Thanks for your work to keep rattling the bars about the informed consent issue. I would suggest that the two words share equal value in the phrase. The ability to be informed rests on the trustworthiness of our sources of inform-ation.

Many doctors might believe they are informed because they trust expert vaccinologists, immunologists and virologists. Many of those experts believe they are informed because they trust the mythologies that were fed to them as students. And of course, many of the public and politicians believe they are informed because they trust their ABC,etc, and the medical advisers paraded before them.

It is not an easy task to be informed. Even the dissidents in the medical freedom leadership are not necessarily trustworthy, as there are always those who provide us with limited hangouts and false dichotomies that obscure rather than illuminate.

Psychological operations deliberately devolve being truly informed, prior to consent, into pragmatism and resignation.

Dr Malik on informed consent stated "You need to have the right to say, I don't want anything. I just want to be left alone." No one was able to refuse what happened during the fake pandemic of 2020 because the government did not ask for our consent, all of it up to the vaccines was an erosion of our rights to say no. Mandatory vaccines was a continuation of the governments drive to make us submit to what they considered was their authoritarian "right" to invade our private personal lives and it progressed from stripping us of our personal autonomy to coercion to have substances injected into our body. Personal consent from 2020 disappeared in nearly every aspect of our lives because the government cited an emergency and their draconian response to the fake emergency was for the "greater good". Personal informed consent is one of the cornerstones of freedom in a civilised society but apparently in our societies it can be taken from us by governments when they wish to.
