The protest on Friday in Sacramento urging California’s governor to reopen the state resembled the rallies that have appeared elsewhere in the country, with crowds flocking to the State Capitol, pressing leaders to undo restrictions on businesses and daily life.

That you. Bill?
Their bodies....their choice, eh, lefties?
I forgot...that only applies to abortion. /s
Tase ‘em and vaccinate ‘em.
Good. Only a fascist would be ok with mandatory vaccination.
(Leftists) - "You're not a doctor! Screw you Drumpf!"
(Bill Gates) - "Take this unproven vaccine shot that has killed hundreds in 3rd world countries and call me in the morning."
(Leftists) - "Oh boy! Where do I sign up?"
And if the same sort of mortality arises as with the disastrous polio vaccine in India, round up every single forced vaccinator and publically hang them.
No exceptions.
Mis-direction.
NYT trying to distort the event with buzzwords intended evoke knee-jerk reactions.
They truly are fake news.
There are a few existing viruses in the corona family. None have a successful vaccine so far!
They don’t want to let people have the option to control what goes into their bodies.
Especially because they are exempt from legal lawsuits for death and damages.
“For example, an adherent of QAnon, a group of conspiracy theorists, was among the first to spread the canard that Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft, was behind the creation and spreading of the virus as a means to grab control over the global health system. People opposing mandatory vaccinations quickly picked up on that theme, and Mr. Gates has become a new boogeyman of the far right.”
Ah. QAnon no less. :-)
naturally, Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs is not the sole writer. at bottom, Shawn Hubler and Neil MacFarquhar contributed reporting.
FakeNewsMSM is determined to frame the protesters as anti-vaxxer, gun-toting, Tea Party, conspiracy theorist types.
meanwhile, NYT has spent years promoting one conspiracy theory after another - Russia hoax, Ukraine hoax, Impeachment hoax, Covid biggest pandemic since 1918 hoax.
bunch of wa**ers.
at the very least the headline and text should have said:
Activists known for their opposition to SOME vaccines, or MANDATORY, NOT PROPERLY TESTED vaccines.
So you're in favor of the government using force to inject something into someone against their will? Do you support the police enforcing tyrannical edicts that have no basis in law?
I don’t have kids and will happily live a child-free life.
That said, I would have a kid vaccinated, but fewer at one time spread out over a longer period of time.
Media: play up most extreme of the conservatives. Play up the most moderate of the anti-conservatives.
We’ve got a meme to support!
Aren’t some strains of the common cold coronaviruses? And don’t these often mutate?
How do you create a vaccine for something that’s mutating, and for which several strains may be going around?
I’ve only taken the ‘regular’ flu vaccine twice. Got the flu one year despite it, and one year felt bad for months after the shot. In the several years since I decided to stop getting the shot, I’ve caught nothing.
I think there are vaccines that actually work; but vaccines for things like this seem like a crapshoot.
I hope I’m wrong; maybe all the testing will result in knowledge at least of the main strain we’re seeing here. I guess we’ll find out the first season a new vaccine for Covid-19 is used.
True.
Would be great if this mess ends up with a coronavirus treatment/cur/vaccinee.
