Back in the heady COVID days of 2021— which some may prefer remains in the rearview mirror but which justice demands does not — public schools across the nation went on an injection spree of the kids in their custody, often against the explicit instructions of the children and, more importantly, their parents.

They largely got away with their transgressions by hiding behind the obscene carte blanche authority granted to them by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, signed into law by nominal conservative George W. Bush in 2005, that functions as a “a controversial tort liability shield intended to protect pharmaceutical manufacturers from financial risk in the event of a declared public health emergency”:
The act specifically affords to drug makers immunity from actions related to the manufacture, testing, development, distribution, administration and use of medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents of terrorism, epidemics, and pandemics.
Although it received precious little attention in 2005, the Act set the framework by which the Public Health™ authorities exercised near-totalitarian control during the pandemic.
The North Carolina Supreme Court finally got around to weighing in on one such case after years of litigation in lower courts.
Via The Carolina Journal (emphasis added):
The North Carolina Supreme Court split, 5-2, in allowing a Guilford County teenager and his mother to pursue a forced COVID-19 vaccination lawsuit against the school system and the Old North State Medical Society.
The decision Friday reversed lower court rulings against Tanner Smith and his mother, Emily Happel.
The state Supreme Court's Republican justices agreed that a federal law did not protect the school system and medical society from legal liability. Democratic justices dissented.
Is anyone surprised the “Democratic” justices would object to parents having a say-so in their kids’ medical protocols?

Let’s feign shock.
The clinic worker who injected the kid at the center of the case, Tanner Smith, reportedly quipped “give it to him anyway” after being informed that the clinic did not have proper authorization to inject the minor, signifying willful subversion of the parent’s rightful authority.
Continuing:
Tanner Smith was 14 when he was forcibly vaccinated at a Guilford high school in 2021. Smith and mother Emily Happel argued in court that a clinic worker from the medical society administered the COVID vaccine against the teen’s will and without parental consent.
Over Smith’s protests, the unnamed clinic worker is alleged to have said, “Give it to him anyway.”
Lower courts have ruled that the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act protected both the school system and the medical society from legal liability.
In a sane world where Congress wasn’t coerced or bribed into granting sweeping legal immunity to the manufacturers of dangerous experimental drugs that were then forced upon a (largely) unwilling population in order to work or go to school, the clinic worker who did this would be on trial for, at the very least, child endangerment.
