Anti-vaccination protesters clashed with police in London on Friday as some tried to storm the offices of the UK regulator that approves vaccines, with police saying four officers were hurt.
The latest protest, comprising hundreds of demonstrators who massed at several sites through the afternoon, comes after anti-vaxxers previously targeted UK television broadcasters’ offices.
A livestream of the demonstration showed protesters trying to push past a police cordon to enter the office of the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency), which was the world’s first regulator to approve a coronavirus vaccine for public rollout in December last year.
They later moved towards central London and gathered outside the Science Museum, where police appeared to clash with the demonstrators and make arrests.
