Anti-vaxxers forced a mobile COVID-19 vaccine site in Georgia to shut down after threatening health

Georgia's health department chief said workers at state COVID-19 vaccination events have been the victims of "threats" - and that one mobile inoculation site had to shut down due to "bullying."

"I've become aware that many of our workers who are doing these vaccinations are receiving threats, hostile emails, harassing emails," the state's Department of Public Health commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey said during a press briefing Monday, according to The Telegraph.

"That shouldn't happen to nurses who are working in the field to try and keep our state safe," Toomey said.

"I heard one mobile [vaccination] event had to close down because of the bullying and threats that were directed to our team," Toomey said as she blasted the aggressive behavior by the anti-vaccination campaigners.
