He's dead, Jim

His viewpoint is identical to Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.

Well, duh! They give the "peace" prize to genocidal terrorist murderers. Why should a little eugenics disqualify a scientist?

His Nobel Prize work had nothing to do with his sentiments regarding either eugenics or the Nazi Party (which didn't exist until after he won the Prize). It's worth keeping in mind that Julius Wagner von Jauregg was born in 1857; he must have been pushing (or towing) 80 when he joined the Nazi Party, fully 20 years after his crucial 1917 work on malaria and ten years after finally getting recognized by the Prize. At the time he joined the Nazi Party already had a death grip on the academic and scientific establishments and it would have been difficult, perhaps impossible, for him to continue research or teaching or maybe even being mentioned in textbooks if he hadn't gotten on the good side of the Nazi Party. He died in 1940, at age 83, probably completely unaware of the magnitude of Nazi crimes.
