A 55-year-old law professor at George Mason University who has been fighting the university’s COVID-19 vaccine policy in court received a medical exemption from the university and will not need to be vaccinated. Todd Zywicki contended that he has recovered from COVID-19, giving him “robust natural immunity” that made vaccination medically unnecessary. But the university granted him an exemption for other medical reasons, not because of previous infection or any natural immunity.
