CDC Union vaccines condemns misinformation and tight security
The American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2883, stated that the CDC and leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services should provide “a clear and uneven trend in condemning the disintegration of the vaccine”.
Such a public statement by federal authorities is required to help prevent violence against scientists, the Sangh said in a news release.
The Sangh said, “Their leadership is important in strengthening public belief and ensuring that accurate, science-based information is strong.”
A group of CDC employees have said that fighting but fighting has said that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior “is directly responsible for the villain of the CDC workforce through his constant lies about science and vaccine safety, who have promoted an atmosphere of enmity and mistrust.”
Kennedy reached the employees on Saturday, saying that “no one should face violence while working to protect the health of others.”
Thousands of people working on important disease research are working in the campus. The Sangh said some employees were kept in various buildings till late night, including more than 90 young children who were locked inside the CDC’s Clifton School.
The Sangh said that the CDC staff should not need to return to work immediately after experiencing such a painful event. In a statement released on Saturday, it was stated that windows and buildings should be fixed first and made “completely safe”.
“Employees should not need to work next to the bullet hole,” the Sangh said. “Forcing a comeback in these circumstances, the employees were exposed to the reminder of frightening shooting, taking the risk of re -shocking.”
The Sangh called for “periphery security on all premises” until the investigation is completely completed and shared with the employees.
The shooter had a fixation on the Kovid -19 vaccine
White’s father, who contacted the police and recognized his son as a potential shooter, said that White was upset with his dog’s death and according to the law enforcement officer, Kovid -19 was also cured on the vaccine.
A neighbor of White told the Atlanta Journal -Constitution that the White “looked like a good man” but talked to him several times about his mistrust of Kovid -19 vaccine in unrelated conversations.
Nancy Holst told the Atlanta newspaper, “He was very unstable, and he believed deeply that the vaccines were hurting him and hurting others.” “He believed that he used to loudly.”
But Holest said that she never believed that white would be violent: “I did not know that he felt that he would take it to CDC.”
