Protests erupted outside of Queen's Park yesterday afternoon, with hundreds gathering in opposition to Doug Ford's newvaccine passport announcement.

Their disdain for mainstream media was apparent from the get-go.

'Fake news!'

Crowds of angry anti-vaxxer and anti-mask groups then moved to a few other locations to loudly protest the move, further segregating these science-denying populations from everyday activities.

Saw a big antivax protest in downtown Toronto today. Right in front of the biggest hospitals. This is appallingly disrespectful to doctors, nurses, patients, and everyone else there. Imagine walking to work through this to care for covid patients...图片.twitter.com/5zieTcdNTc

Perhaps the most troubling satellite protest occurred on hospital row, where exhausted healthcare workers had their long efforts trivialized instead of celebrated.

Antivax protest outside my hospital today - in case a global pandemic, demoralizing 4th wave, critical nursing shortage and record burnout levels amongst healthcare workers wasn't enough.

用丰富多彩的语言是典型的这些迹象protests, this one directed at the Prime Minister.

This parade/rally took place during regular work hours on a weekday. There was strong turnout nonetheless.#onpoli#cdnpoli#Elxn44图片.twitter.com/g0cQXAuo01

A disturbing pattern is emerging, with protesters once again seen making comparisons to Nazi racial laws as a means to justify their resistance to basic common sense.

This man routinely kneels on the street during#antivaxxprotests and begs police to kill him.

Yet he is concerned that masks scare children?#onpoli#cdnpoli#Elxn44图片.twitter.com/1KMaYPuHep

Concerns were raised about the obstruction of University Avenue, a vital thoroughfare for ambulances making trips to and from the many hospitals on this stretch. And once again, police are under fire for their handling of the situation.

I don’t mean to be hyperbolic, but it looks like@TorontoPolicehave completely & utterly lost control of the situation.

Police have yet to publicly share their thoughts on the vaccine passport announcement, though there are continued allegations on Twitter thata contingent of the force is anti-vax/mask/passport.

Spoke to a police officer today at the Nurses against Vaccine Mandates protest he's super excited to March tomorrow. Come out if you can#Toronto#VaccinePassports#VaccineMandate#BackTheBlue#JustSayNo图片.twitter.com/4QxQMBcSbs

Another alarming video from the hospital row protest shows an unmasked unvaccinated protester reaching through a car to honk a stranger's horn. Yikes. Hopefully, that car has a bottle of hand sanitizer in it.

Another protest broke out on Yonge Street, where crowds were spotted marching past Yonge-Dundas Square chanting "freedom," carrying signs and banners.

With another 20 days before the vaccine passport mandate takes effect, we could be in store for a turbulent few weeks of further protests.
