Informed Consent – Mature Minor – Ethics
All Canadians have the right to make decisions regarding vaccination guided by full knowledge about risks and benefits. The principle of “Informed Consent” is at the foundation of Canadian Medical Law. It grants “every individual the right to information on material risks and the fundamental right of persons to be free from unwanted physical interference.” Vaccination is an invasive medical procedure which carries a risk of both injury and death; it is not exempt from Medical Law nor the ethic of Informed Consent.
Across Canada, minor children will come under increasing pressure in the school setting to make their own vaccine decision without the knowledge or consent of their parents or guardians. Vaccine compliance elicited under threat of coercion, bullying, or suspension of rights and freedoms, constitutes an extreme bullying and coercion and is construed under Canadian Medical Law as a battery. The Mature Minor doctrine cannot override the wishes and consent of the parents outside of the emergency threat of imminent harm or death. Vaccinations do not fall under the Mature Minor doctrine. The administration of an experimental medical treatment, without the informed consent of the parent/guardian, is a crime against humanity and is contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada, stemming from the Nuremberg Code and Helsinki Declaration of 1964.
In recent years it has become evident that vaccines are first and foremost a means for drug manufacturers to reap large profits and satisfy their shareholders’ investment dreams. Inevitably, health consumers are the losers.
