A George Mason University law professor is suing the school over its vaccine mandate, arguing that he has already acquired immunity after recovering from COVID-19 and therefore shouldn’t have to be vaccinated.

Todd Zywicki, who is about to begin his 24th year teaching at George Mason in Virginia, said he contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus in spring 2020. He has taken multiple positive antibody tests since his recovery, and the tests suggested a high level of immune protection against the virus, he said.
