There wasn’t even a pretense of informed consent concerning the Covid vaccines. From John Allison, J.D., at rwmalonemd.substack.com:
Testimony, Facts and Receipts: Updated prior essay from Hon. John Allison, J.D.
Were you adequately informed about the COVID-19 treatment risks and options? Were you adequately informed about the COVID-19 genetic vaccine risks? Did you have full knowledge and understanding of those risks? Did you make a decision to (or not to) voluntarily accept vaccines or medical treatment(s) for COVID-19 disease? Does your physician check in with you to insure that you are providing continuous and ongoing consent if you are participating in any experimental treatments or clinical research studies?
Were you coerced, enticed, or forced to accept an experimental medical product or procedure without providing fully informed consent?
John Allison, J.D. previously wrote and published an essay (August 2022) on the topic of COVID-19 vaccines and informed consent, and he has now updated his prior essay with additional information (updated late July 2023). Following is his updated essay, with associated references.
COVID-19 Vaccines and Informed Consent
By John Allison, J.D.
Updated July 25, 2023
Introduction.
Most Americans have long assumed that they have a fundamental right to make decisions about their own bodily health and the medical treatments they receive. Informed consent is the ethical and legal principle by which that fundamental right is enforceable. To be able to give informed consent a person needs to be informed about the risks and benefits of, and alternatives to, the proposed treatment.
The fundamental right to informed consent is particularly important with respect to the COVID-19 vaccines which are available in the United States pursuant to Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs). Under the federal EUA statute, people are entitled to be informed about their right to accept or refuse administration of these vaccines, the consequences (if any) of refusing vaccination, and the benefits and risks of alternatives to the vaccines. A different federal statute gives the manufacturers of EUA vaccines, and the people and organizations administering them, immunity from liability suits for damages. Unless courts decide that the immunity statute cannot be applied against people who did not give their informed consent to vaccination, people who suffer severe adverse effects after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine will not be able to recover compensation, for their monetary and emotional distress damages, from the vaccine manufacturers or from the people who vaccinated them. Similarly, the family members of people who die after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine will not be able to recover compensation for their loss.
I read many of the referenced studies in this article throughout the scamdemic. To see them collated together, all describing the egregious harms done to humanity, is heart breaking.
