Meteorologist Karl Bohnak Fired After Refusing To Get Vaccinated Against COVID-19

"It is my right to choose," the longtime weather forecaster wrote on Facebook, adding that he decided "not to risk serious side effects."
WLUC TV6 meteorologist Karl Bohnak said he was fired for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine as mandated by his employer, joining other media figures who have also declined the jab.
“Many of you have taken one of these injections, and that is absolutely your right. It is also my right to choose the medical options I feel are right for me. I have authority over my body,” Bohnak, who spent more than three decades at the Michigan NBC affiliate, wrote in a lengthy Facebook post on Sept. 15.
Bohnak compared getting inoculated to buying car brakes without a liability guarantee. He also framed his plight as a personal rights issue, referring to the “abrogation of our liberty and freedom under the guise of a pandemic.”
