Anti-vaxxers gather to burn giant syringe in effigy at Utah demonstration – By Danielle Zoellner (The Independent) / May 5 2021

Hundreds of anti-vaxxers gathered in Utah to burn an effigy of a giant syringe to demonstrate their disdain over “medical tyranny”.
The demonstration, which took place in Moroni, Utah, on 1 May, was part of the “Night of Liberty” event and involved “who’s who” of local culture warriors, according to a post advertising the gathering.
In a video from the event, a large wooden effigy emblazoned with the words “MEDICAL TYRANNY” that rested against a barrel that was labelled “BIOHAZARD” was burned as attendees gathered around.
A video of the event was recorded by former Salt Lake City police officer Eric Moutsos, who made headlines in 2014 after he resigned from the police department when he was suspended for refusing to work the city’s annual LGBTQ Pride parade.
