There were no incidents of violence, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“It’s really pitiful,” said German Jaquez, who had been waiting for an hour for his vaccination when the stadium gates were closed. He said some of the protesters were telling people online that the coronavirus is not real and that vaccination is dangerous.
A message on social networks announced the demonstration as “a demonstration against the false pandemic”.
The message advised attendees “not to wear Donald Trump / MAGA clothes because we want our statement to resonate with the sheep.” No flags, only informative posters. ”
“This is an information sharing demonstration and a march against everything related to COVID, vaccine, PCR tests, containment, masks, Doctor Fauci, Bill Gates, Governor Newsom , China, digital tracing, etc. ”
