The North Carolina Supreme court, along party lines, ruled that a mother’s lawsuit against her son’s school district and the doctors who ran a covid testing a shot clinic after he was given a covid shot without parental permission.
Smith went to the clinic to be tested for COVID-19 after a cluster of cases occurred among his school’s football team. He did not expect the clinic would be providing vaccines as well, according to the litigation. Smith told workers he didn’t want a vaccination, and he lacked a signed parental consent form to get one. When the clinic was unable to reach his mother, a worker instructed another to “give it to him anyway,” Happel and Smith allege in legal briefs.
Happel and Smith sued the Guilford County Board of Education and an organization of physicians who helped operate the school clinic, alleging claims of battery and that their constitutional rights were violated.
Both the school and the ‘doctors’ are claiming immunity under the federal PREP act which was passed in 2013 and invoked in 2020. This act gave pretty broad ‘qualified immunity’ to pretty much everybody.
Like any broad immunity, can be used to run roughshod over the populace without worrying about reprisal. Which basically sets up a framework for tyranny.
Considering the fact that many Constitutional protections were put on hold under the aegis of this the PREP act we can only hope that this immunity that was so broadly overused can be overturned and that petty tyrants get some comeupance.
