We’re at the mass vaccination site at Dodger Stadium to get my mom the vaccine. The anti–vax protestors have approached the entrance to the site. The LAPD have now closed the gate. We have been sitting here for about half an hour. Nobody is moving.

There has been no communication from the LAPD as to how long the entrance will be closed. They closed the gate as the protestors approached, presumably to stop them from entering the facility itself. Now nobody is going in. This is the largest vaccination site in the country.

There appears to be only about 30 protestors total. It’s not clear why they’ve shut off the whole facility.

Sheriff’s helicopter now circling the scene.

UPDATE: The police have arrived.

UPDATE: The police arrived in force, opened the gate, the anti vax protestors stepped aside and we are inside the facility. with a line of hundreds of cars.

FINAL UPDATE: My 69 year old high risk mom Bonnie got the jab! She said she could hardly even feel it. We teared up. We’ve waited a year for this. Get your vaccine. My love to all of your families.
