Nuremberg, 1947

Nuremberg, 1947

In the 1930s, German medicine and German healthcare institutions were widely considered the most advanced in the world. However, subtle but enormously consequential shifts had been underway decades before Hitler came to power, starting with the rise of the eugenics movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In 1922, Alfred Hoche and Karl Binding, a psychiatrist and a lawyer, published an influential book, Allowing the Destruction of Life Unworthy of Life. A metaphor from this and other influential works captured the imagination of the German medical establishment, undermining the traditional Hippocratic ethic that had governed medicine since antiquity.

Instead of serving the health of the individual patient presenting for treatment, German physicians were encouraged to be responsible for the “health” of the “social organism”—the volk—as a whole.

Instead of seeing afflicted individuals as sick and in need of compassionate medical care, German doctors became agents of a socio-political program driven by a cold and calculating utilitarian ethos. If the social organism was construed as healthy or sick, some individuals (e.g., those with cognitive or physical disabilities) were characterized as “cancers” on the volk. And what do doctors do with cancers but eliminate them? 

The first people gassed by the Nazis were not Jews in concentration camps (that came later), but disabled patients in psychiatric hospitals, murdered under the Third Reich’s “T4 Euthanasia Program.” Each of these death warrants was signed by a German physician. Even after the lethal regime turned its attention on Jews and other ethnic minorities, they continued to deploy quasi-public health justifications: Recall that the Jews were routinely demonized by the Nazis as “spreaders of disease.” If physicians serve not the needs of sick and vulnerable patients, but are agents of a social program, the German example shows us what happens when that social program is misdirected by a corrupt regime.

When the atrocities of the Nazi doctors were revealed at the postwar Nuremberg trials, the world rightly condemned German physicians and scientists who participated. That their actions were legal under the Nazi regime was not an adequate defense; these doctors were convicted at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity. To avoid such disasters in the future, the central principle of research ethics and medical ethics—namely, the free and informed consent of the research subject or patient—was then clearly articulated in the Nuremberg Code. Here is the first of 10 points articulated in the Code:

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.

This principle was further developed in the Helsinki Declaration of the World Medical Association, the Belmont Report commissioned by the U.S. Federal Government in the 1970s, and subsequently codified under the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations in the “Common Rule,” the law governing human-subjects research in the United States.

Fast forward to 2020. In the face of the novel coronavirus, and the fears generated by media propaganda, the principle of free and informed consent was once again abandoned. The most egregious, but my no means the only, example was vaccine mandates enacted while the vaccines were still under emergency-use authorization, and, thus, by our federal government’s own definition, “experimental.”

How and why was the bulwark of 20th-century medical ethics abandoned so quickly, and with so little opposition from the medical and scientific establishment? What were the immediate effects? What will be the long-term, consequences of the shift back to a crass utilitarian ethic governing science, medicine, and public health during a pandemic?

More vaccinated people are dying of COVID than unvaccinated people, according to a recent report from Public Health England (PHE). The report shows that 163 of the 257 people (63.4%) who died of the delta variant within 28 days of a positive COVID test between February 1 and June 21, had received at least one dose of the vaccine. At first glance, this may seem alarming, but it is exactly as would be expected.

Only in studies designed to fail.

The powers that be, your comrades, didn’t want to find any actual evidence so they naturally didn’t look for it and voila, no proof.

There simply wasn’t enough money to be made by an effective, inexpensive medication.

Show me the gold standard, placebo controlled, random assigned, large scale study that shows other wise.

The studies have used the wrong dosage of the drugs, administered without zinc, at the wrong times in the course of the illness.

HCQ and Ivermectin are zinc ionophores, drugs that enable zinc to more efficiently enter the cells, and zinc is the antiviral, which has been known for a long time.

So the drugs must be administered during the viral replication phase of the disease with zinc to help inhibit viral replication.

Doing it too late misses that window. Not doing enough is ineffective.

Nor have these drugs been promoted as being anti inflammatories or touted to repair organ damage.

So studies using incorrect dosages, without zinc at least, and wrong timing are “studies” designed to fail. You don’t administer toxic or useless dosage or wait until the inflammatory stage of the disease, or organ damage has occurred to study then and then claim they don’t work.

And that is exactly what you and your cohorts have done, along with ignoring all the real life, on the ground evidence of their effectiveness.

If my dog needed 3 or 4 rabies shots in one year, I’d say they’re not working

Do you think the polio vaccine works? It takes four shots.

Big diff. The covid vax doesn't work. Why would you compare the two, vax-boy?

Duggie got all shook up when I pointed out, correctly, his $hot $hill pattern of posting on regular $hifts.....typically, 9-5 E ... clocking in at about the same time, each morning, then...clocking out....like clock work, at the same times, each eve.

He then began ‘mixing it up’ a bit, but....then returns to his regularly scheduled $hot $hilling $hifts, after a few “off/mix up” days.

Then, I called him out for his CCP/CDC bot behavior....of posting 95.5% of his posts on.....drumroll.....$hot warning threads, with his CDC provided pap. On a conservative forum....this tool spends 95.5%+ of his time, posting on these dangerous $hots warning threads.

He didn’t like that, so he quickly did the leftist troll dance....and...lol...attempted to claim that I was a Russian (or, some foreign country :) troll.

This obvious, $hift working $hot $hill is lambasted thread, after thread, day after day, post after post. You’d think he’d get tired of being called out, repeatedly, but....he refuses to stop the $hot $hilling. Maybe there’s a bonus for each post he makes, and each reply he receives. Who knows. Maybe it’s supplemental retirement income. Easier than being a Walmart greeter, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

His credibility was $hot, long ago.

Yet, he continues to $hill for these horrid $hots, regardless.....9-5/99.5.

Only because you’re acting like a Russian/Chinese bot trying to spread discord and disinformation about the vaccines.

No doubt you’re an expert in experimental design and pharmacological research.

Correct.

And NIH has not funded and will NOT fund a proper study which would undermine the EUAs, so DD’s comment is Straw Man.

Typical horseshit.

A person doesn’t need to be to realize that incomplete treatment, incorrect dosages, and inappropriate timing make it a guarantee that a study is going to fail.
