On Nov. 15, dozens of people mostly from San Pedro gathered along Western Avenue in front of Peck Park to protest the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination mandates for public schools.
Billed as “Medical Freedom Rally,” the demonstration was organized via social media to protest the requirement all public school students to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
“We are not anti-vax, just anti-mandate!” as others cheered other slogans like, “My body, my child, my choice” and “Let’s go Brandon!”
Most of the protestors brought their children along to participate.
The San Pedro demonstration mirrors similar protests across the country, linking together anti-mandate healthcare workers and anti-vaxxers who were already opposed to vaccination requirements before the advent of the coronavirus.
A week prior, hundreds of people, including some Los Angeles municipal employees, protested against COVID-19 vaccination mandates outside City Hall Monday in a demonstration organized by Firefighters4Freedom.
Dozens of people among the crowd were wearing clothes designating their employment with the Los Angeles city and county fire departments, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and other government agencies.
