The Faktograf.hr received the following message via email: “Dear Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your work and effort so that we can enjoy the real facts unhindered, and not the myths surrounding us by various anti-vaxxer groups. Namely, I may be the brother, perhaps the cousin of Andrija Drežnjak, and I would like to draw your attention to the fact that there is talk of a large sum of money for a similar scenario at the address of Valentina Vodnika 4. As far as I know, two people from the Faktograf are being followed. You have to be careful, there are a lot of people who are sick and ready for anything. People think it’s impossible or that the police protect them, but no one is untouchable. You are my favourite portal and I happily follow you, and I wouldn’t like someone like Andrija Drežnjak to visit you. Good luck in your further work and of course the rest of your life! P.S. Please don’t be swayed by this encouraging email to keep pushing these anti-vaxxers where it hurts the most.”
