BAKERSFIELD, Calif. Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader, was in an uncharacteristically dark place. It was after the Capitol siege of Jan. 6, and he was getting pounded from all sides.

As soon as Justin Perez left the vaccination clinic, his phone buzzed with a text message.
A former co-worker had heard a hot rumor about a clinic where anyone, even young people like them, could get a COVID-19 vaccine. The clinic was in Bakersfield.
“I am in Bakersfield,” texted Perez, a 35-year-old video designer from Sherman Oaks, confirming the rumor. “I got injected 20 minutes ago.”
Cal State Bakersfield has been the go-to vaccination site for the young and the healthy from Los Angeles County for more than a week, ever since word spread that the facility had more doses than patients thousands more and no restrictions on age, eligibility or county of residency. Some vaccine seekers have been writers, engineers and Hollywood actors, who said the site was welcoming Angelenos with open arms.
