Dodger Stadium's COVID-19 vaccination site shut down after protesters gather at entrance
Source: Los Angeles Times
Dodger Stadiums 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 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 stadiums 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. Ive 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.

(1,727 posts)It is not free speech to stop people from getting vaccinated in the middle of a pandemic. It is akin to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

(51,728 posts)Unfortunately, there appear to be a lot of anti-vaxxers among LAFD. 40% of LAFD have refused their covid vaccines. https://www.democraticunderground.com/104025280
I bet that's why they shut the site down instead of simply calling the cops and having these domestic terrorists arrested.

LAPD should reorganize so there is an area for these non science believers to protest that doesn't interfere with others access to the vaccination area.

(36,937 posts)RWers say they want to control their own healthcare rather than have ACA, but they want to deny others the right to control their own healthcare by getting vaccinated.

(22,399 posts)If so, I would like to know which ones to avoid.
Maybe I could even block the entrance to their business, since they have already established this is acceptable.
