The father of the man responsible for a shocking shooting at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) headquarters in Atlanta has made a devastating claim, directly linking his son's violent breakdown to the Covid-19 vaccine.
In an exclusive and emotional interview, the father detailed what he describes as a profound and tragic personality change in his 36-year-old son, Michael, following his vaccination. He stated that his previously stable and successful son became plagued by severe mental health issues, including intense paranoia and debilitating chronic pain, which he believes were vaccine-induced.
A Life Unravelled
The father painted a picture of a man who had it all—a promising career in IT, a loving family, and a bright future—before everything spiralled out of control post-vaccination. He described a descent into a world of conspiracy theories and a fixed belief that the vaccine had caused irreparable harm to his body.
This belief allegedly fuelled an obsession with targeting the CDC, the institution he held responsible for promoting the vaccine rollout. The attack, which took place in August 2025, sent shockwaves through the public health community.
Official Response and Ongoing Debate
While health authorities and the CDC itself have consistently stated that serious side effects from Covid-19 vaccines are extremely rare, this tragic event throws a spotlight on the intensely personal and often polarising narratives surrounding vaccine safety.
The incident is set to reignite difficult conversations about vaccine injury claims, mental health support systems, and the long-term societal impact of the pandemic. It underscores the complex intersection of public health policy and individual tragedy.
As investigations continue, the father's testimony stands as a harrowing account of loss and a desperate search for answers in the wake of an unthinkable act.
