Medical ethics

 There are four main principles of medical ethics,

Autonomy – the patient has the right to refuse or choose his or her treatment. This is rooted in society’s respect for individuals’ ability to make informed decisions about personal matters with freedom.

Beneficence – a practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient and family. In other words, healing is the aim of medicine.

Non-maleficence – not to be the cause of harm. Many consider this should be the primary consideration, that it is more important not to harm your patient than to do him good, which is part of the Hippocratic oath that doctors take.

Justice – concerns the fair distribution of scarce health resources, and the decision as to who gets what treatment.

Writing in TCW Guy Hatchard speaks of the situation in New Zealand pointing out that, because of their closed borders, they have had only 18,000 cases to date and 53 deaths in a population of  5 million. However, they have had, by official count, 50,000 adverse events from the "vaccines" and over 130 deaths. 

Lets examine those numbers, the case fatality rate (CFR) for the actual virus is .003, for the "vaccines" the CFR is, surprise, .003 but no medical practitioner has raised this matter and the government of New Zealand, as does ours, continues to say the "vaccines" are safe and effective.

What is safe and effective about a cure that kills people at the same rate as the disease?

There is a serious deficit in medical ethics almost everywhere. Autonomy is out the window, coercion is the flavour of the day. Maleficence abounds, harm is being done not only through the "vaccines" but through inane mask mandates and lockdowns. Beneficence is nowhere to be found, doctors bow to the demands of the government not to the needs of their patients.

The medical fraternity needs to grow a pair and say to the government - what you are doing is doing harm to our patients and needs to stop. I doubt that that will occur, but it should if doctors are living up to their oath.
