Antivaxx protesters @VGH. They’re free to voice out their opinion but they are rude & inconsiderate. Screaming, revving up their engine, cluncking whatever, blocking traffic when there are fragile patients around.@CTV @GlobalBC @dailyhive @CBCVancouver #selffish #disrespectful pic.twitter.com/AWb5IPJScZ

Just drove by the anti-science group protesting near VGH and spotted an 8-year-old with a sign proclaiming “My Body My Choice.”
Wonder how true that is…— Brendan Kergin (@BKergin) September 1, 2021

The Vancouver Police Department has asked drivers to avoid the area of 12th and Cambie. At this point in time, it’s unclear how long protesters will remain in the area.
#VanTraffic: Drivers are asked to avoid the area of 12th and Cambie, as a large group of protestors make their way from VGH to City Hall.
