Three CSU Chico students are suing their school over the California State University system’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement.
They all claim they contracted COVID-19, recovered from the virus and now have natural antibodies against it, so they say getting the vaccine would place them at risk of dying. Dorit Reiss is a vaccine law expert and says she expects more lawsuits to come, and she does believe it's important for the courts to weigh in on the boundaries for these vaccine mandates being considered by schools, workplaces, and businesses.
But, she also points to a strong history of the courts upholding mandates and deferring to public health in this area.
