More on the vaccinating of minors without parental consent

The age of 'self-consent' was lowered to 11 from 12 by Philadelphia's health authorities. Presumably CDC came up with this brilliant idea. Thx to Mary Beth Pfieffer and Linda Bonvie for this update.

I already told you I had an email from a health dept official in Philadelphia instructing a child how to thwart their parents and get a COVID vaccine without parental consent.

Now, In order to give itself cover regarding the fig leaf that children can in fact provide a legal informed consent without a parent or guardian, the Health Commissioner of Philadelphia, PA claimed that handing a totally inadequate EUA “Fact Sheet” to an 11 year old at the time of vaccination would substitute for informed consent.

However, we know that the Fact Sheets that were used in lieu of a package insert omitted known information on health risks of the vaccine and incorrectly stated the benefits of the vaccine. So how could there be informed consent?
