Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has announced an investigation into a Midwestern school that vaccinated a child against the wishes of their parents. This happened repeatedly at schools across America during the pandemic. It was one of the greatest crimes that the COVIDians committed against families. Kennedy’s investigation marks a dramatic shift in public health policy. For the first time, HHS is now acting in defense of the most basic parental rights.
The answer to the question seems obvious. Do public schools have the right to forcibly inject your child with a vaccine without your permission as a parent?
Kennedy says the answer is “No!” It doesn’t matter if it’s a school, a daycare, or any other setting. When you entrust your child’s care to another entity, that entity is obligated to obey your wishes when it comes to any medical treatments administered to your child. It’s a violation of trust, parental rights, and bodily autonomy to ignore the wishes of parents.
Unfortunately, schools and many state court systems don’t see it the same way.
In the fall of 2021, the Academy School in the Windham Southeast School District in Vermont held a COVID vaccination clinic. Dario and Shujen Politella informed the school verbally and in writing that they did not want their 6-year-old son to receive a COVID shot.
On the day of the shot clinic, the little boy was made to line up with the rest of his classmates. When it was his turn, he told the school employees and the nurse that his daddy didn’t want him to get a shot. A school employee then distracted him with a stuffed animal, and the nurse stabbed him in the arm with a dose of Pfizer juice.
The parents sued the school and the case went all the way to the Vermont Supreme Court. The high court ruled against them. The decision further stated that schools can face no liability if they forcibly inject a child with any vaccine. The ruling totally destroyed parental rights and medical rights in Vermont, and that still stands to this day.
In August 2021, 14-year-old Tanner Smith had joined the football team at Western Guilford High School in North Carolina. The school sent out a notice to families that one of Tanner’s teammates might have been exposed to COVID, so they were going to conduct tests on all the players. The notice said nothing about administering COVID shots to the players.
When Tanner showed up, he was surprised to learn that the school was giving all his teammates the jabs. He informed them that his parents would not consent to him getting a shot. He also told them that he didn’t want a shot.
“Give it to him anyway,” stated one of the jerks running the clinic. They forcibly stabbed him in the arm with a dose of Pfizer juice, against his wishes and the wishes of his parents.
The parents sued the school, but the lower courts dismissed the case. However, the North Carolina Supreme Court overruled the lower courts. The case is still ongoing. The Smiths are suing on the grounds that the school committed battery against Tanner and violated his constitutional rights.
So, America has dueling state supreme court rulings on this issue. Vermont says parents have no rights when it comes to the medical care of their children, while North Carolina says they do. The US Supreme Court will likely have to settle this once and for all.
In the meantime, RFK, Jr., says this is a no-brainer. HHS did not announce which Midwestern school has been placed under investigation. However, the parents had a religious exemption for their child, and religious exemptions are perfectly legal in that state. The school allegedly ignored that religious exemption and vaccinated a child against the express wishes of the parents.
HHS is stepping in to investigate because the vaccine was provided to the school by the CDC through a federal vaccination program. The HHS Office for Civil Rights will be investigating whether the school violated the rules of that program.
