Rob Verkerk and Mel Aldridge Part 1 Vaccine Transparency and the Immune System

This episode is not an anti-vax screed but simply a request for data so we can approach vaccination for SARS-CoV-2  with full informed consent. Informed consent is the foundation of medical practice. The American Medical Association Code of Medical Ethics Opinion 2.1.1 states, "Informed consent to medical treatment is fundamental in both ethics and law.  Patients have the right to receive information and ask questions about recommended  treatments so they can make well-informed decisions about care." Informed consent also includes the role of conflicts of interest. How does the group promoting the medical treatment stand to financially benefit?

Vaccine data transparency will enable all of us as human citizens of the world to exercise our rights to give informed consent when the time comes to receive the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
