‘I should decide if my vulnerable adult son has a Covid vaccine – not a judge’ • Sarah’s instinct to protect Tom, a 24-year-old with complex medical conditions, could be overridden by one of Britain’s most powerful courts • https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fi... • ‘They should be proving to us that it’s safe, not me trying to prove it isn’t’ • ‘All I’ve ever wanted to be is a great mother and to protect my son’ • Mum Sarah and son Tom (23 years / 18 months LD) • Congenital heart condition • Chromosomal condition, Partial Trisomy 13 • She dared to question whether the Covid-19 vaccine was safe for her vulnerable son • Nearly three years, Court of Protection • Whether the greater good – for Tom and society – will be served by him being injected • (despite complex medical conditions) • Sarah • Claims state being “heavy-handed”, • insisting it knows better than a mother. • Tom had all his childhood vaccines. • Her fear about the vaccine • mRNA suitable in multiple pathology? • Dentists, needs antibiotics • 2021 • Tom contracted covid twice, recovered quickly. • Sarah repeatedly asking medical professionals • “I went to talk to my GP about my concerns,” • “I explained that I was worried there was a possibility the vaccine could cause myocarditis or pericarditis” • “At the end of our chat when I said I was concerned about Tom having the vaccine, the doctor simply said he needed to tick some boxes for the relevant “agencies”. I didn’t think any more of it.” • A few days later • Social worker unexpected visit. • Then, a physiotherapist • Both questioned about why Tom had not yet had the vaccine. • “I felt they should be proving to us that it’s safe, not me trying to prove it is not safe.” • April 2021 • Court summons, • signalling the beginning of a protracted and ongoing legal tussle with the state. • Judge Burrows • legal “impasse” • “on the advice given to clinicians by effectively the UK Government” • Sarah • “the risks posed by the vaccine were unclear and maybe significant.” • Judge Burrows • Tom was in an at-risk group, • “the evidence is that vaccines do give protection against serious illness and death.” • Whether Tom “may have made an altruistic decision to receive the vaccine to protect the community at large” • “In other words: might Tom have behaved like a responsible citizen and considered the effect of his decision on other people had he made the decision for himself.” • “it is in Tom’s best interest to receive the vaccine” • Court battle is still ongoing. • Sarah • Crowdfunding site – “Forced Vaccinations On Our Loved Ones” • So far, those who believe mother knows best have raised more than £35,000. • Sarah has spent £25,000 of her own life savings. • Professor • World expert in Trisomy 13, told the court the vaccine could pose a threat to Tom. • If the court ultimately orders that Tom should be vaccinated, • any attempt by his mother to prevent that happening could culminate in her being jailed or assets being seized. • • Sarah • “‘He is currently a fit and well young man with no comorbidities and he takes no medications. • “The injection could potentially injure or kill him. • If he is given the vaccine, one of my greatest fears is that he cannot speak and express how he is feeling should he have an adverse reaction. • “I have dedicated my whole life to overseeing his health and worked tirelessly with the medical community to develop intricate and personalised care regimes,” • “It’s my care which has contributed to Tom living until he is 24, despite Trisomy 13 often resulting in a limited lifespan. • “For the judge to believe that Tom would take it for the sake of others – the so-called altruistic view – denies the possibility that there is any risk at all to Tom. • “I would think he’d protect his own life by not taking it.” • “All I have ever wanted to be is a great mother and to protect my son. I believe that as his mother, I know what is best for him.” • • / clarecraigpath
