Meet the Nurse Leading the Fight Against Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccinations

Jennifer Bridges, a nurse at Houston Methodist Hospital, has emerged as a leader among those unwilling to get their shots. She recently opposed the hospital’s decision to mandate vaccines for all employees. However, her critics say the facility has a right to make sure its staff is vaccinated against COVID-19.
