Nurses are the most trusted professionals in healthcare—and after 2020, many of us stopped accepting “because we said so” as an answer.

In this NursesOutLoud conversation, I sit down with attorney Aaron Siri (Siri & Glimstad), author of Vaccines, Amen, known for vaccine-policy litigation and public-records battles. This is a nurse-to-lawyer pressure test on what “true informed consent” actually requires at the bedside—especially when the system treats vaccination like a belief statement instead of a medical product decision.

We cover:

• The “72 shots” debate and what the CDC schedule actually reflects

• What vaccine package inserts show about trial design and control groups

• Why post-market safety data and surveillance are so often misunderstood

• The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and how liability shapes accountability

• The ethical line between educating vs. coercing, shaming, or threatening families

• Why Aaron says the market won’t “self-correct” with vaccines the way it can with other products

Bottom line: You don’t have to become “anti” anything to become ethically competent. You do have to be precise, evidence-aware, and committed to informed consent—especially when patients ask hard questions.
