A shooter attacked the CDC, killing a police officer before taking their own life, in what the CDC attributed to misinformation about COVID vaccines. The podcast covering the event frames it as a case of “delusions of helping,” where someone justifies violence with perceived good intentions, arguing that the core issue is not the vaccine debate itself but the belief that harming others is a valid solution. It calls for addressing misinformation, promoting acceptance and healthier coping strategies for chronic conditions, and helping people find constructive paths forward instead of turning to violence.
