Informed Consent

Tyson foods is now among the companies that have announced that they’re going to force employees to get vacksinated.  Because asking nicely didn’t seem to work.

Tyson CEO Donnie King said, “We have spent months encouraging our team members to get vaccinated—today, under half of our team members are.”

Tyson found out that offering $200 cash bonuses and other incentives designed to convince their employees to get vacksinated doesn’t work.  So, they decided to just make them do it.

Nice, Donnie.  Real nice.

However, Tyson also says that employees can ask for a religious or medical exemption.  Now you have another reason to sign up for my Supplemental Religion policy.  [This message was brought to you by ReliGap – the industry leader in supplemental religion coverage.]

Everyone should know by now that Big Pharma isn’t liable for any damage caused by their vackseens.  If taking one of their injections happens to maim or kill you, they pretty much just shrug their shoulders and say, “Man, it sucks to be you.”

So, if Big Pharma doesn’t have to pay for any damage their experimental drug causes, who does? Great question.

I know hardly anyone reads the fine print these days. So I did it for you. I read Walgreens’ “Informed Consent for Vaccination” form and here’s what I found:

“I understand that it is not possible to predict all possible side effects or complications associated with receiving vaccine(s). I understand the risks and benefits associated with the above vaccine(s) and have received, read and/or had explained to me the EUA Fact Sheet on the vaccine(s) I have elected to receive.”

Then, I took a look at the “EUA”, which stands for “Emergency Use Authorization”.

“These may not be all the possible side effects of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials.”

The Pfizer and J&J Emergency Use Authorizations say the same thing.

Further down in the fine print, Walgreens says:

“On behalf of the patient, the patient’s heirs and personal representatives, I hereby release and hold harmless each applicable Provider, its staff, agents, successors, divisions, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, contractors and employees from any and all liabilities or claims whether known or unknown arising out of, in connection with, or in any way related to the administration of the vaccine(s) listed above.”

Essentially, Walgreens wants you to sign a document, that has really small print, saying that you read and understood another yet document and you accept the risk of the serious side effects listed, as well as those that aren’t.

If you’re not vacksinated by now, it isn’t because you’re not aware of the vackseens.  It’s because you’ve weighed the pros and cons of being injected and decided that, for you, the potential benefit isn’t worth the actual risk.  Or, maybe it’s because you read the fine print and decided that you didn’t want to be the only one accepting said risk.

So, where does that leave you?  You know that the people who made the vackseen aren’t liable.  And, when you’re vacksinated, you’ve got to sign a document agreeing that the people who give you the vackseen aren’t liable.  And, against your better judgement, your employer is going to force you to get injected anyway. 

But hey, don’t worry.  If you work for Tyson, you’re going to get $200 bucks for getting vacksinated.  So, if you end up with a yet-to-be-discovered serious “adverse reaction”, it’s all good.
