    Default Anti-Vaccination Activists Are Growing Force at Virus Protests

    These idiot's pose a threat to the rest of us, look at what they did to the increase of measles outbreaks in this country?!!

    Public health experts fear that their messaging could further harm the country’s response to the pandemic.

    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.

    But the organizers were not militia members, restaurant owners or prominent conservative operatives. They were some of the loudest anti-vaccination activists in the country.

    The people behind the rally are founders of a group, the Freedom Angels Foundation, which is best known in California for its opposition to state efforts to mandate vaccinations. And the protest was the latest example of the overlapping interests that have connected a range of groups — including Tea Party activists and armed militia groups — to oppose the measures that governors have taken to stop the spread of the corona virus.
