Sarah Palin Tests Positive for Coronavirus After Flouting NYC Vaccination Requirement

HeadlineJan 25, 2022

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said Monday she has tested positive for coronavirus. Palin’s announcement prompted a U.S. district judge in New York to delay the start of Palin’s defamation trial against The New York Times, which was set to begin on Monday. Palin has refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19, telling a conservative conference last month, “It will be over my dead body that I’ll have to get a shot.” The New York Times reports that on Saturday Palin dined indoors at Elio’s Italian restaurant in Manhattan despite a city ordinance requiring customers to provide proof of vaccination.
