US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez vowed to rebuild trust with the American public after the agency was the target of a deadly shooting last week, but some staff were frustrated that she didn’t offer more information on safety.
The gunman who shot nearly 200 rounds into four buildings and two security guard stands on the CDC campus Aug. 8 outlined his frustration with Covid vaccines before the rampage, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The attack occurred as medical misinformation is rampant in the US, fueling everything from political positioning to consumer purchases — and increasingly violent attacks.
