At the end of July, the Vermont State Supreme Court issued a decision on a lawsuit brought by parents whose grade-school child had been injected with a dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ against their will. According to the school, the six-year-old was inoculated in error, for which they apologized, but the parents sued them anyway. Last month, Vermont’s highest Court dismissed the case.
“We conclude that the PREP Act immunizes every defendant in this case and this fact alone is enough to dismiss the case,” the court’s ruling continues. “Plaintiffs’ arguments about preemption are misplaced, and therefore we need not decide today the extent of the PREP Act’s preemptive effect.
As has been repeatedly and incorrectly reported, the Court did not give schools in Vermont the right to stick kids with whatever they want without regard for a parent’s wishes. It threw out a case based on its interpretation of a specific instance of legal protection.
“To avoid dismissal on immunity grounds, plaintiffs would have had to present well-pleaded allegations showing that (1) at least one defendant was not a covered person, (2) some conduct by a defendant was not causally related to administering a covered countermeasure, (3) the substance injected into L.P. was not a covered countermeasure, or (4) there was no PREP Act declaration in effect at the time L.P. was injected.”
The Court, in this case, is not concerned with efficacy, need, risk, intention, consent, rights, or any other factor. In their view, right or wrong, the law leaves the parent no standing to sue.

It did, however, open up the possibility that schools will, in the future, abuse the opportunity presented to them by the verdict. PREP is predicated on the imposition of a public health emergency. If 2020 taught us anything (aside from riots being permissible outdoor activity), it is that given the opportunity to do something tyrannical, your government is ready and willing to do exactly that. Most schools have a required vaccine schedule, and most parents, though fewer now than before the covid circus, are far too trusting. They will accept the path of least resistance, which is why public schools continue to exist, given how poor their product is.
Parents hoping for something better must begin at the ballot box, petition the legislature, and try to pass a state law that gives them priority. This is Vermont. Good luck with that.
