Protecting Informed Consent

“The term ‘anti-vaxxer’ is attached to all manner of undesirable imagery — at least for about half of Americans. Talk show hosts evoke subhuman entities from drooling simpletons to horned grandma killers. Bernadette Pajer is neither of these, but she’s had the label slapped onto her cause plenty. Pure in intention and intentional about research, Pajer’s work is focused on ‘informed consent,’ a process in which healthcare providers fully explain the costs and benefits of treatments and procedures to their patients,who are then empowered to make knowledgeable decisions. Pajer has witnessed firsthand the effects of withheld or misrepresented information, and seeks to combat it. She shared with me how she got started on this mission and what she wants to see in the future. Everything began for Pajer in Washington state, where her son went to public school.” (12/03/24)
