Participants at a shaw park rally held signs expressing their views, ranging from outright COVID denial to opposition to mask and vaccine mandates.
On Friday, October 1st, at 12:00 PM, organizers from various groups opposed to what they described as a “vaccine mandate” held a rally urging the Governor of Missouri to opt out of the mandate, referencing the proposed OSHA regulation that would require vaccination or weekly testing for businesses over a hundred employees announced by U.S. President Joe Biden on September 9th.
