Informed Consent
Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of The DarkHorse Podcast, and recently Brett and Heather made a point that really resonated with me: bringing back proper informed consent can help foster open and honest dialogue. It creates a space where people feel safe expressing their concerns and can make decisions without feeling pressured or coerced.
This got me thinking—have you ever been given proper informed consent when taking a vaccine, undergoing a medical procedure, or starting a new medication?
As a quick reminder, informed consent includes these key elements:
- Clear Information: You should receive a detailed, understandable explanation about the treatment, including its purpose, benefits, risks, and alternatives.
- Voluntary Choice: You should be free to decide without any coercion or pressure.
- Capacity to Decide: You should have the mental and emotional ability to fully understand the information.
- Ongoing Communication: Your questions should be answered, and your decisions—whether to accept or refuse—should be respected.
Do you think informed consent is essential for ethical and honest medical practice? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any experiences you’ve had around this!

Hi Helen,
This all looks pretty basic, obvious and sensible.
Maybe add that, by default, parents make choices for young children?
Additionally, in case of an accident where I can’t speak for myself,
my written, notarized medical choices are to be followed.
Thanks and good health, Weogo

Of course it’s important, and almost nobody does it. Frankly the doctors don’t understand enough to do it well. Even when they do it’s ill-timed. For my last surgery I was given the forms to sign after I was sedated and right before I was about to be wheeled into surgery. Pathetic.

First off, I love Bret and Heather! Their podcasts are crucial, educational and so full of critical information! They also have a great book called “A Hunter Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century.” That said, I have never been “informed” of anything, only told that I am past due for Covid, flu, pneumonia, shingles jabs, etc. etc. etc!!! Thank God for all the truth warriors out there that stuck their necks out and put their lives on the line for us! I would love to see true informed consent!

From your logic, informed consent and mandates are antithetical. Therefore, mandates are illegal. Any attempted use of mandates is a violation of law that should be prosecuted.
