| Protesters temporarily block LA vaccination site |
| 2021-01-31 |
| [AP] The Los Angeles Times reports that one of the largest vaccination sites in the nation temporarily shut down Saturday because dozen of protesters blocked the entrance, stalling hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours. Officials say the Los Angeles Fire Department shut the entrance to the vaccination center at Dodger Stadium about 2 p.m. as a precaution. The protesters had members of anti-vaccine and far-right groups. Some of them carried signs decrying the COVID-19 vaccine and shouting for people not to get the shots. There were no incidents of violence. |

| #19 I'm the neurotic guy in the upper righthand corner, with my joe biden sunglasses, blue shirt, and john deere hat. I don't know where my MAGA hat went to, but I suspect my goat commaLA may have eaten it. She looks constipated, she'll need several enemas over the next three weeks to get her regular. |

| #17 Published Jan. 25 in the journal Virulence, say that these "animal reservoirs" may pose a risk to humans down the road, because there is the potential for the virus to evolve in those species and spread back to people. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is known to infect a number of animals besides humans, including cats, dogs, minks, tigers and gorillas. Cats and dogs may eventually need their own COVID-19 vaccines to prevent the coronavirus from evolving further and "spilling" back to humans, according to one group of researchers. |

| #15 It's not even a matter of left or right. I haven't gotten the vaccine, and, as long as I don't have to, I probably won't. I fight having to take a Iboprofen or simple aspirin. Popping pills if I don't have to is not my gig. |

| #14 I'm pretty far right. I am not in a rush to get the vaccine, but will do so when it is convenient. Even if I did not want to get it because I thought it was 'bad', why should I care if somebody else did - that would be their choice and their problem. |

| #12 I am completely uninterested in arguing about vaccines any more. Minds have been made up, even those who want to wait to see how they work in the real world before making a decision about whether or not to be vaccinated. The protesters are wasting their time. So are those of you arguing their point here. Unlike abortion, those choosing to get vaccinated are fully adult, and judge the risks of vaccination to be lower than the risk, to them, of not being vaccinated. That is my 95 year old mother’s choice, because she is very old and lives closely with other very old people in a retirement home. Trailing daughter #1, final daughter, and I have asked our GP to try to get us pushed up on the priority list because we have serious health issues which increase the likelihood that a) we will get sick if exposed, and b) if we get sick we will get very sick. Mr. Wife, who is pretty healthy, is perfectly content to risk getting sick before his turn comes, probably after they offer it to college kids, so long as his womenfolk are protected as soon as possible. It should be noted that there are plenty of doctors who are idiots. And even more doctors’ wives. Having a brain better than usual at memorizing vast reams of information and applying that information in a narrow context does not imply anything about general cleverness or wisdom. Being married to someone like that implies absolutely nothing at all — some men like their wives to be pretty and stupid. I refer all of you who did not see Steve White’s post yesterday to it here. And for those who do not know him, he was the senior moderator here since the early days. He had to give it up when the extra workload and frustration caused by Obamacare on both the doctoring and professing sides of of his work took too much time from what he did so wonderfully here. |

| #11 Well Pancho, could it also be because Marin County has one of the highest, if not the Highest concentration of medical professionals in California, and possibly the USA per capita ? So if there is a concentration of anti-vaxx'ers there, the "house wife" is likely married to one of the decenting medical experts on the topic of mRNA gene therapy for the Wohan Biological Attack Weapon |

| #9 America’s most visible anti-vaxxer: Robert F. Kennedy Jr Most notorious anti-vaxxer enclave in the USA: Marin County CA north of San Francisco, famously left-wing suburb of San Francisco, home to lefty millionaires and the hardcore lefty dike school, Mills College Non-California and non-Mormon cities with the largest number of applications for anti-vaxxer exemptions: 1. Phoenix 2. Seattle 3. Portland 4. Troy, Michigan (liberal Oakland County north of Detroit) |

| #8 Just going out on a limb here, but a lot of the anti-vaxxers appear to be helicopter Moms that get their Medical Degree from youtube. Doubt they qualify as "hard-right extremists" |

| #6 "...and far-right groups." Gee, a media account would not be complete without a reference to "far-right" or "right-wing extremist" groups. But to block a vaccination site? How f'in retarded, I don't care what one's opinion on the vaccine is. Idiots. |

| #5 The vast vast majority of the anti-vaxxers are lefties, not on the right. And none showed up at our site in Texas yesterday when I got jab two of Moderna. Very sore all over, especially site arm. Wife spiked 102 fever and is sore and weak. It's really too bad there was no protestors as we could have all used some target practice :p (J/K) |

| #3 Some of them carried signs decrying the COVID-19 vaccine and shouting for people not to get the shots. There were no incidents of violence. I guess the old-duffers scheduled for vaccination just had to sit and take it. |

| #2 It's the new racism card. They will yell that shit until we are both dead from old age. Get used to it. Fuck all of the son of bitches. |

| #1 "far-right groups" Really? What does this term, as used by our mendacious "narrative"-mongers, even mean? How do they know whether someone's not an anti-vaxxer but instead is "far right"? |
