‘Baseless attacks’ online trigger lockdown at Oklahoma hospital ICU

Kat Jercich February 16, 2022

A hospital in Oklahoma City has placed its intensive care unit (ICU) on lockdown and increased security after facing “baseless attacks” online regarding its COVID-19 protocols. The attacks stem from a social media conflict with a local organization, leading to the filing of a restraining order by the hospital. The hospital reassured its staff that the claims made against them are untrue and that their safety is their top priority. On February 14, the court granted a temporary injunction against the founder of the organization involved.
