Mother sues LAUSD, saying child got COVID vaccine without permission

LAUSD is facing a lawsuit for allegedly bribing a student to get vaccinated without his mother's consent.

"He's lacking of breath, doesn't sleep well, he doesn't do exercise the way he did. He is not normal to me," said the boy's mom.
