CDC Shooting: Anger at Trump, Kennedy's Response | JQJO

A week after a gunman, motivated by anti-vaccine sentiments, killed two people at the CDC in Atlanta, employees express frustration at the perceived lack of strong condemnation from President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The shooter, Patrick White, harbored long-held grievances against the COVID-19 vaccine. CDC employees feel unsafe returning to work until federal leaders publicly denounce the attack and support public health workers. While Kennedy has offered condolences and condemned the violence, some staff feel his response was insufficient, citing his past vaccine skepticism. The White House has stated that the safety of government employees is a top priority.
