A federal judge on Friday blocked a Washington D.C. law that would allow children to be vaccinated without parental consent.
The D.C. Council passed the Minor Consent for Vaccinations Amendment Act in 2020, which allows that children as young as 11 can get vaccinated without knowledge of – or consent from – parents if a provider decides they are capable of consenting.
Judge Trevor N. McFadden of the D.C. District Court said Friday that the law violates the religious liberty of parents.
In response to two lawsuits brought against the law, McFadden granted a preliminary injunction.
As reported by Just the News, the first lawsuit came from a D.C. father with a 13-year old son who suffers medical conditions including autoimmunity and asthma caused by earlier vaccinations.
The father said his son was singled out for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine and that the district created a “pressure-cooker environment, enticing and physiologically manipulating [their minor children] to defy their parents and take vaccinations against their parents’ wills.”
Another parent said his teenage daughter attempted to get vaccinated without his permission so that she could attend summer camp and the college of her choice.

Whle its good it got shot down, IMO THIS judge didn’t go far enough. HE SHOULD ALSO have said THOSE responsible for making this law, NEED TO BE JAILED, for willful child abuse AND overstepping their authority, RE parental rights.
Said it before and saying it again: Let it known now; teens now days are very naive and easily influenced because they have never learned to think for themselves. These are what the future leaders look like – those who complain that they can’t see the forest because of the trees.
It violates not only religious liberty, but parental authority in general. If I don’t want my child to be (for example) used as a guinea pig to test an experimental drug of questionable efficacy against an illness that is extremely unlikely to affect him in any way, then my objection based on risk assessment is every bit as authoritative as an objection based on religious belief.
To the commucrats, you shouldn’t HAVE any parental authority.. YOUR KIDS belong to the state, in their eyes..
