Large crowds of demonstrators gathered around sites in New York City, as well as upstate, demanding the government repeal mandatory vaccination orders for certain categories of workers and the ‘passport’ system implemented in NYC.

Protesters were seen marching in Manhattan, Staten Island, and elsewhere in the city on Monday afternoon and into the evening, with one reporter on the scene estimating a crowd of at least 1,000 in the former borough.

Marchers were heard chanting “My body, my choice!” in footage making the rounds online – echoing a slogan of pro-abortion activists – as well as “No means no!” and the more direct “F**k Joe Biden and De Blasio!” referring to the president and the New York mayor. Others were seen hoisting a banner opposing “medical mandates” and “digital passports” while demanding “health freedom now!”

Other demonstrations erupted upstate as well, such as in Rochester, where one group gathered to protest a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers outside the Strong Memorial Hospital.
