Our partners at NBC 5 tell us that on Friday afternoon, protesters gathered outside Baylor Scott & White along Highway 380 in McKinney​.

They say that President Biden's mandate that forces private employers, to require COVID-19 vaccinations is unconstitutional.

Under Biden's proposed mandate, any private company with more than 100 employees would have to require all of their workers to either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to weekly testing.

Baylor Scott & White says that it supports free speech.

In a statement, the hospital system says that it's dealing with the rising number of COVID-19 patients and that it encouraged people to be vaccinated to prevent serious illness.
