A Los Angeles coronavirus vaccination site was forced to temporarily shut down after protesters blocked the entrance.
David Ortiz, a firefighter with the Los Angeles Fire Department, told The Hill that the department temporarily closed the gates of Dodgers Stadium between 1:50 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. because there were protesters outside.
About 50 anti-vaccine and far-right demonstrators gathered at the entrance on Saturday afternoon, the Los Angeles Times first reported. The site is usually opened from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

About 12,000 people are expected to be vaccinated there every day, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
One social media post showed protesters not wearing masks and carrying signs that read “99.6% Survival Rate” and “I only like muzzles in the bedroom.”
