Recommended: The Death Of Informed Consent

This is an article that The American Thinker carried today, and it really is a must read. I’ll only excerpt the beginning and ending paragraphs. It raises serious questions about the kind of country America has become:

The Death of Informed Consent

Here's what never happened in the hospital during COVID: a doctor sat down next to a patient and said, "You have a choice.  We can give you Remdesivir, which killed 53% of the patients in an Ebola trial.  It was so bad the trial had to be shut down.  And you'll notice here in Remdesivir's fact sheet, it says, 'Not a lot of people have used Remdesivir.  Serious and unexpected side effects may happen.'  Or we can give you ivermectin, a safe and effective drug that's been successfully used for decades, and send you home.  Which do you prefer?"

The reason that conversation never happened is that it would have cost the hospital too much money.  If the hospital gave you ivermectin and sent you home, the federal government paid the hospital $3,200.  If the hospital gave you Remdesivir, the federal government paid the entire hospital bill, plus a 20% bonus.  So the hospital executives' choice was to receive $3,200 or $500,000, which was the average hospital bill.  No contest.  Patients were going to get Remdesivir — whether they wanted it or not.

Informed consent died a grotesque death in the hospitals during COVID, and we need an autopsy.  There was no information, and there was no consent, and without them, patients are reduced to helpless victims, exploited for corrupt financial gain and immoral experiments.

…

The ultimate denial of informed consent was the hospitals' refusal to allow the patients to leave. "Patients lost all rights when they went in the hospital," Senator Ron Johnson told Patty Myers in her documentary, Making A Killing. "They became prisoners." A cottage industry of hospital rescues cropped up, as desperate family members hired lawyers to try to spring their loved ones out of hospital "care." Ralph Lorigo, a lawyer in Buffalo, told me that in every case when he succeeded in getting a patient's case before a judge and the judge ruled in the family's favor, the patient went home and survived. In all cases where the judge refused to hear the case or ruled against the family, the patient died.

In between those excerpts the author provides repeated examples of patients who were given Remdesivir against their will and without their knowledge. And then died.
