14-year news anchor fired for refusing COVID vaccine: I lost my job, but 'preserved my integrity'

President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate has been stalled as the Labor Department tries to figure out a way to make it workable. In the meantime, Biden is doing his part by pressuring private companies to force their employees to get COVID-19 vaccines -- no matter what their reason is for hesitancy.

"I’ve spoken with Scott Kirby, the CEO of United Airlines, who’s here today. United went from 59 percent of their employees to 99 percent of their employees in less than two months after implementing the requirement. Ninety-nine percent," Biden said at a speech in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, on Thursday, according to a White House transcript.

"In the last days of their implementation, they cut the remaining number of employees left to get vaccinated in half. They went from 67,000 United employees to 66 -- of 67,000, 66,800 complied. People chose to get vaccinated," he continued. "That’s why we’re seeing more companies signing up."

Biden got in a chuckle: "Even — this I always get a kick out of — Fox News. Fox News requires vaccinations for all employees. Give me a break. Fox News."

My guess is that Joe Biden isn't laughing so much at the case of Meggan Gray, a news anchor on WLOX-TV in Biloxi, Mississippi. The station is owned by Gray Television, which mandated its employees take the COVID vaccine by Oct. 1. She made the decision not to -- and, on Sept. 30, she bid farewell to the people she'd served for 14 years as co-host of "Good Morning Mississippi."

According to the U.K. Daily Mail, Gray said she wanted "to take a moment and let you know that I honestly do not know what the future holds for me as far as my career here at WLOX."

Stay strong young lady. Can't say for sure but according to Tucker last night, 'lets go brandon' lied again and Tucker said there is no requirement at foxnoose for being vaxxed. Yet, anyway. Since OSHA has still not issued a 'safety in the work place' rule concerning the vax at this time, why isn't someone suing the crap out of someone? Would it not have to be in the federal register for a certain time? Will public comment be allowed? Would public comment be round filed instantly if in opposition to the rule?

I might add to the thinking gal - I also preserved my health and maybe my life.

Gray Television should be boycotted.

Kid has no future as a news anchor if he keeps that up.

:-} We never considered it even when it was in the thin air talking/hoping/dreaming phase. We don’t do flu shots either. No political or religious reason, we just chose not to. Guess, according to ‘brandon’, we’re unpatriotic, uncaring, stoopid, miscreants. Maybe even killers or domestic terrorists.

Tucker says that’s not true.

In order to sue, one must be capable of showing an adverse “damaging” effect. How does one show one has been damaged by a rule that has yet to be enacted?

Meggan , a news anchor on WLOX-TV in Biloxi, Mississippi. The station is owned by Gray Television,

She didn't marry into the name, so I wonder if she is part of the family who owns the station?

According to Tucker Carlson, on last night’s show, FOX DOES NOT REQUIRE VACCINATIONS. Another lie from Luunchbucket Joey Bidet.

Bad headline phrasing. She’s not a 14 year old kid, she’s been the anchor for 14 years.

Nearly missed it in the video since ‘brandon’ went in to his cute ‘whisper mode’ to say it. OMG what have those people done to this country. Guess as long as it isn’t Orange Man Bad, they don’t care. And they don’t. They’ll just take their shot and boosters, mask up and be quiet.

If you were to be terminated based on a non existent rule? Sorta sound like no grounds for termination other than “Because I said so!”

Agreed and if the companies require this gene therapy they are liable for damages to employees forced to get it. There is no federal order for them touse as aan excuse. And it looks like the unions are getting into the act. States need to start stepping up, like texas. i’m surprised by abbott. he ususally follows rarely leads.
