Nurses, dozens of others protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates in Logan

"That came about just because I believe everybody has a choice to do what they want with themselves," said Misty Best, an ER nurse who helped organize the rally. "So I feel like it's not necessarily about the vaccine but the choice to get it or not."
