September 18, 2021: Over a thousand concerned citizens gathered at the Oregon State Capitol to protest Governor Kate Brown’s Covid vaccine mandates. Governor Brown has recently mandated Covid vaccinations for healthcare workers, K-12 school teachers and staff, and executive branch state employees.
The “Freedom From Vaccine Mandates Rally” was organized by America First Oregonians and Oregonians For America. Luke Yamaguchi, a functional nutritionist in Albany, spoke on behalf of Oregonians For Medical Freedom who sponsored the event. He opined: “It should go without saying that mandated medicine has no place in a free country.”
Protestors at the event seemed to encompass a wide-range of demographics with medical professionals, educators, pastors, emergency service workers and state employees in attendance.
Healthcare workers, in a sign of resignation, left their shoes in front of the chainlink fence blocking the entrance of the Capitol Building.
