The young Maine child who was given a controversial and experimental Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA injection at a public school without his parents consent may not have immunity from Covid-19. But the doctor who delivered the non-consensual shot and the powerful hospital system that supplied it do. Legal immunity, that is.
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court decided on March 4 in Hogan v. Lincoln Medical Partners that the hospital system and its affiliates are fully immune from legal liability after administering an experimental mRNA injection to a five-year-old child without parental consent.
The ruling, issued March 4, affirms a lower court decision that dismissed the case brought by parents Jeremiah Hogan and Siara Jean Harrington, whose child was injected with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot at a school clinic in November 2021. The couple had sued the healthcare provider, its parent company MaineHealth, and the physician who administered the shot, alleging a litany of offenses, including medical malpractice, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
MaineHealth is the largest hospital operator in the state of Maine and employs more than 24,000 workers, including Dora Mills, the sister of Gov. Janet Mills, who serves as the “Chief Health Improvement Officer.”
The hospital chain escaped any consequences for injecting the kindergartner with a controversial concoction thanks to the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act—a statute that grants sweeping legal immunity to those administering so-called “countermeasures” during a declared public health emergency.
State-Sanctioned Medical Experimentation
In its ruling, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court acknowledged that the COVID-19 shot was administered to Hogan and Harrington’s child without their permission. Yet, instead of holding Lincoln Medical accountable, the justices concluded that federal law overrides state legal protections, effectively preempting all claims of wrongdoing.
The court admitted that “immunity applies to any claim for loss that has a causal relationship with the administration of the countermeasure,” meaning that even cases of medical misconduct are shielded so long as they are tied to a federally authorized countermeasure. The parents’ argument—that forced injections of experimental pharmaceutical products on minors without consent constitute a violation of fundamental human rights—was brushed aside in favor of protecting institutional interests.
At the core of this ruling is a disturbing reality: under federal law, there is no accountability for those who violated the most fundamental of human rights—the right to informed consent, the right to bodily autonomy, and the right to the direct medical care of your children—under the guise of panic driven by a mild flu pandemic from China.
During the alleged emergency, less than 4,000 Mainers died while testing positive for Covid-19, according to Maine CDC data, and only four of those individuals were under the age of 20. Those figures cast serious doubt on the emergency that supposedly suspended the normal rules of medical ethics, informed consent, and parental rights.
Further undermining the “emergency” the court invoked to defend the brazen abuse of the child’s rights and the parents’ rights, the emergency use authorization for the experimental gene therapy was only permitted thanks to the baseless decision by public health officials to falsely discredit alternative treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Had those alternatives been recognized as effective, the emergency use authorization would never have been permitted and would never have been used to suspend normal medical ethics.
Even with the benefit of hindsight, Maine’s highest court still sided against the child and his parents, setting a dangerous new precedent for future scenarios where panicked doctors might stalk the halls of public schools looking for children to stuff with experimental pharmaceuticals.
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court has now effectively sanctioned a system where medical professionals can inject children with experimental pharmaceutical products without parental approval, so long as bureaucrats in Washington — like the infamous Anthony Fauci — have declared an “emergency.”
