a cotton swab in a cat's mouth, and then mixing it with a small amount of vodka and water, the complaint said. The machine was "located in a cluttered office without visible sterile and/or clean field," according to the complaint. Nearby, there was a box filled with vials or tubes. After flipping three switches on a vial in the machine, Lin told the investigator it was ready to be given to a patient orally, the complaint said.
