As @life_is_art___ has pointed out, the #ARHQ & #KaiserHealth (plus others!) are studying patients without clear consent. The #CommonRule was changed in the CURES Act. It allows for something called #AlternativeConsent.
It's easier for researchers! 🤔

Just a few screenshots from the description of #AlternativeConsent:
You can obtain consent from patients WITHOUT THEIR DIRECT KNOWLEDGE if the study is deemed
*minimal risk* to the patient.
Who determines such a thing?
No doubt, #ForcibleTapers were done w/#AlternativeConsent.

You'll find that in re: #AlternativeConsent, there's great discussion about preventing patient bias in trials.
They are allowed to dodge consent to avoid that *bias*. This cannot be #ethical. @process_x was right when she warned us about the changes made to the #CommonRule.
