GRAND RAPIDS, MI (AP)— The public health officer in the Grand Rapids area says he’s a victim of “brute mob hatred” after ordering masks in schools in Kent County to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Adam London told county commissioners that a woman tried to run his vehicle off the road in August immediately after the mask order. He's no longer making public appearances because of concerns about violence.
Angry residents have expressed their disgust over the mask order at public meetings.
County commissioners can’t overrule London. He says there's a "sickness in America far more insidious” than COVID-19.
