Informed Consent Implied
Open Letter

Dear Premier Tim Houston and Dr. Strang,
There is a pretense that the injections that people are receiving are being received lawfully under informed consent. Back in March of 2021 informed consent was implied in a statement by Justin Trudeau when he said “Everyone who wants a vaccine in Canada will be able to get one by the end of September.”
Patients engaged in the decision-making process, tend to make better health choices and have more realistic expectations. They are also more likely to accept and recognize the value of the treatment recommended by authorities, and be satisfied with the treatment outcomes.
A patient engaged in the decision making process, must have a choice.
Vaccine passports are a form of discrimination. This discrimination interferes in the informed choice process. In the case of vaccine passports, the choice to take this treatment may be motivated by aversion to becoming an outcast from society.
Vaccine mandates also interfere in this choice, because the decision to take this treatment may be influenced by the need to keep a job in order to have food and shelter, and to maintain quality of life.
With respect to the importance of informed consent, it is vital that the government reverse all mandates and passports. Otherwise the outcomes we see from this treatment are unlikely to achieve the goals hoped for.
Sincerely,
Renee
