A Tennessee woman is facing felony charges after authorities say she drove through a COVID-19 vaccination tent while yelling “No vaccine!”
According to the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened on Monday at a vaccination site in a mall parking lot in Maryville. Deputies working at the site said the woman, identified as Virginia, 35, sped toward the tent in a Chrysler Pacifica and drove through it before a deputy followed and stopped her.
The sheriff’s office said Virginia told investigators she drove through the tent to protest the vaccine. Officials said her actions put the lives of seven workers in danger. No one was hurt.
She has been charged with seven counts of felony reckless endangerment, one for each worker, and was released on bond. These are allegations, and she has not been convicted.
NBC News reported that its attempts to reach her for comment were unsuccessful, and a plea had not been reported.
