My position statement re: public health policy
-
During my time as a veterinarian I prescribed and administered thousands of vaccinations.
-
I was and remain pro-vaccination, provided the safeguards of the Nurnberg code and Hippocratic oath are upheld.
-
I will never, for any reason, demand, coerce or shame anyone into taking, or not taking a medical procedure or treatment of any kind against their will.
-
I will always seek to educate by sharing factual information with the aim of making informed consent the norm, and not the exception.
-
I will never judge the person; I will judge the behaviour.
