A longtime Mississippi news anchor has been ousted from her job after refusing to get the COVID vaccine.
Last Thursday, Meggan Gray, 40, signed off from Good Morning Mississippi by saying 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.
'And I just felt that I owed it to you… to take a moment while I had an opportunity to say thank you for allowing me into your homes for the past several years,' she said, visibly choking up as she spoke.
