Security Guards to Accompany Mobile Vaccination Units After Harassment by Anti-Vaxxers

Security guards will help protect workers at three mobile COVID vaccination units in Colorado's Jefferson County following an extended period of harassment and vandalism. The arrangement will remain in place for the foreseeable future so that the county can continue hold vaccination events, according to The Gazette, a local publication.

The county's public health agency was forced to pull back the three mobile units after a driver in nearby Gilpin County, where one of the units was contracted to work, approached the van and destroyed pieces of signage. According to Dr. Dawn Comstock, executive director for the agency, staff members had also been verbally harassed by members of the public on September 4.

The incidents were the culmination of months of similar harassment and abuse leveled against the units. In a particularly severe example, somebody throw lit fireworks into one of the tents a unit was working out of. All such incidents were reported to the local police, but the suspects had fled the scene before they could be taken into custody.

2. I really wish there was a way to make these idiots pay back all of the money wasted due to their

antics. They no longer should get to cry about national debt or any other fiscal matter in my opinion.

3. Glad to hear they're also coordinating with local law enforcement.

Arrest and charge vandals and those who harass health workers and watch the misbehavior melt away.

4. We could also do this...

Put up a sign that says "anyone within 250 feet of this clinic will be vaccinated."
