The protocols that govern film and TV production in the COVID era have been extended yet again, this time to Feb. 13, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said Monday. The rules …

, and they allow productions to impose a vaccine mandate — although only for actors and other workers who are on set. Workers who are not in “Zone A” — the set — are not subject to a vaccine mandate.

The protocols were initially set to expire on Sept. 30, but have been extended repeatedly as COVID case rates remained high. The latest extension, which was reached in late December, pushed the expiration date from Jan. 15 to Feb. 13. Further negotiations are expected to take place in early February, but with cases still near all-time highs, it seems likely that the protocols will be extended again.

Anti-vaccine activists march in D.C. — a city that mandates covid vaccines — to protest mandatesOrganizers had estimated that 20,000 people would attend the rally, marching from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. A smaller crowd of several thousand had arrived on the Mall by early Sunday afternoon. (via The Washington Post) Anti-vaxxers are anti-America. Pure and simple.
