I had a home in Redding from 1989 to 2003 but actually lived there less than half that time as also lived/worked in Portland, Corvallis, and Humboldt during the same time period. I'm old and decrepit and live in my county of origin, Humboldt, now.

Hundreds Attend Redding Protest Against State-Mandated Vaccines
Posted on August 11, 2021 by Doni Chamberlain and Patricia Graves
Monday afternoon hundreds of people converged upon the intersection outside Mercy Medical Center in Reddings triple-digit heat to voice their disapproval of a recent state-mandated vaccine requirement for healthcare workers.
The rally was attended by people of all ages, from senior citizens sitting in lawn chairs in the shade, to a father with an infant in a front pack. The multitudes represented a cross section of healthcare occupations, joined by their family, friends and supporters.
The rally offered viewpoints on other topics, such as masks. One little boy held a sign while perched upon the shoulders of a man with a beard, sunglasses and a baseball cap.
I dont co-parent with the government, said the boys sign. Unmask your kids.
The majority of protesters were women, many of whom wore scrubs.
The vaccine order that went into effect Thursday instigated protests throughout California, similar to Reddings. California Gov. Gavin Newsome tweeted the news on Aug. 5, including the deadline, that healthcare workers have until Sept. 30 to comply.
