On Aug. 8, the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Georgia was violently attacked after a shooter fired hundreds of rounds toward the building, leading to the death of police officer David Rose. Now, current and former staffers have written to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., asking him to stop spreading inaccurate information about health.
The shooter reportedly targeted the CDC headquarters because of his misgivings about the COVID-19 vaccine. RFK Jr. has previously shared his doubts and mistrust about vaccines, including the measles vaccine. Furthermore, he has gone on a termination spree at the CDC and publicly referred to the government agency as a “cesspool of corruption.”
