North Carolina justices decide family can sue over unwanted COVID-19 shot

The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that a family can sue for a COVID-19 vaccine administered to a minor without parental consent, overturning previous legal protections related to the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act .
Chief Justice Paul Newby stated that the vaccine administration violated constitutional rights, allowing for legal action against the school and medical clinic involved.
Justice Allison Riggs dissented, arguing the majority's ruling misinterpreted federal law and criticized their constitutional analysis.
Tanner Smith's family claims he received the vaccine despite his protests and lack of consent, leading to the lawsuit against health officials.
