A request to block Michigan State University’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate based on natural immunity was denied by a federal judge.
Jeanna Norris, a university employee, sued against the mandate since she already had the virus and recovered. She presented two antibody tests to MSU that showed her previous infection, and said her doctors told her that she did not need the vaccine.
The university’s mandate states that all students and staff, unless they have a medical or religious exemption, must get vaccinated or face termination.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio refuses to reimburse taxpayers for nearly $320,000 spent on police security detail during his failed 2019 presidential run, The City reported.
Department of Investigation Commissioner Margaret Garnett released a scathing report Thursday that detailed de Blasio’s use of “NYPD resources for political purposes,” The City said.
“The campaign or the mayor personally should have reimbursed the city for those expenses,” Garnett said, citing city Conflicts of Interest Board (COIB) rulings strictly prohibiting the use of city resources for political purposes.
De Blasio said he had no intention of reimbursing the city.
