Stubborn Scofflaw Yoga Studio Owner In Pacifica Makes Apparent Threats Against County Supervisor s Family
As the Trumpists continue their wails of false fury about an election that they lost, a local battle that epitomizes the idiocy of politicizing the pandemic and denying basic science rages on just south of San Francisco.
In the little coastal town of Pacifica, the owner of Pacifica Beach Yoga has been engaged in a battle of memes and anti-science for much of the past year, all while continuing to host indoor yoga classes in defiance of state and county health orders. Tommy Antoon, a proponent of hot yoga and a vocal supporter of the former president, used the social media accounts of his yoga studio both to denigrate Democrats and aggrandize Trump throughout 2020, all while proudly advertising that he was still offering mask-free indoor classes using hashtags like #fearfree and #cowardfree.
Covidiot Files: Trump-y Pacifica Yoga Studio Owner Continues Flouting Health Orders, Hosting Mask-Free Classes
A yoga studio in Pacifica that has apparently been holding in-person classes without masks since the spring or summer and whose owner fills social media pages with pro-Trump and anti-Biden memes continues to do so despite raging infection rates and surging hospitalizations in San Mateo County and the Bay Area at large.
Tommy Antoon, the owner of Pacifica Beach Yoga, first caught our attention in October. And after being flagged by Yelp reviewers and others for refusing to comply with public health orders and being further called out in the local news media enforcement by the county seems have been pretty weak and Pacifica Beach Yoga continues doing its mask-free, virus-free yoga classes with impunity.
