Klar: Vermont Supreme Court sacrifices children to big pharma

Rules no liability even for experimental shots administered against parental wishes

by John Klar

A controversial Vermont Supreme Court decision reached the rather astonishing conclusion that the government can vaccinate very young children with experimental products without parental consent or legal recourse. The ruling is surreal in a state that claims it prizes individual liberties. If not overturned by sane minds in the US Supreme Court, the consequences of this shortsighted, simplistic opinion may prove profound for American civil rights law. 

Dario Politella and Shujen Politella v. Windham Southeast School District et al. concerned a young child who was administered a COVID-19 vaccination despite his parents’ prior communication to their local public school that he was not to be vaccinated. The boy told workers his parents objected, but they distracted him with a stuffed animal and administered the jab.

Immunizing the Government – from Children’s Rights

The Vermont Supreme Court ruled that the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act immunized school officials from “all state-law claims…as a matter of law.” The Court did not address state or federal constitutional privacy protections or bodily autonomy, merely swallowing these paramount individual rights in a perverse, all-entrusting servitude to federal preemption by an omnipotent administrative state.

Particularly callous toward parents whose children might be vaccinated – or vaccine-injured – by negligent or incompetent medical care was the Politella Court’s construction of the PREP Act to extinguish informed consent protections for minors, despite the Act lacking any such stated intent. To rub salt in this civil rights wound, the Court interpreted federal PREP Act preemption (and thus immunity) to include even experimental vaccines, regardless of efficacy, future vaccine injury, or a balancing of potential benefits versus harms to children.

The Court reasoned that, because “[t]he ‘sole exception’ to the PREP Act’s grant of immunity is a federal cause of action against a covered person whose ‘willful misconduct’ causes ‘death or serious physical injury,” plaintiffs’ cause of action required a showing of one of four possibilities that would exempt them from the Act’s vaccine-litigation shield: 1) a defendant wasn’t covered; 2) a defendant’s conduct “was not causally related to administering a covered countermeasure” (that is, a medical or other PREP-protected person did something other than give a shot); 3) the injected substance was not covered by the Act; or 4) the PREP Act declaration had expired.

This construction of federal law allowed the Court to dismiss the Vermont parents’ concerns that the vaccine they asked not to be given to their young son was experimental, concluding that even a poison vaccine would still merit congressional protection under #2 above: 

“Despite plaintiffs’ arguments to the contrary, they have alleged only tortious conduct that is causally related to the administration of the vaccine to [their son].

“Plaintiffs characterize the Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine as “experimental,” but they do not dispute that [their son] was injected with the Pfizer vaccine. Nor do they dispute that the Pfizer vaccine is a covered countermeasure.” 

Translation: The Vermont Supreme Court construes evidence that clearly proves that an approved vaccine is experimental, harmful, ineffective, or even deliberately designed to inflict illness (so long as it does not result in death or ‘serious physical injury’) to defeat any claim because all of these factual allegations confirm a ‘covered’ shot was administered, which bars all claims short of planned genocide.

Upending Child Protection Ethics

This decision reverses a century of medical ethics, concluding that PREP Act immunity also extends to children separated (negligently or deliberately, the latter only being actionable if death or serious injury results) from their parents and denied long-standing parental informed consent protections. A 2023 review of academic literature concluded:

“Ethical challenges can arise when vaccines are mandated for all ages, but they increase significantly when mandated for children…

“Children are less susceptible to COVID-19; the disease severity in children is mild, and the potential benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine are low, so mandating vaccines is untenable…

“Mandates imply coercion, which might agitate the reaction towards COVID-19 vaccination and increase anti-vaccination attitudes among the public.”

The nonprofit Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law harshly condemned the decision:

“Informed consent is a foundational ethical principle in medical practice, requiring patients or their guardians to be fully informed about and voluntarily agree to medical procedures. This principle is especially crucial in the context of vaccinations, which are preventative measures administered to healthy individuals. The Vermont Supreme Court’s decision effectively reverses this principle by placing the burden on parents to proactively send refusals of permission to schools.”

The decision is far worse than this: post-Politella, proactively sending parental refusals provides zero legal or medical protection for schoolchildrenVaccine hesitancy has been seeded by government disinformation, coercion, and speech infringements. Here, it is being amplified by Kafkian bureaucratic blather about how the federal government is unfettered by the inalienable Bill of Rights that the Vermont Supreme Court flushed down the jurisprudential outhouse.

A Not-So-Brave New Vermont World?

This dreadful ruling seeds moral hazards with zero accountability: if children are now denied informed medical consent, by what path are uninformed adults to bypass PREP Act preemption? Forced jabs, injection by deception, fraudulent vaccine claims, proof of unethical monetary kickbacks – all of these would merely prove to Vermont’s brain-trust Supreme Court that the Act’s bad actor shields were fully in force.

China required vaccination for school attendance, but “China’s top health authorities…said that while people should be encouraged to get jabbed, the decision would be left to them.” During the pandemic, Russian President Vladimir Putin proclaimed, “In my opinion, it is counterproductive and unnecessary to introduce mandatory vaccinations…” The Biden Administration unconstitutionally attempted to mandate vaccines for healthcare workers; Vermont’s Court is saying government actors can administer them however they want, with zero recourse unless people die.

That is decidedly upside-down in a state that prizes bodily autonomy for abortion, though consistent with Vermont’s trans-sanctuary state status and laws providing minors with gender ‘affirming’ hormones without parental consent or knowledge – what’s a little Pfizer shot when Big Pharma already has an exclusive government monopoly on the nation’s children?

The seminal case in US Constitutional law addressing vaccine mandates is Jacobson v Massachusetts, a 1905 decision affirming a state’s power to compel citizens to obtain a smallpox vaccine or pay a $5 fine. Jacobson explicitly acknowledged Constitutional guarantees swallowed whole by the Vermont Supreme Court’s astonishing 2024 deference to the PREP ACT as the highest law of the land:

“A local enactment or regulation, even if based on the acknowledged police powers of a State, must always yield in case of conflict with the exercise by the General Government of any power it possesses under the Constitution, or with any right which that instrument gives or secures.”

This embarrassing Vermont decision will likely reach the United States Supremes, who are versed in the fundamental human liberties flippantly ignored by Vermont’s highest court. If this vaccine-cult decision stands, parental distrust of vaccines will extend to ‘public-school hesitancy’ – why send a child to a school that has almost no legal accountability for its actions? The only way to protect American children’s basic human rights would then be to keep them out of public school…

Or send them to China or Russia.

  1. Moscow’s Patriarchal Commission states:

    Parents should retain the right to make informed decisions regarding the health of their children, including preventive vaccinations, without being subjected to any pressure. Persecution of parents for the use of this right is unacceptable.

    Parents should not be compelled in any way to state the reasons on which their choices are based. The fact of medical intervention or refusal of it should remain a medical secret protected by law.

    The right of children to education, including the possibility of studying in educational institutions, should not be limited because their parents refused to carry out preventive vaccinations for them, except in cases where there is the occurrence of mass infectious diseases or the immediate threat of epidemics.

    Parents should be able to make their own decisions, independently receiving and evaluating various information, including critical information. Restricting the distribution of critical information affecting vaccine prevention will not lead to increased parental confidence in professionals and the health care system. Such trust will be facilitated only by honest and open provision of parents with complete, verified and reliable information, including information about the risks associated with vaccination or specific vaccinations.

  3. Try putting a needle in my arm. Would suggest all the SC justices be vaccinated including all future booster shots and observe their reactions.. The Golden Rule. “Do as I say, NOT as I do” Cowardly lawyers all. If I had a kid school age, escape to the real outside world. MVRA (Make Vermont Real Again)

  4. You would think the “my body, my choice” mob would be ALL OVER the notion that the government actually said they have the final choice over “your” body. And yet, they are apparently too stupid to link the two.

    • If it weren’t for double standards, they’d have no standards at all. It’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy.

    • I’d take it a step further. They don’t make the link because the “my body, my choice” belief only applies to the person claiming the choice. It doesn’t apply to the unborn baby, who is a separate person. Unfortunately, that tiny person has no voice or choice.
      Judging by the recent death cult antics at the Democratic Convention promoting free abortions and vasectomies, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a system of Eugenics on the DNC platform accomplished by forced injection or any other means….

      Walz has already made it clear he supports death when he removed the requirement to report the babies who survived abortion and who were callously allowed to die. It’s also obvious Kamala is unburdened by the norms we always lived by regarding the value and respect for human life. So if the VT SC is in agreement with this trend which, by the way, seems to be supported by the VT Constitution, why worry about injecting a school age kid without parental permission? Dare I say it? Killing kids at any age has apparently become a human right especially if their god, the PREP Act says it’s ok.

  5. News from the outside world of VT. Copied a few paragraphs, the link to the article is here.

    Record Number of Louisiana Parents Opt Out of Back-to-School Vaccines
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/record-number-louisiana-parents-opt-out-back-to-school-vaccines/

    The number of children starting school with vaccination exemptions has more than doubled in recent years, according to CDC data.

    More Louisiana parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children before sending them to school this year. The rate of parents opting out of standard vaccines is the highest it’s been in a decade, NOLA.com reported this week.
    The number of children starting school with vaccination exemptions has more than doubled in recent years, according to New Orleans CBS affiliate 4WWL.
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show the percentage of Louisiana kindergartners who had an exemption from one or more vaccines jumped from 1.1% in the 2022-23 school year to 2.3% in the 2023-24 school year. Figures for the 2024-25 school year are not yet available.
    Overall, vaccine exemptions — particularly for non-medical reasons, such as religious or philosophical concerns — across the U.S. are on the rise, though at a less drastic rate than in Louisana, according to CDC data.
    In 2022-23, roughly 3% of all U.S. kindergartners had an exemption from one or more vaccines.

  6. get used to it; vermont courts will continue to replace individual rights with what is for the “public good”; covid makes it clear; 2nd amendment and other rights in their sights

  7. Pagans and satanists always offer sacrifices to their deities & oftentimes they are babies, children & the most vulnerable of society. “Thou shall have no gods before me” – and the “gods” or “idols” as is being referred to here means money & materialism as well as false gods.

    This is really no big deal. Ask any democrat socialist or Communist in Vermont.

  8. Our children should have at least as much consideration as a Misty Knoll chicken.

    We have total screwed this up.

  9. All the while unvaccinated illegal aliens are coming across our northern border and given a warm welcome complete with an Obama phone.

  10. Setting aside the 2020 plandemic, financial reset, wealth transfer, election fraud, and crimes against humanity playbook. When did schools start requiring vaccine proofs to attend school? When did schools start administrating vaccines within the schools (with permission slips)? How many shots required in the 1970’s and how many now? How many cases of autism, dementia, cancers, and assorted, numerous mental conditions explode in the past two decades – particularly in children and young adults?

    The Truth is we’ve been lied to and deceived for the better part of a century or more. Rockefeller medicine – from oil barron to medicinal calculated poisioning executioner. How is that polio vaccine working out in India and Africa? How about the menangitis culling with the mold inside the syringe? Better living through chemistry. Always trust the science and the globalist eugenists who created free range lab rats throughout the world with full support and logistics by own governments.

  11. Here’s how I live: I believe in the Constitution word for word, and I live by it. No legislative or court body has the Constitutional right to make any law or declare any public health mandates that treat the Constitution as no better than bird cage liner. Nor do you or I have any obligation to “obey” such diktats. The ruling in this case clearly oversteps the Court’s authority by falling back on a law that isn’t Constitutional in the first place. Very simply, two wrongs don’t make a right. It should be obvious to anyone with three functioning brain cells that children are the responsibility of their parents, not that of the courts or any other government construct.

    This case, like many others that deal with the chipping away of our Constitutional rights, belongs in front of the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, all these “Progressives” (Communists) want to create law and policy from the bench. The day we lose the Constitution in this country is the day we cease to exist. It is our raison d’etre and our final backstop.

    Related to this case, I read an article yesterday about a county in Northern California (Santa Clara?) where enough people with money and common sense decided years ago to not allow their children to receive *any* vaccinations whatsoever. And what was the result? That county is the only county in the United States where the autism rate has gone down. Let me repeat – the ONLY county in the United States. But wait, it gets even more interesting. As I said, these were people with money and common sense. The rest of the county went on their merry way, getting their children jabbed with, what is it now? Seventy-two shots by age four? Please correct me if that number isn’t exact. It *is* pretty darn close. Those children’s autism rates continued to rise at the same rate as those of the rest of the country.

    But if you want to believe that injecting aluminum, dead fetal cells, and a host of other nasty things into your children helps them, don’t come running to me for help or advocacy after the fact. I told you what was going to happen. And it did.

    • I hope people watch this video and realize that John Klar should have been elected Governor of Vermont. Compare this man’s knowledge and intellect to our race car driver, construction company owner governor. No wonder Vermont is in such horrible condition. You just can’t fix stupid or convince people of how stupid they are as a result of their voting. Ignorance affects us all and Vermont is a prime example.

  12. Vermont as a state is lost, our constitution is dead or on life support. The majority of voters are ignorant, and the rest are apathetic. The courts aren’t protecting the citizens or our constitutional rights. Our rights are being taken away by dishonest politicians who took an oath to protect and not harm our VT constitution under the pains and penalties of perjury. Our state moto of Freedom and Unity is a lie. Vermont as a government is broke. Our election laws are questionable at the least. A majority of our legislators may be corrupt and connected to the climate scam. Our congressional representative took stolen campaign money and refused to give it back. Our two senators have enriched themselves through their political careers and only return to VT during the parade season. The state now owns your children and parents have no say. Every VT institution is controlled by liberals. Vermont is not strong. Vermont has declined is not a good place to live or raise a family. Vermont is lost.

  13. I say #DumpTheDUOPOLY and elect the attorney, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. who has a proven record of suing Big Pharma, which deserves to be forced to pay for their #CrimesAgainstHumanity ~ millions are suffering from C19 vaccine injuries around the globe.  And many thousands of Vermonters are also C19 vaccine injured, only sadly, because of all the lies covering up how lethal these injections are, Vermonters injured believe they’re suffering from “Long Covid” (not a C19-vax-injury).

    The Media (controlled by the MIC & Big Pharma) have hidden the fact these injections are injuring and killing people (e.g., blood clots, autoimmune diseases, endocarditis, myocarditis, shingles, nerve paralysis, turbo cancers).

    BELOW: Support sites for C19-VAX-INJURED 
      RealNotRare.com
              React 19th.org

    The C19 injections (i.e., made up of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, enveloped in a lipid-package, that is then capable of being transported into all our organs, and the mRNA gene therapy enables SARS-CoV-2 to self-replicate); thereby making the C19 injected ‘SARS-CoV-2 replicating machines’ … Explaining all the recently disabled Vermonters, who believe they’re suffering from ‘Long Covid’, and only survived C19 because they are triple-boosted. When in fact, they are C19-vaccine-injured.   

    These injections were designed to disable our T-cells so they can no longer fight off pathogens (bacteria, viruses, chicken pox virus, – explaining the rise in shingles cases) &/or turbo cancers; this syndrome of decreased immunity is being called VAIDS; “Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome”. 

    The CHD ~ Children’s Health Defense (founded by RFK, Jr.) ~ has been taking these legalized Drug Cartels on for decades.  RFK, Jr. has been fighting this battle against the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex, ever since a group of mothers followed him all around the country pestering him to help them with their vaccine injured children (e.g., autism, seizure disorders, etc.).  They planted themselves on the front lawn of the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis, saying they would not leave his property until he read a foot high stack of research articles proving the childhood vaccines were not safe. And, so he did. After which he realized he had no choice but to help these mothers.

    And, yet the Media makes him look like he’s a whack job, an “anti-vaxxer”, because he realized the group of women (all mothers) had a legitimate gripe worth looking into.  The Media knows he is their biggest threat to Big Pharma (whose commercials; “Brought To You By Pfizer” brings them in a billion$$$ worth of revenue every year …

    Is everyone beginning to see how this all works? Big Pharma & MSM feed OFF each other, while the rest of us are left for dead. They KNOW R.F. Kennedy, Jr. has the expertise as an attorney & brains to rock Big Pharma to its core and dismantle ‘Rockefeller Medicine’ that advises 82 vaccines by the time a child is 18yo. Their greed is unquenchable & our children are getting sicker (1:32 are autistic now).

    ‘Rockefeller Medicine’ has dominated the curriculum in all our best universities Medical Schools. Yet, has proven to do nothing but make Americans over-medicated and sicker than ever before.  Especially our children.  Prescription Drugs are now the leading cause of death. 

    https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-04-25-leading-cause-death-america-today-pharmaceuticals.html 

    All while Big Pharma Drug Cartels make off with Billion$ in profits & lobby our Congress to deny us all Universal Healthcare.  Pfizer & Moderna are Corporate Thugs; Albert Bourla admitted to not even taking the C19 injection himself.  
       
    RFK, Jr’s not only NOT afraid to take on Big Pharma, but ALSO the illegal EUA (when the CDC, FDA & NIAID all KNEW both Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine we’re available for use to fight off Covid-19 and they knew were both SAFE & EFFECTIVE; 
     not only treat SARS-CoV-2, but also worked as a preventative against ever even contracting C19 disease (e.g., a hospital in Argentina was administering Ivermectin preventatively the Summer of 2020, and hardly anyone became ill with C19.

    The reason RFK, Jr is being kept from the debates is because Big Pharma is well aware of the fact RFK’s very capable and knows all the tricks they use to abuse our Human Rights;
    e.g., the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986 (42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 to 300aa-34) was signed into law by United States President Ronald Reagan to protect companies like Pfizer (the most heavily sued Pharmaceutical company in all U.S. history.

    Big Pharma also knew how to protect themselves during their planned, premeditated pandemic by getting an EUA, which they knew would protect them against all legal liability for any harm done to Americans for an “Experimental” mRNA gene therapy that violated the Nuremberg Code of Ethics to coerce, or mandate any human subject into taking it (after Dr. Josef Mengele experimented on the Jews during WWII). 

    No babies are being born in Vermont not because of “Liberals” but because Vermont is the most heavily C19 injected State in the USA and pregnant mothers miscarried, or can longer conceive because of their OB/GYN doctors (along w/ all Primary Care MD’s) were all bribed by our government to vaccinate all their patients; INCLUDING pregnant mothers.  The greater the % of their patients C19 injected, the more $$ they were paid.

    Injecting pregnant mothers with an experimental gene therapy is unacceptable. To experiment with a new medical intervention is unheard of?   The #1 rule in Pharmacy is to never experiment on pregnant mothers since the days & horrors of thalidomide.  

    The Media, “Brought To You By Pfizer”  has LIED about what RFK, Jr. stands for and they’ve smeared his reputation precisely BECAUSE he is the most capable of exposing the #CrimesAgainstHumanity perpetrated by Pfizer & Moderna these past 4 years. 

    And, yet no one is stopping them. Not the CDC, not the FDA. They all have been bought. Moderna & Pfizer continue getting away with coercing parents into giving these to our children, when the science shows the spike protein was found in ovaries & testes of deceased individuals (i.e., they are sterilizing our children) 

    We were lied to.  An Emergency Use Authorization for SARS-CoV-2 was never needed when we had SAFE & EFFECTIVE MEDICINE; Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine.
