LOS ANGELES, CA After an anti-vaxxer protest group briefly shut down the nation s largest coronavirus vaccination site at Dodger Stadium last week, the group vowed to disrupt more California vaccination sites in the coming days.
The escalating tactics for disrupting vaccination efforts prompted the Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore to warn activists that they will be arrested if they block access to vaccination sites or intimidate workers and patients. It also inflamed familiar tensions between the anti-vaxxer movement epicentered in California and state lawmakers, who passed the strictest vaccination law in the nation in 2015.
