Police are currently investigating the claim, which has raised questions about the potential mental health impacts of vaccination. The incident has intensified discussions within the community about the broader implications of vaccine-related beliefs and their influence on individuals’ actions.
Officials have emphasized that there is no scientific evidence linking the vaccine to suicidal behavior.
