AntiVax demonstrators shut down vax site at Dodger Stadium - hal - 01-31-2021
Fuck these assholes!!
Dodger Stadium’s mass COVID-19 vaccination site was shut down Saturday afternoon as dozens of protesters gathered at the entrance, stalling hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours.
The Los Angeles Fire Department closed the entrance to the stadium at about 2 p.m. as a precaution, officials said.
The demonstrators included members of anti-vaccine and far-right groups. While some carried signs decrying the COVID-19 vaccine and shouting for people not to get the shots, there were no incidents of violence.
“This is completely wrong,” said German Jaquez, who drove from his home in La Verne and had been waiting for an hour for his vaccination when the stadium’s gates were closed. He said some of the protesters were telling people in line that the coronavirus is not real and that the vaccination is dangerous.
“This is the wrong message,” Jaquez said. “I’ve been waiting for weeks to get an appointment. I am a dentist; I am taking a big risk being around patients. I want to be safe for my patients and for my family. The vaccine is the only way to beat the virus.”
An official said the fire department planned to reopen the vaccination site at about 3 p.m. The site, one of the largest in the country, is usually open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

on a side note, my nice, but conspiracy freak/religious nutcase former neighbor started texting me anti vax nonsense after not hearing a word from him in 5 years. He's blocked now, that's fer sure.

@ssholes....there’s gotta be a more effective way to deal with these nuts when they roll up on vaccination sites like that.

it's one thing to be anti-vax and not get the shot yourself. it's a whole other level of messed up to stop others from exercising their choice to get the shot.

LAPD had no trouble kettling (corralling) BLM demonstrators - today they just locked the gates and stood around while protesters denied people the vaccines they need.

the idea that paddy wagons, water cannons and rubber bullets need to be on standby for a vaccination site is completely bonkers.
