The Colonel did the correct thing
Informed consent should be part of every medical decision by patients.
Steve Kirsch had a great post about a brave military doctor. He actually took thirty minutes to brief troops about the hazards of vaccination and gave the troops information what we doctors call “informed consent”. I have asked doctors and nurses if they get informed consent and they say, well sure, we hand them this one page information sheet and they initial the bottom. Of course the sheet is relatively empty of true informed consent requirements. I usually spent 15-30 minutes explaining operations to patients well ahead of time - most often in the office several days before planned elective surgery. Although hospitals require us to use “their” informed consent page, it usually has only generic words like need for transfusion, heart damage, death. I like to explain in greater detail specific to the operation being done. There are certain risks in heart surgery that are not present in orthopedic or ophthalmological surgery.
This military doctor got fired after he did his duty? The US military of today consistently amazes me with their stupidity — at the very top. From the Secretary of Defense down through the flag ranks… I am consistently embarrassed at decisions they make. But you know the old saying.. “Boy.. there is the right way and the wrong way and the Army way - here we do it the Army way… “ You ex military have heard that I know.
Here is Kirsch’s report.
It's hard to understand that "very Top" are such Pendejos!! The Russian and Chinese Armies did not have to get vaccinated
