Man with severe learning disabilities should have the vaccine, judge rules

A case has recently been taken to court after a family objected to their son with severe learning disabilities, autism and epilepsy having the Covid-19 vaccine. The hearing took place at the Court of Protection, where issues relating to people who lack the mental capacity to make decisions are analysed. It was here that Manchester-based Judge, Jonathan Butler, heard the family’s concerns relating to the side effects of the vaccine and the impact this could have on their son.
