Question: Should Medically-degreed Physicians in the NIH, the CDC, the NIAID and the FDA (all of whom presumably pledged the Hippocratic Oath at the beginning of their medical careers) Who Then Vigorously Promoted the Untested (Long-term), Experimental Emergency Use Authorized (EEUA) Covid-19 Vaccines, be Subject to the Nuremberg Code of Ethics? (And Should They be Prosecuted if Found Guilty, Given the Fact that the Vaccine Recipients Have NOT been Fully Informed About the Unknown Long-term Risks of the Experimental Vaccines)?
The Doctors Trial considered the fate of twenty-three German physicians who either participated in the Nazi program to euthanize persons deemed “unworthy of life” (the mentally ill, mentally retarded, or physically disabled) or who conducted experiments on concentration camp prisoners without their consent. The Doctors Trial lasted 140 days. Eighty-five witnesses testified and almost 1,500 documents were introduced. Sixteen of the doctors charged were found guilty. Seven were executed.

One hundred twelve Jews were selected for the purpose of completing a skeleton collection for the Reich University of Strasbourg. Their photographs and anthropological measurements were taken. Then they were killed. Thereafter, comparison tests, anatomical research, studies regarding race, pathological features of the body, form and size of the brain, and other tests, were made. The bodies were sent to Strasbourg and defleshed.

This program involved the systematic and secret execution of the aged, insane, incurably ill, of deformed children, and other persons, by gas, lethal injections, and diverse other means in nursing homes, hospitals, and asylums. Such persons were regarded as “useless eaters” and a burden to the German war machine. The relatives of these victims were informed that they died from natural causes, such as heart failure. German doctors involved in the “euthanasia” program were also sent to Eastern occupied countries to assist in the mass extermination of Jews.

A Concise Summary of the 10 Elements of the Nuremberg Code
- Voluntary consent of the human to be experimented upon is essential.
- The results of any experiment must be for the greater good of society.
- Human experiments should be based on previous animal experimentation.
- Experiments should be conducted by avoiding physical/mental suffering and injury.
- No experiments should be conducted if it is believed to cause death/disability.
- The risks should never exceed the benefits.
- Adequate facilities should be used to protect subjects.
- Experiments should be conducted only by qualified scientists.
- Subjects should be able to end their participation at any time.
- The scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment when injury, disability, or death is likely to occur.
