Times Square swarmed by hundreds protesting COVID vaccine mandate

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in New York City’s Times Square Saturday to protest coronavirus vaccine mandate requirements.

The event was part of the "World Wide Rally For Freedom" which took place in cities across the globe including in Australia where protesters clashed with police in videos posted to social media.

"We will push back against widespread propaganda, by producing our own media, and advancing our own narrative, instead of succumbing to the one being pushed on us. We will not accept the rampant politicization of science and medicine, and we will return these institutions to being neutral sources of information for the benefit of society, over government and corporate interests," a press release about Saturday’s event reed on the organizers' website.
