Breast cancer patient punched and insulted by activists protesting clinic’s mask policy

A breast cancer patient says she was physically assaulted and verbally abused outside a treatment centre in West Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Far-right activists who were angry over the clinic’s mandatory mask policy gathered outside the Cedars-Sinai Breast Health Services building on Thursday and harassed patients and doctors, reports Vice.

Kate Burns, a patient at the centre, approached the group and told them to leave. The exchange was caught on camera by a local videographer and posted on Twitter.
