ATLANTA - Just days after resigning his position to protest President Donald Trump's firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez, ex- CDC official Dan Jernigan joined former colleagues and Democratic state lawmakers at the state capitol to voice their concerns over the Trump administration's response to last month's deadly shooting at the DeKalb County campus, staffing cuts and shifts in vaccine policy.
What they're saying:
Those testifying criticized the Trump administration for not coming out and denouncing August's shooting.
They said the vilification of federal employees and vaccines makes CDC employees the target of violence.
Just last month, a local man who believed the COVID-19 vaccine made him suicidal opened fire on several buildings and killed a responding police officer.
