洛杉矶——据《洛杉矶时报》报道,周六,该国最大的疫苗接种点之一暂时关闭,因为数十名抗议者封锁了入口,使数百名排队数小时的司机停滞不前。
官员们告诉该报,洛杉矶消防局在下午2点左右关闭了道奇体育场疫苗接种中心的入口,以防万一。
据《纽约时报》报道,抗议者中有反疫苗和极右翼团体的成员。他们中的一些人举着谴责新冠肺炎疫苗的标语,并大声呼吁人们不要注射疫苗。
《纽约时报》称,没有发生暴力事件。
下午晚些时候,疫苗接种点重新开放。该网站通常从早上8点到晚上8点开放。
重新开放后,加文·纽瑟姆州长在推特上写道:“我们不会被吓倒或受到威胁。道奇体育场恢复运行。”
社交媒体上的一篇帖子将示威描述为“骗局抗议/游行”。它建议参与者“请不要穿特朗普/马加服装,因为我们希望我们的声明能引起公众的共鸣。没有标志,只有信息标志。
“这是一场共享信息的抗议和游行,反对一切COVID、疫苗、聚合酶链反应检测、封锁、面具、福奇、盖茨、纽森、中国、数字跟踪等。”
Anti-vaccine protesters temporarily shut down vaccine site
LOS ANGELES -- One of the largest vaccination sites in the country temporarily shut down Saturday because dozen of protesters blocked the entrance, stalling hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The Los Angeles Fire Department shut the entrance to the vaccination center at Dodger Stadium about 2 p.m. as a precaution, officials told the newspaper.
The protesters had members of anti-vaccine and far-right groups, the Times reported. 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, the Times said.
The vaccination site reopened later in the afternoon. The site is usually open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
After it reopened, Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted: “We will not be deterred or threatened. Dodger Stadium is back up and running.”
A post on social media described the demonstration as the “SCAMDEMIC PROTEST/MARCH.” It advised participants to “please refrain from wearing Trump/MAGA attire as we want our statement to resonate with the sheeple. No flags but informational signs only.
“This is a sharing information protest and march against everything COVID, Vaccine, PCR Tests, Lockdowns, Masks, Fauci, Gates, Newsom, China, digital tracking, etc.”
