Approximately fifty protesters described as “members of anti-vaccine and far-right groups” gathered outside of the entrance to Dodgers Stadium on Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles, California, blocking people in cars from receiving their shots, which resulted in the vaccination site having to be temporarily shut down by the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Dodger Stadium’s mass COVID-19 vaccination site was shut down Saturday afternoon as about 50 protesters gathered at the entrance, stalling hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours,” The Los Angles Times reported.
