A U.S. appeals court has upheld the dismissal of a complaint that alleged the University of California (UC) system’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate violated a professor’s constitutional rights.
Dr. Aaron Kheriaty sued the university because it refused to grant permanent exemptions to its mandate to people who had recovered from COVID-19 and thus have natural immunity, a form of protection against reinfection and severe disease. Kheriaty was suspended at the time and has since been fired.
