A gunman who believed the Covid-19 vaccine had made him ill fired at the agency’s Atlanta offices, killing a police officer and rattling the public health community.
Employees expressed horror at a shooting at the agency’s headquarters, and some said they viewed it as part of a pattern of threats and assaults on health workers.
The shooting in Atlanta, which killed a police officer, followed the spread of false information around Covid vaccines and animosity directed at the agency, public health workers say.
The gunman fired at the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because he blamed the Covid vaccine for his maladies, an official said.
