1 police officer dead. Gunman dead, they don't know if the gunman was killed by police or if he killed himself.https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/09/everything-we-know-about-the-fatal-shooting-near-cdc-headquarters-00501308Authorities have identified the man they said opened fire near the CDC headquarters in Atlanta Friday, killing a police officer.The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White, of Kennesaw, Georgia, shot at the agency complex. Law enforcement officials said White died at the scene, where he was found with a gunshot wound. The gunfire struck at least four buildings on the CDC campus, where terrified employees sheltered in place.Media outlets have reported that White believed he was made sick by the Covid-19 vaccine, citing anonymous law enforcement sources.No CDC employees or civilians were injured, authorities said.
“We are actively supporting CDC staff on the ground and across the agency. Public health workers show up every day with purpose — even in moments of grief and uncertainty,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement posted to X Saturday.The slain police officer, David Rose, 33, had two children, and his wife was pregnant with a third. Rose joined the DeKalb County Police Academy in September 2024 and graduated in March, 2025.Before joining the DeKalb County Police Academy, he served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps and was deployed to Afghanistan.Series of eventsWhen officers arrived on the scene Friday evening, they heard gunfire coming from a CVS, across from the CDC’s main entrance. They found White on the second floor of the store with a gunshot wound. He died at the scene. Atlanta Police have said they believe he acted alone.During a press conference Friday, local authorities said it is unclear whether the suspected gunman shot himself or was killed by officials responding to the incident.The suspected gunman fired multiple rounds into at least four CDC buildings, and photos seen by POLITICO show bullet marks shattering the glass of an upper story of one of the buildings.
Two CDC employees told POLITICO Friday evening that all staff at the agency were told to shelter in place.CDC Director Susan Monarez said Friday night that the agency is working with federal, state, and local authorities on the investigation.“We at CDC are heartbroken by today’s attack on our Roybal Campus, which remains on lockdown as authorities investigate the shooting,” Monarez said in a statement. “A courageous local law enforcement officer gave their life, and another was injured, after a gunman opened fire on at least four CDC buildings.Political climateThe shooting comes amid an already tumultuous time for CDC staff. Hundreds of agency employees received termination notices in April, and some got sporadically rehired. The Trump administration also has proposed slashing the agency’s budget by roughly half.Kennedy has repeatedly raised concerns over the safety of the Covid-19 vaccine. Since being sworn in in February, the agency has stopped recommending the vaccine for pregnant people and to narrow the recommendations for healthy children.Kennedy said earlier this week that HHS would halt $500 million in funding for mRNA research, the technology that was used to create the first Covid-19 vaccines, citing safety concerns. The planned cancellation of contracts includes work with Emory University and Tiba Biotech. Proposals from Pfizer, Sanofi Pasteur, CSL Seqirus, Gritstone and others will also be rejected, according to HHS.Many public health experts pushed back on that decision, arguing that the technology is safe and a key tool for responding to future pandemics.One CDC official, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told POLITICO they were disappointed that neither Kennedy or President Donald Trump had publicly spoken about the shooting by early Saturday morning.“As you might imagine, there is a lot of fear and anger among agency staff right now,” the official said.
>>1425511Another person dead because of Trumps lies. Don't worry though, I'm sure we'll get dozens of poorly sourced, contradictory replies of anti-vaccine gibberish from the resident schizo explaining how the rest of the world is wrong and this one case is significant below.
>>1425514>because of Trump's lies>implying Trump was anti-vaxxI love that the average leftist on /news/ is so young that something that happened just 5 years ago is history that you have no personal memory of and only know about it through the biased TDS echochambers you frequent.https://www.newsweek.com/trump-says-he-saved-100-million-lives-covid-vaccines-1774178https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/555247-trump-takes-credit-for-vaccine-rollout-one-of-the-greatest-miracles/https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-renews-praise-covid-vaccines-one-greatest-achievements-mankind-n1286551Democrats and leftists actually refused to take the vaccine at first and said Trump was lying about there being a vaccine:https://i.imgur.com/sN0DOIX.jpeghttps://i.imgur.com/xxiAzpe.jpeg
>>1425511his dna was NOT upgraded, the vaccine exposed him.
>>1425516Go back to twitter and stay there forever
>>1425516No, he is anti-vaxx, just specifically not for the one where he could take credit for, but would lately stop doing so, realizing his base was all against vaccines. I will agree though that his rhetoric was not the only factor that made his supporters so vehemently against vaccines; That fault rests also on podcasters such as Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/17/the-gops-dangerous-debate-on-vaccines-and-autism/Skip to 17:20 to learn how Bret Weinstein pushed Covid misinformation and the consequences https://youtu.be/HGcpUxl_9Vg?si=WCiZp22-SDCmo27m

>>1425529No. You won't accept any source I post. Google it yourself. Everything you said is wrong and no one gives a shit what you say. Trump is president

>>1425523>Skip to 17:20 to learn how Bret Weinstein pushed Covid misinformationHe starts out with "nobody knows whether or not it's a lab leak" - he's a retarded faggot and I had to quit listening after less than a minute.They've already released the evidence proving COVID was intentionally transmitted to humanized mice in the lab to facilitate zoonotic viral transfer. Not to mention the proof that Fauci lied to Congress about funding "attribute aquisition" or "gain of function" research in China which Obama specifically outlawed.Your heroes are all faggots and liars.

>>1425624The link for the 557 page report is at the bottom of that white house page. Go ahead and click the link instead of ignoring the summary.
>>1425627Buddy, if you can go to that white house page and think "hm yes this is sure to give me good information," then I don't know what the fuck to tell you.
>>1425628>Government sources are only valid when a Democrat is president Go dilate tranny.
>>1425630Who quote, fag?
>>1425630Trump's government lies so often no word from them can be trusted. We can't even trust their job numbers because he just fired the head of BLS for reporting they were low.
>>1425637The part that makes you retarded is thinking the numbers were ever real or based on anything to begin with.>Oh no now Trump is in office so the government can lie now
>>1425516Retard he put RFK in charge of the CDC
>>1425640Half the people running for president on the Democratic ticket last cycle are in the current administration now. The most bi-partisan administration of our lifetimes.
>>1425639Previous admins understood you needed real job numbers eventually lest the US being uninvestable. Trump doesn't.
>>1425556Says the retard that is stuck unironically having to defend that trump is anti vax until this thread archives. Lmao @ ur life
>>1425648I'm sorry, who put the guy currently ending vaccine programs in charge of national health? NTA but holy shit you're retarded.
>>1425649The presumption being that untested medicine being distributed to the public couldn't be against public health...?Well, that's retarded.
>>1425520Not an argument>>1425523We're talking about the COVID vaxx, anything else is irrelevant>>1425640Irrelevant, retard>>1425649Have fun coping because you're too young to remember 2020 and as a result got objectively BTFO again like you do in every thread
>>1425652you're quite the attention whore
>>1425652Resident lolcow indulging in their humiliation fetish
>>1425652>BTFO again like you do in every threadSays the IMAX projectionist
>>1425655Its just a performance comedy bit.They make the core of their persona someone completely obsessed with transexuals, claiming that there's no way someone can be something other than they are, then they pretend their shitty arguments and bad faith posting are the platonic ideal of debating and they're winning every argument. Its a masterful long-term demonstration in favor of trans rights and acceptance.
Hey remember the chinese videos of people dropping dead on the streets from covid before it came abroad? Or the reports from italian funeral homes that had backlogs of thousands for cremations?
>>1425657Your first example was actually real. But that's because China had a 'cultural banquet' involving countless people bringing mystery meat to a massive potluck. That's where COVID came from. Some retard from the Wuhan lab bought a second-hand lab animal and served it up.
>>1425659Why is the US government funding dangerous bio-"medical" research in third world countries where they don't follow containment and decontamination protocols?
>>1425660Same reason why we have biolabs all across the world. If something fucks up, we are buffered by physical distance and plausible deniability. The labor is also cheaper. Although, the US gov initially denied the Lab Leak theory because EcoHealth violated the terms of their NIH grant by allowing Gain of Function research to occur and failing to report it. So the US was partially responsible.
>>1425656>They make the core of their persona someone completely obsessed with transexuals>... he said while being the only person in this thread to bring up transexualsI love how schizo /news/ is.
>>1425662you're an exceptionally bad liar
>>1425651>untested>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9293739/90% of clinical drugs fail. How is that possible if no one is doing any tests on the drugs? Even when it comes to vaccines, the J&J Vaccine (the non-mRNA one ironically) was pulled.
>>1425664>How is that possibleTesting for adverse reactions is a function of time. These vaccines were barely tested in the short term, no long-term studies were conducted. That's why heart damage, infertility, cancers clots etc were considered conspiracy theories until years passed.
>>1425665>these vaccines were barely tested in the short term, no long-term studies were conducted>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28754494/>between Oct 21, 2013, and Jan 11, 2016, we enrolled and vaccinated 101 participants with 306 doses of mRNA>the vaccine was generally safe with a reasonable tolerability profile. Doctors have been doing human tests with mRNA vaccines for almost a decade before Covid even happened.
>>1425666>Doctors have been doing human tests with mRNA vaccines for almost a decade before Covid even happened.So I guess there's no need to test any new medicines when they get invented, because we tested medicine before.
>>1425668And we did test the covid vaccines and continue to do so.>https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04516746>Phase III Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of AZD1222 for the Prevention of COVID-19 in Adults>Study Start 2020-08-28
>>1425665>Testing for adverse reactions is a function of time.You can only get so many adverse reactions from something that's only in your body for a relatively small amount of time. A vaccine you took 2 years ago isn't going to suddenly start causing issues if it didn't already. And having to wait multiple years for "adverse reaction testing" when the reason for development is because you are IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC is beyond retarded.>That's why heart damage, infertility, cancers clots etc were considered conspiracy theories until years passed.they still are lol.
>>1425666>>the vaccine was generally safe with a reasonable tolerability profile. Okay, but now athletes are dying from 'SADS' en masse, and the people who shilled the vaccine have zero incentive to tell you that they scammed you.
>>1425675>guys a guy who regularly pushes his heart to its limits had a heart attack>this has to be vaccine related because an athlete has never had a heart attack ever before
>>1425675>https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMra022783>Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains the leading cause of sudden death from cardiac causes among young athletes.>Published September 11, 2003Seems like athletes have dying suddenly for quite some time here.>https://sads.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/petek-et-al-2023-sudden-cardiac-death-in-national-collegiate-athletic-association-athletes-a-20-year-study-1.pdf>the incidence of SCD in college athletes has decreased. Oh wait, it's actually going down post pandemic.
>>1425676>the people who have the fittest cardiovascular systems are dying en masse from heart attacks>this is totally normal and not a concern at allHave you ever considered the possibility that the pharmaceutical companies might be lying to you?
>>1425682Have you considered the people literally putting under their hearts under the most strain are the ones who discover previously unknown heart conditions and limits? AKA common fucking sense?See >>1425677. This has been known for decades.
>>1425685you can just call the shill a dumb faggot, everyone is already fully aware of how full of shit he is
>>1425685>AKA common fucking sense?"Trust me bro" isn't a source. Neither are academic journals which are funded by the very same corporations that are trying to shill you on the efficacy of vaccines.
>>1425686>fully aware of how full of shit he isThey literally changed the definition of 'vaccine' so that the state could call the COVID19 RNA therapy a vaccine, even though it doesn't actually immunize people.The same retards who called this shit a conspiracy theory are now unironically parroting the white nationalist talking points on Epstein. You people are fucking stupid.
>>1425688>They literally changed the definition of 'vaccine' so that the state could call the COVID19 RNA therapy a vaccine>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28754494/>vaccines based on mRNA coding for antigens have been shown to be safe and immunogenic in preclinical models. >Epub 2017 Jul 2I didn't know that they invented time travel either.
>>1425687Are you seriously so much of a contrarian you won't even accept papers from 20+ years ago that show yes, young athletes have a high heart attack rate?
>>1425688who writes your script, shill? why did they decide that you should repeat these ancient talking points today? you seem to do this once a month or so
>>1425691he's literally paid to lie, what do you expect
Vaccines don't kill people. Anti-vaxxers kill people.
>>1425691You're denying the sudden onset of athletes dying from scarring to their hearts, where none should exist, by citing cherry-picked journals from twenty years ago. This would be like trusting the government on Epstein, even though we have a mountain of witness testimony which proves that they are lying.
>>1425696Gee anon, why would there be scarring on their hearts? It's not like they're pushing it to the limit through intense physical activity on a consistent basis....Oh, wait.
>>1425697I'll tell you what anon. In 10-20 years, when all this shit is made public, I'll promise not to tell you 'I told you so'.
>>1425700i'll tell you you're a faggot right now
>>1425701You're a mudblood, why would I give a shit?
>>1425702you're still a faggot
>>1425695Then why do vaccinated people, surrounded by vaccinated people, still die from COVID?
>>1425719>still die from COVID?No one died from covid. Every flu death and car crash was just counted as covid. The mortality rate was less than 1%
>>1425719Breakthroughs happen. They become more likely by people not getting vaccinated. >>1425740>No one died from covid.>The mortality rate was less than 1%
>>1425700anon it's been 3 years and you've had to go through 5 different "things that'll kill all the people who took the vax" side effects when the previous one failed to manifest. if you think people are gonna start dropping dead from a vaccine they took 10 years ago, I have a bridge to sell you. That's like claiming you'll get food poisoning from something you ate last summer.
>>1425740It's unthinkable that someone would attribute deaths to something unrelated just to support their narrative. Truly shameless. Anyway, tell me more about how people are getting all sorts of health problems that are absolutely definitely because of covid vaccines and not literally anything else.
>>1425781Vaccines go through years, sometimes decades of testing to prevent exactly what we're talking about.You are the test group for long-term adverse reactions.
>>1425799>long-term adverse reactions.Long-term adverse reactions are reactions that PERSIST for a long time, not that suddenly show up years later you fucking retard. That doesn't happen; either it causes a problem within a few months of being injected, or it phases out of the body.
>>1425815>either it causes a problem within a few months of being injected, or it phases out of the body.You're a fuckin retard, and you are the test subject. There's a reason the trial phase for medications are normally years long instead of months, and even then medicine gets approved all the time and then subsequently pulled for 'unwanted side effects.'
>>1425846>even then medicine gets approved all the time and then subsequently pulled for 'unwanted side effects.'Yes, because they find there's people that take it and then develop issues. Not people that take it, are fine for 5 years, and then somehow suddenly develop an issue.The fact you're CLINGING to the cope that "Uh, things will start getting really bad in 5 years when all these seemingly healthy people start suddenly developing complications from a vaccine they took years ago!" is a sign of how little you know on this subject and how desperate you are to not admit you threw your life away during covid for nothing.
>>1425847I don't have to wait 5 more years because everybody I know who took it either died already or regrets having took it. I didn't take it and I made sure my kids didn't get it.I feel no need to wait on the medical establishment to admit its' mistake publicly more than it already has. I am going to law school soon and will be a lawyer in a few more years; I'm very much considering personal injury as a specialty. I believe there may be a new wave of medical malpractice lawsuits in the pipeline regarding all these vaccines injuries and transgender 'treatments' for minors; it may be the best career move I can make.
>>1425848Yeah yeah I'm sure everything in this post is true.
>>1425849I told my best friend over and over not to get the jab, but he just wanted to fly to Europe on his fastpass bullshit and not have trouble at the bank he was working at because they were forcing everyone to get it. His boss got the droopy face when she got the vaccine. Of course he and his wife went and got the jabs, she was super liberal. They didn't have symptoms right away, they went back and got two boosters each. Two weeks after her third jab, his wife had a seizure and died in her sleep in her early 30s. Now he is having circulatory issues in his legs and can't feel his feet any more, but he's still alive I guess.My grandparents were both in their 90s and were as pro-vaccine as you could get having grown up knowing people who were crippled from polio. They both the vaccine and they both died in 2021. If course they don't do autopsies on people over a certain age and certainly not if it appears to be natural causes, so there's no way to ever prove how they died. My dad also died last year at 71; he got the jab too.
>>1425856Of all the fanfic that's ever been written, this sure is amongst the most fictional.Pro tip: people don't get multiple boosters for the same vaccine at the same time. I know about artistic license but you should really address that glaring plot hole.
>>1425857>people don't get multiple boosters for the same vaccine at the same time.Nobody said they got three jabs at the same time, you fuckin retard.My story is just one data point. Everybody will have to come to their own conclusions based on their own experiences. I'm sure I'm not the only person who realizes how disgusting the actions of the medical establishment and politicians in control have been since 2020. People are waking up on their own, because reality is what we have to deal with when all the bullshit and lies is stripped away.
>>1425859>My story is just one data pointYour story is a fanfic you wrote up. I know this because we all know you don't have friends, let alone kids.
>>1425860That's fine faggot. How sad and lonely it must be to be an oldfag in your 40s never having known a woman. Why care about what the vaccine is doing to normies at all then? Why don't you yearn for the sweet embrace of death? If I was as weak and pathetic as you, surely I would.
^ Chat is this W projection?
>>1425865the local shill breaking down after lying about stuff is pretty standard. Eventually they'll start shrieking that everyone is a tranny and writing out elaborate fantasies where you and all the other liberal posters get prison raped while they look on and goon
>>1425849>anon trusts the government on topics of medicine>anon assumes that everybody who argues to the contrary is a liarWell, this has never turned out to be a bad idea before.
>>1425901every idea you've ever had is bad
