North Carolina Rules That Families Can Sue OVER COVID Vaccine

Source: MSN, Fox

A North Carolina family sued over a COVID-19 vaccine given without consent.

The mother and son sued a North Carolina public school system and a doctors’ group for allegedly giving her son a COVID-19 vaccine without consent.

Smith was vaccinated in August 2021 at age 14 at a Guilford County high school testing and vaccination clinic. He didn’t want a vaccination and didn’t have a signed parental consent form.

When the clinic couldn’t reach his mother, a worker instructed a colleague to give him the vaccine anyway.

Happel and Smith filed the lawsuit against the Guilford County Board of Education and the Old North State Medical Society. They accused the school district and physicians’ group of battery and claimed their constitutional rights were violated.

Background Ruling: In March 2020, an emergency declaration due to COVID-19 activated the federal law’s immunity provisions, as noted by the state’s high court. Last year, an appeals court ruled unanimously that the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act shielded the school district and physicians’ group from liability.

The state Supreme Court ruled Friday that a federal health emergency law prevented Emily Happel and her son Tanner Smith from filing a lawsuit.

New Ruling: Chief Justice Paul Newby ruled that the law didn’t prevent the mother and son from suing for alleged state constitution violations, such as parental control and the right to refuse forced medical treatment.

The court’s majority concluded that the law’s immunity only covers tort injuries, not constitutional violations.

Conservative justices supported Newby’s opinion, including two who suggested narrowing the federal law’s immunity further.
