Thousands Protest Against Vaccine Mandates at ‘NYC Broadway Rally for Freedom’
Epoch Times ^ | 10/18/2021 | Enrico Trigoso

MANHATTAN, New York—What was initially a crowd of hundreds protesting against vaccine mandates and biased media had grown to thousands by 1 p.m. on Saturday in the heart of New York City.

On adjacent corners in Times Square, people of almost all ethnic backgrounds could be seen holding signs demanding “bodily autonomy” and a pro-choice stance with regard to COVID-19 vaccines and mandates, along with statements that suggested their views are being suppressed.

At the main rally site, “trap” music bounced off the buildings of Times Square. The lyrics expressed defiance against vaccine mandates and tyranny as the crowd grew at a pace of about a dozen people per minute. Some passersby scoffed while others looked intrigued.

“Let’s go Brandon!” was chanted, referencing a joke targeting President Joe Biden and legacy media.

The event, “NYC—Broadway Rally For Freedom,” featured a series of speeches, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of President John F. Kennedy.

The event kicked off with a singer performing a rendition of the National Anthem as people held their hands over their hearts.

Another young lady playing an electroacoustic nylon guitar projected her mellow voice through the microphone, changing the mood into one of pensive hope. After delineating the current situation on vaccine mandates in her lyrics, she prayed to Jesus that people be helped.

Kennedy then took the microphone to claim that COVID-19 vaccines are causing harm to people, and stressed that children should not be given the jab.

“We have no business giving this to children, it’s unethical,” said Kennedy, who was not featured in the event flyer, as people cheered.

Even the Epoch Times is prejudicial in how the write about the “claims” the vaccine has terrible side effects.

This demonstration will get scarce notice.

The protest is going to have to be dialed up several notches. Plugs is not aware and he is not the one to get the message. It is his handlers Jarrett, Rice, Obama and they don’t care. They are not running for election and believe they will not have to to win power.

What we are seeing is an inside takeover and we don’t even recoginze it. This is Tyranny.

Pushback is beginning. When it starts to get to critical mass size they’ll start sending out the guard.
This will begin to happen spontaneously across the nation, I hope.

That’s a message in multiple ways. “This is the way” is used on the financial subreddits.

Freedom’s in the air. On recent trip into Jerusalem, I got on the light rail that runs along Jaffe Street. Crowded train. Everyone’s wearing masks. I have mine on reluctantly, but didn’t cover my nose. Old woman, far from me, chides me to put it on over my nose. I tell her in Hebrew, “the hell with noses,” but hoist the mask over my nose. She continues to chide me. I answer her, “if three vaccines is no protection, masks are certainly no protection.” She goes on, “there’s still a pandemic.” So I finally let her have it. “Sure there’s still a pandemic, but masks are nothing but bullsh!t!” The entire car bursts out laughing. But she won’t stop. So finally, I tell her, “look, the mask is over my nose, so be quiet, already.” And she finally did.

Later, walking back from our appointment, back to the Central Bus Station along Jaffe Street for the exercise and fresh air, a man bursts out of one of the stores and rips his mask off and shouts “FREEEEEEDOM!!” like Mel Gibson playing Wallace.

If they start shooting, hold up a Karen as a human shield. They won’t be missed.

My guess is 99% voted for pudding brain. And likely will again. They will get EXACTLY what they vote for. Just like their governors and NYC mayor.

ENJOY THE SUCK NY!

WOW!!! First HomoKaliforniaStan and now NY, the state of criminal governors and mayors!!! WOW. Are people ACTUALLY starting to wake up to this communist dictatorships? They CAN ONLY BLAME THEIR SELVES as THEY voted this mob into their Politburo positions!! Including the Braindead fool in the former People’s House. I assume the commies have renamed it the Kremlin West.

I’m not that optimistic. Here in Chicago my neighbors still mow the lawn wearing masks.
This McAuliffe race will be telling.
