@MarionDonnelly @luckytran I'd say this as a matter of #PublicHealth.
- #YellowFever #VaccineMandates are older than me and I think it's only reasonable to #mandate #vaccines espechally since governments refuse to reintroduce #MaskMandate|s but push for #MaskBan|s.
I guess having Pre-Boomers die of old age is the problem because many #Boomers got raised by #Polio #survivors flexing the #trauma of loosing up to 75% of their classmates by threatening to disown them if they didn't #Vaccinate their children!
- This isn't a matter of choice: We mandated #helmets for #motorcylists and #SeatBelts in #Cars for over half a century and this has been a net positive for everyone!
![The black and white photograph captures a moment of camaraderie among four individuals, likely during a protest or public demonstration. The person on the far left is wearing a knit hat with earflaps, an oversized coat, and has a camera around their neck; they are smiling broadly at someone off-camera.
In the center stands another individual who appears to be reading from a document held in both hands while laughing heartily. They wear a plaid jacket over a dark shirt, with a noticeable mustache on their face.
To the right of this central figure is one wearing what looks like construction or safety helmet and goggles atop their head; they are holding onto a microphone, suggesting they might be addressing a crowd or about to speak.
The fourth individual in view holds up another document. They wear a checkered coat with a high collar, also donning the hard hat for protection but without goggles on this occasion. Behind them is someone sitting down wearing what seems like winter clothing and possibly holding onto something that's not fully visible within the frame of our photograph.

![The black and white photograph depicts a large group of people gathered on an urban street. They appear to be participating in some form of demonstration or protest, as they are standing closely together with serious expressions. Some individuals within the crowd wear helmets and other protective gear that is often associated with civil unrest situations.
In the foreground, there are several police officers wearing helmets and carrying equipment indicative of riot control units—such as shields, batons, and possibly tear gas dispensers or other non-lethal weapons for crowd management. The officers' stance suggests a standoff situation between them and the group behind them.
The street is lined with residential buildings on both sides, indicating that this event took place in a neighborhood setting rather than an open public area like a park or square. A manhole cover and white markings are visible on the road surface, along with some scattered debris which may have been part of prior activities during the demonstration.
Overall, the photograph captures a tense moment between law enforcement officials and a large civilian group, likely illustrating a historical event related to social unrest over time. The image is credited as being taken from an Anti Springbok tour demonstration, suggesting that this was in response to South Africa's rugby team visiting or playing matches abroad during apartheid—a period known for inte [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/113/721/762/042/494/744/original/30f79f2f6dfafbb7.jpeg "The black and white photograph depicts a large group of people gathered on an urban street.

![The black and white photograph captures a moment involving three men engaged in conversation during nighttime outdoor gathering, possibly at an anti-nuclear weapons protest event held on Parliament grounds. The central figure is dressed casually with a faded jacket adorned by the American flag motif, paired with jeans or trousers underneath. His attire also includes glasses atop his head and a cap bearing slogans related to anti-war sentiments, suggesting active participation in social causes of that era.
The men's demeanor appears relaxed yet animated, indicative of lively discussion. The one on the left is wearing spectacles which might suggest an intellectual disposition while engaging with peers around him. His stance suggests attentiveness towards their discourse. Meanwhile, another individual seems to be a part of this convivial environment as well and contributes to the ambiance.
There's no direct indication or clear visibility of surrounding structures in the immediate vicinity; however, it appears they are amidst a crowd given the indistinct forms visible around them which possibly indicate more protesters gathered for what was evidently an organized event. The photograph encapsulates not only the interpersonal dynamics but also serves as historical documentation capturing a significant social movement.

![The photograph captures a group of individuals standing outdoors during what appears to be a protest or public gathering. The people are dressed in various styles, including coats and hats suitable for outdoor weather conditions.
In the center is an older man wearing glasses and dark coat who seems attentive and possibly listening intently as he looks slightly off-camera. To his left stands a woman with long hair and a black jacket; she holds what appears to be a book or folder in her hands, perhaps related to their cause or agenda for this gathering.
Behind these two are other individuals of different ages and genders, including one person wearing a hard hat which suggests some level of labor involvement. The expressions on the faces range from serious contemplation to attentive observation. The photograph is black and white, enhancing its timeless quality as it captures a moment in collective memory during an anti-springbok tour demonstration.
The setting appears overcast with diffused light suggesting either early morning or late afternoon timing. There's no distinct signage or banners visible that would directly reveal the specific cause of their assembly; however, given historical context and internet search results for "anti Springbok," it is likely they were protesting against South Africa’s apartheid regime.

![The black and white photograph depicts a group of individuals gathered closely together, suggesting they may be part of an event or demonstration. In the foreground, there is one person wearing a helmet and another with long hair in profile view beside them. Behind these two figures are several others who appear to be observing something off-camera.
One individual stands out due to their distinct facial expressions; someone seated appears distressed while those standing have serious expressions on their faces. The attire of the group varies, including jackets, scarves, and beanies which suggests that it may be a cold day or during autumn/winter season. There's an overall impression of solidarity among this diverse crowd.
In terms of context provided by text, the image is related to Anti-Springbok tour demonstrations. The Springboks were South Africa’s national rugby team at one point; thus, protests against them could be linked to apartheid policies or racial discrimination in sports during that era. This photograph captures a moment from such a social and political movement.

![The image depicts a group of people, likely demonstrators or activists, gathered outside during what appears to be an event related to South Africa's controversial decision to host the 1985 World Rugby Championships. Four individuals are prominently featured in the foreground; they wear winter coats and scarves indicative of cold weather conditions.
On the left, two men stand with smiles on their faces, one wearing a knit cap and another sporting sunglasses under his hat. The middle figure is holding what seems to be an open booklet or pamphlet and has a camera around her neck, suggesting she may have been documenting events leading up to this moment. On the right stands a woman in protective gear—a hard hat with ear protection—and appears ready for physical interaction, possibly indicating she was involved in direct confrontation during demonstrations.
Behind these individuals are more participants partially visible; some wear similar winter attire while others sport scarves and beanies. The background features part of a building that could be significant to the context but is mostly obscured by the group's presence. A banner or sign with text above them, though not legible in this description, hints at slogans related to anti-apartheid sentiment.
