Hometown Hero: Dr. Adam Wolk
This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Dr. Adam Wolk a physician who has been working tirelessly to get people vaccinated for COVID-19.
As the three different people who separately nominated him all agree, that is just the beginning of the good work he does.
“Just today, I get a text that he’s giving 150 shots and then 100 shots tomorrow and 100 shots the day after while doing his normal job,” said Satya Kallepali.
Dr. Wolk has focused his efforts on vaccinating people in underrepresented and underserved communities. He’s organized vaccination drives among local teachers. He’s done outreach with Black churches and residents in public housing communities.
I thought the Gaetzes had trumped up some kind of probation violation against me, he said.
Alford said he arrived at the probation office to find an FBI agent waiting to give him an opportunity to tell his side of the extortion story that embattled Congressman Matt Gaetz with an assist from father Don has floated in response to allegations he traveled with and had sex with a 17-year-old girl and that he paid for sex with other women.
The alleged extortion attempt came eight months after the Department of Justice opened its investigation into the sex trafficking allegations. The FBI s questions related to the allegation Congressman Gaetz had thrown out that we were trying to extort him. They were only interested in the allegations Congressman Gaetz had made, and I gave them all the information I have, Alford said. I answered to the best of my ability. I have nothing to hide.
