TV anchor, meteorologists quit over vaccine mandate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A news anchor on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and a meteorologist in Nebraska are among a handful of Gray Television employees to relinquish their jobs instead of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

An 18-year employee, Meggan Gray gave up her co-hosting role on WLOX-TV's "Good Morning Mississippi" last Thursday, a day before a mandate to be fully immunized took effect on October 1, according to a local newspaper, the Sun Herald.

The Biloxi-based station's parent, Gray Television, was requiring all employees, guests, contractors and tenants to be fully vaccinated against the virus, Gray posted on Facebook. "I tried everything possible to keep my job, including offering to be tested on a weekly basis. My requests were denied," she wrote.

"I may have lost my job, but I preserved my integrity," she added.

1. "I may have lost my job, but I could also get sick and die"What did she win?

7. If Only That Were True

Plenty of unvaccinated people never contract the virus, and even when they do, plenty of them survive.

18. And we will never hear the end of it.... "It was bad, but just like a bad case of the flu."

"Glad I didn't get that vaccine... I heard it makes your butt fall off."

21. No she's skinny. Young but she was still can catch it

Of course you can't fix stupid. And that she's caught a long time ago.

4. Gray TV is like Sinclair

Right wing operation.

[riversedge]

5. bye bye.

[rurallib]

6. "I tried everything possible to keep my job"

But apparently she didn't try getting vaccinated.

When she is broke after contracting covid and doesn't have insurance, that integrity won't mean much.

8. Oh my God I was interviewed by that idiot once.

When my first book came out I did a tour on the coast (it was based in Pascagoula, down the road from Biloxi). I went on that morning show and so help me God they sat me down during a commercial on the set with her, she looked me dead in the eye and said “I didn’t read your book…” in her drawl as she checked her makeup, and 3…2…1…we’re on! Fortunately I knew what it was about even if she didn’t give af.

I’m in full schadenfreude mode right now.

11. Great story! I think Darwin will strike this one soon. nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. LOL! I envy your schadenfreude!

Thanks for sharing!

22. "I didn't read your book"

“That’s OK, it wasn’t written for an audience of vacuous nitwits.”


If only, eh?

[nolabear]

26. I'm not dumb. Of course she didn't read it.

But c’mon, cliff notes? A couple of questions or hints about what she’d ask? She clearly enjoyed it. And I’m clearly enjoying this. 😃

9. She can get a job at Fox. Oh no, she cant because even they all have to be vaccinated LOL

[Goodheart]

10. That'll show the libs!

[milestogo]

13. Where can you co-host morning television at the age of 18?

Mississippi, I guess. No journalism degree needed.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. She's been working there for 18 years

Article says nothing about her age.

[milestogo]

20. "An 18-year employee"

I see, that does make more sense.

[tanyev]

15. OK, then.

[3catwoman3]

19. My first thought, too.

I saw a brief clip of an anaesthesiologist from somewhere in California who left his job, and stated that he was willing to give up anything, even his life, for this “cause” - one of those, “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it,” scenarios.

24. This guy?

He’s a Q nut.

[3catwoman3]

25. That's the guy.

Jackass. I wouldn't let him anywhere near me with anaesthetic gasses.

16. "I may have lost my job, but I preserved my integrity," she added.

[viva la]

23. These are jobs others covet

I think they will regret this stupid decision.
