A Georgia man who opened fire on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters, shooting dozens of rounds into the sprawling complex and killing a police officer, had blamed the Covid-19 vaccine for making him depressed and suicidal,

A union representing CDC workers said the shooting "compounds months of mistreatment" of staff as a result of vaccine misinformation.
