The union representing CDC workers says they want the federal government to do more to fight misinformation surrounding vaccines. They say staffers have endured months of “mistreatment, neglect, and vilification” and worry about scientists’ safety. This comes after a gunman blamed the COVID-19 vaccination for making him depressed and suicidal.
Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum says he went to CDC headquarters on Friday and started shooting. A DeKalb county police officer lost his life and the shooter was later found dead at the scene.
