L.A. Times article July 26
Summary (abridged) —
When restaurants across California halted indoor dining as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in March 2020, Basilico’s Pasta e Vino in Huntington Beach continued to welcome patrons.
When officials issued an order for establishments to mandate face coverings to stem the spread of the virus, the Orange County eatery declared itself a mask-free zone and required that diners remove them before entering.
This week, the Italian restaurant issued another decree: Proof of being unvaccinated is required for entry.
Two signs bearing the message were taped to the windows of the restaurant, which is nestled between a gym and a sustainable beauty salon in a small strip mall at Hamilton Avenue and Brookhurst Street.
...
Basilico’s rejection of public health measures symbolizes how strongly anti-vaccination culture has taken hold in traditionally conservative enclaves such as Orange County, where distrust of government and outlandish social media claims have sparked outrage throughout the pandemic.
About 55% of Orange County residents are fully vaccinated, and about 62% are at least partially vaccinated, according to county data.
A similar sentiment from the restaurant — “Leave the mask, take the cannoli” — appeared on a billboard along La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles last year.
“Imagine if Americans would have refused mask mandates, or better even banned the masks like we have throughout the lockdowns,” the eatery posted on Instagram. “The tiny tyrants then would have never dared to think they could try and force vaccine mandates.”
That is correct. If you give them an inch they will take the mile.
Always have.
I want to spend a lot of money here…we should all band together and resist when they try to bring the mandates back. They have no power when we don’t comply. Zero.
that's awesome. I was in Huntington Beach for that first great lockdown protest in April 2020. What a crowd, I'll never forget the energy of that gathering. I was shirtless and smiling like a madman getting my solar vaccine.
Oh, look at this, an article that is simply presenting the information and not trying to tell me what to thin- oh no, never mind. There they go injecting their dumbass, uninformed opinion that nobody asked for.
