Thousands of protesters opposed to vaccine mandates marched in Washington, D.C., on Sunday in an event dubbed “Defeat the Mandates,” which featured several prominent speakers, including Dr. Robert Malone.
Protesters gathered at the Washington Monument and marched to the Lincoln Memorial steps at around 11:30 a.m. Many demonstrators held signs and banners promoting freedom of choice when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine and criticizing health officials and the Biden administration.

A spokesman from a group of firefighters against the vaccine mandates, called “Operation Freedom of Choice,” attended the event to raise awareness for how the mandates have negatively affected first responders around the country.
“The mental strain on first responders is already at an all-time high … To turn around and say now you’re not worth being a firefighter … it’s a huge impact,” a spokesman from the group said.

Dr. Robert Malone, who helped invent the technology used in the COVID-19 vaccine, cautioned the crowd to become educated about the risks of getting the vaccine.
“Please get informed about the possible risks, that your children may be damaged by these experiential medical products,” Malone said.
He further rebuked Big Tech and the legacy media for promoting “fear and psychological manipulation” regarding COVID-19.
