Why a law professor is suing his university over their vaccine mandate

Law professor Todd Zywicki explains in the Wall Street Journal why he's suing his employer over their vaccine mandate:

"In a few weeks I will begin my 24th year as a law professor at George Mason University. Last year I volunteered to teach in person, even though I’m in my 50s. Teaching law is my job and I owe my students my best. I also knew I could do it safely. During the spring of 2020 I contracted and recovered from Covid-19, which I later confirmed through a positive antibody test. Multiple positive antibody tests have since confirmed that I continue to have a robust level of immune protection."

Nothing more anti-science and arbitrary than mandating vaccines for individuals who’ve already had COVID-19. https://t.co/vHkqIcC9CA

Zywicki then explains why it is "unnecessary and potentially risky" for him to take the vaccine.

"But now my employer, a state institution, is requiring Covid vaccines. In my case, vaccination is unnecessary and potentially risky. My only other options are to teach remotely or to seek a medical exemption that would require me to wear a mask, remain socially distanced from faculty or students during, say, office hours, and submit to weekly testing."

"It would be impossible for me to perform my duties to the best of my ability under such conditions. The administration has threatened those who don’t submit with disciplinary action, including termination of employment."
