A Maine family’s then-five-year-old son was vaccinated in November 2021 with the Pfizer-
BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at a public school without his parents’ consent. After the family filed suit, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled that their state claims for damages were pre-empted by the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, holding that their parental rights to consent and their child’s right to bodily integrity were not violated. By Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court dated June 2, 2025, the Hogan family has requested that the U.S. Supreme Court review their case.
Most Americans trust their public schools not to inject their children with vaccines without consent, and they expect that if a school did offend this commonsense expectation, it would be legally liable. Yet Maine is not alone in ruling that parents lose traditional legal protections when experimental COVID-19 vaccines are thrust into their children’s arms without consent. Vermont’s Supreme Court ruled identically.
Maine’s highest court specifically ruled that the plaintiffs’ constitutional liberties had not been violated. In their Petition, the Hogans’ legal counsel disagreed, listing numerous violations of all Americans’ most fundamental liberties that are undermined if the PREP Act is applied to foreclose their common law state rights.
As the petition explains:
If the PREP Act purports to authorize “covered persons” to administer vaccines in violation of state law, even to those who object thereto, then the PREP Act abridges both the constitutional right to bodily integrity and the fundamental liberty interest of the parents in the welfare and health of their child.
This process of leaving injured parties without a real remedy or access to the courts in their own state, and without the right to a jury trial there, is violative of both substantive and procedural due process.

Did it go to one of the Justices for consideration? If so, which one?
as a correctional LEO we couldn’t medicate known mental cases without their permission and they were wards of the court. not to mention the homeless head cases off their meds.
Who exactly shot the poor kid?
and who told them to do it ?
Both of them should be in prison
Ketanji Brown Jackson has the Maine circuit.
I’m 71. When I was in school the school would not give a child an aspirin without the parent’s written approval. Now they’ll Facilite abortions or castration. What the heck changed?
YES
Turns out it was not an emergency.
Shhhhhhhhh! Don’t wake them. They’re taking their daily nap.
The PREP Act should have been tested and declared unconstitutional by now, so my guess is that the Roberts court will do nothing.
Time to abolish supreme court for being incompetent pokitical havks that don’t know the law and lie through their smiling dentures.
While your at it, congress and the presudency have become useless.
We could solve the debt quick.
