It’s the last place you’d expect to see one of those “my body, my choice” protests reneging against the life-saving COVID vaccines. But there they were, on Cloverdale Avenue near Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center on Saturday, about 45 people protesting the medical center’s decision to require its employees to be fully vaccinated. Some claimed to be employees of the medical center, the Journal’s John Hinton reported. Their arguments were presented concisely on placards: “Stop the Mandate,” “No Covid Vax Mandates,” and “Jab or Job — Where Are Our Rights?” You wouldn’t think it would be much of an ask for educated, experienced medical professionals, many of whom, we would assume, have seen the ravages of COVID up close. And, indeed, Wake Forest Baptist officials say that 75% of its workforce — more than 19,000 employees — has already been fully vaccinated.
