Thank God there was no harm to the child. Disturbingly though, even if the child had died, there would have been no legal recourse unless plaintiff could prove "wilful misconduct."
Just another stain on the political (sewer) situation in Vermont. It's great state to live with very good people. The politics are driven by those that have need to control everything. We are a test ground for the the BS trying to be imposed on the rest of the country. It feels very similar to the Independence Revolution. Only a few were actually involved in the the revolt, however it morphed into a movement for the entire colonies........
If there's anything positive in this insane ruling it's that it will drive even more parents to take their children out of public schools. The same way the censorship in the corporate media has driven so many people to Substack and other independent media. The same way the atrocious medical system has driven people to alternative health sources. Or driven people from urban to rural. There's hope in the insanity going on.
Thanks for explaining more about this important decision in your article! I wonder if they can appeal to SCOTUS? The real issue is if the PREP Act was intended to allow administrators the ability to coerce and force private citizens to take medical treatment against their will. I can understand that administrators would be covered if the citizens willfully took the treatment but then changed their minds after the fact. However, this situation is much different: the citizen (student's legal guardian) did not willfully agree to the experimental treatment beforehand.
This is the nose of the Camel ! What will be the next Constitutionally protected right these rogue Supremes will take from us. It is an outrageous attack on our right to choose and a direct threat to the health of the children.
You write there was no ill effect to the child…… WE DONT KNOW THAT YET!!!! There could very well be future negative consequences for that poor boy!
Also, in comparison with tobacco, no one held a child down and made him smoke cigarettes.
This is SO outrageous!
There should be a special place in hell for who ever manhandled that boy!

This is a travesty. Yet another stain on both Vermont jurisprudence and George W Bush's PREP Act.
What use is Bill of Rights if it can be preempted by a manufactured emergency? The PREP Act needs to be struck down.
Any hope for SCOTUS to take it up under 1st, 4th or 14th Amendment violation?
Much hope..... You know I won't let it languish without a challenge if I can help it! :)
Yes, it's indeed insane! We're getting closer and closer to what Hayek once described as a dystopian socialist future and slavery:

Insane is the operative word.

I went to bed before Covid and thought I had rights, and I woke up after Covid and realized they were all privileges.

In fact that’s assault with a deadly weapon in my book!
