Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves area was confronted by hundreds of protesters when he arrived in parliament Thursday afternoon, with crowds protesting the bill that would force vaccination across the Caribbean nation. Gonsalves' office confirmed in a statement that he was "physically assaulted and injured by opposition protesters while attempting to enter the House of Assembly." A protester managed to throw a large stone or brick at the prime minister, wounding him a little above the temple and began to bleed profusely, having to be taken to the hospital. His son Camilo Gonzales, who is also finance minister (a family government …) added that his father will be taken to Barbados for investigation. In the meantime, the protests against the obligation to vaccinate have continued
