A Southern California man was arrested after he recently attacked workers at a coronavirus vaccination clinic, allegedly calling them murderers and falsely accusing the staffers of causing the covid pandemic, according to police and clinic officials.
Two staff members with Families Together of Orange County were injured in a Dec. 30 attack on the groups mobile clinic in Tustin, Calif., the organization said in a news release Wednesday. Families Together said one of the members sustained serious injuries and was sent to the hospital in an ambulance but that both workers are expected to make a full recovery within a few days.
We are thankful for our teams bravery, strength and resilience, the group wrote. Despite the violent nature of the assault, Families Together kept offering vaccines and boosters to patients that day and the team was fully back at work the following week.
Thomas Apollo, 43, entered the clinic maskless last week and accused workers of being murderers who are making people sick before he started throwing punches at staffers, Parsia Jahanbani, mobile operations manager for Families Together, told the Orange County Register. Jahanbani recounted to the Los Angeles Times that it took multiple people at the clinic to pry Apollo away from a medical assistant he was beating up and that seven police officers were needed to restrain the man over about 15 minutes.

(2,190 posts)RW media intentionally works hard to set people like this guy off in the hope that they will become violent and even start shooting people. Then they vindicate themselves by using the excuse "Well, he was nuts".

There should be more lawsuits... or maybe the issue could be settled 'out of court'...
The guy who set fire to the Faux News Christmas tree had a misunderstanding about 'appropriate targets'.
