German Medical Association Finally Apologizes For Atrocities Committed by German Physicians Under the Nazis
NIH - US National Library of Medicine ^ | Nov-Dec 2013 | Arthur Gale, MD

Posted on 08/02/2021 7:48:56 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Almost seven decades after the end of World War II, the German Medical Association has made a long overdue apology for its participation in human rights violations and atrocities under the Nazi regime. In a stunning admission the Declaration states that German doctors from all strata of the profession enthusiastically supported Nazi ideology and were not coerced to support Hitler.

The Declaration of May 12, 2012, which was unanimously adopted by the delegates of the Physician’s Congress declared: “In contrast to still widely accepted view, the initiative for the most serious human rights violations did not originate from the political authorities at the time, but rather from the physicians themselves… German doctors “were guilty of scores of human rights violations”…

“The crimes were simply not the acts of individual doctors, but rather took place with the substantial involvement of leading representatives of the medical association and medical specialist bodies as well as considerable representatives of university medicine and renowned biomedical research facilities.”

2012 also marked the 65th anniversary of the Nuremburg Doctors’ Trial...The prime legacy of the Nuremberg Doctor’s Trial is the Nuremberg Code. Of the ten points in the Nuremberg Code Point, the first one which states “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential” is the most important.

The crimes committed by German physicians in their human experimentation have been amply documented. The victims were mainly Jews, Poles, Russians, and other prisoners. They suffered horribly from the gruesome experiments; many died.

"We acknowledge the responsibility for the medical crimes committed under the Nazi regime and regard these events as a warning for the present and the future...We pay our respects to all the victims, those still alive today and those who have already died, as well as their descendants and ask for their forgiveness.”

It is important to recognize that the apology from the German Medical Association comes not from the actual perpetrators of the crimes and atrocities but from their descendants who did not have a role in establishing or implementing Nazi policies... The current members of the German Medical Association have joined with physicians in other Western democracies in supporting human rights and have publicly condemned the actions of their predecessors during the Nazi period.

PING reminder for those who forget the crimes of the nation in which they dwell. As you promote vaccines, make sure to inject your arguments with a heavy dose of historic humility thanks.

So, how many years will it take for the “American” and other medical associations to apologize for the atrocities committed against children who were/are victims of “sexual reassignment” procedures ?

Just as today, the Mengele Mass Media played a key role in defending medical experimentation on human subjects...

It will be more than 7 decades before the left admits, much less apologizes for the BAD they have done in the last 18 months. The are just now realizing how much “Good” they are capable of. Dont expect it to stop any time soon.

Oh wise one I bet you can’t tell us how Pfizer, the media and feds calculate the effective rate of the Pfizer vaccine without Googling it. And then I bet you still can’t find it and if you do, you will be too embarrassed to post it.

You can also stop your unwanted emails just now, further harassing me about “...being so ruthlessly brazen about demanding the allegiance of millions of people...”

Thanks.

(are you feeling OK?)

Apology refused. The people who did it are dead. No one can apologize for something he didn’t do.

On the other hand communists never apologize.

I messaged personal testimony that most of my loved ones have received a Covid shot, that I am not against it myself, and that I knew someone who participated in the early stage Moderna trials. Also that even scientists and doctors can have concerns without being against the current vaccination campaign outright.

Anybody with a “Berlin” association such as yourself needs a heavy dose of humility while being so brazenly religious and dogmatic about a major public health undertaking as this one, where so little remains understood about the virus and its exact origins. The spirit behind your prove how little people remember of their history — and if anything, how easily you can fall into the spirit of that horrible age of 1930s without realizing it.

So the research done on twins - where one child was injected with poisons, viruses and other filth and the other child was ‘the control’ was unethical?

After the torture of the first child was finished - or the child died - which ever was first - the control - the child NOT tortured would be murdered.

Finally the ‘doctor doctors’ of Germany realize they participated in a horror people in the west wouldn’t do to animals...

Your craziness needs medication.

No way am I “...being so ruthlessly brazen about demanding the allegiance of millions of people towards any scientific or medical undertaking of this kind.”

And your Nazi connection to me making some posts, often with no comment is ludicrous.

Most of my posts today were about the Olympics.

Got something crazy I forgot to say about Nazis with that??

Proving my point. That’s exactly how Nazis and Soviets undermined individuals with even the slightest bit of criticism of the status quo.
