I'd say there were a good 250 or 300 of us at the antivax rally in front of pfizer & moderna (they are a few blocks from each other here in Cambridge - nicknamed "the people's republic of Cambridge" - a very liberal city). I saw people in the rally who I know are (or used to be) left wing - One who used to be very active in left wing rallies was there. He got double vaxed & ears have not stopped ringing since the 2nd. So now he's clearly against it. I'd say the movement is growing.

About a 1/3 of the cars beeped in support and almost every truck driver! Some passerbys tried to ignore us. Others were curious. We hit Moderna at lunch break & many were watching us from the windows. At least 25, maybe 50 altogether. I would wave at them & try to make eye contact. (The point is to reach the humanness inside them - they are all humans) A few moved from the window when I engaged with them this way. Others did not, though.

Upon leaving I was with a fragment that was saying "Let's go Brandon" lol. A passerby asked us who is Brandon? - lol-. The black woman in our company explained: "It means fuck Joe Biden" That passerby must have been one of the 200 or so people who actually did vote for Biden. She had a more negative reaction. But she heard us - and now she knows what it means - And hidden in that is the seed of the fact that the media is so full of shit ;)
