Sure, but to imply informed consent isn’t happening at all with vaccines is just ludicrous. You literally have to be handed a vaccine handout from the cdc before you get the vaccine, and also answer questions and have them reviewed before you get it. - ThreadSky

For all the casinos I have ever had I have never been told any of the risk nor given a vaccine handout. For my kids vaccines told injection site soreness irritability or fever and never given a vaccine handout.

Are you concerned you aren’t getting accurate safety info about vaccines? Genuinely asking. As a medical provider yourself, I’m curious what you are implying with this? Are you trying to increase distrust in vaccine science? What are you worried about?

I am just saying informed consent is not always informed consent. Regardless of whether I know everything about a procedure I still need to have it explained to me. That is called informed consent.

For sure, and I know plenty of when providers rush and don’t do true informed consent; but I also think it falls on the patient to speak up if they still have questions (and why nurses bedside tend to double check pt understanding before big consent things). There’s a balance of responsibility

You get pts are generally better at asking and questioning their health care providers than the older generation who were brought up to trust their drs and the dr patient relationship was very paternalistic. But it is part of a drs job to offer informed consent. Not the pts. Combine this

With the huge gaslighting in certain areas of medicine you can understand a pts reluctance to advocate for themselves.
