Protests, not riots. And there are protests all the time whenever a controversial decision is made, it's our national sport. Another confounding factor is the very aggressive calendar set up, where due to the span between the doses not everyone has a way to be fully vaccinated before the measure is active.

It is an endearing habit; but to be fair, some of those protests can look a bit "riotey", what with the smoke bombs, water cannon, paramilitary cops with batons etc ...
Americans talk a good game when it comes to riots but if they took their rhetoric about "watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants" seriously every election would wind up with the Capitol looking like it did on January 6th.
