The Nuremberg Code, a Landmark Declaration of Medical Ethics, Turned 75 This Year — Without Any Fanfare.
But after millions of unnecessary Covid and vaccine-related deaths and injuries, it must now become law.
Unless all of us resist, ‘Never Again’ is now.”
—Holocaust survivor and medical rights advocate Vera Sherav writing in “The Nuremberg Code: The 75th Anniversary Commemorative Edition.”
**********
When I was a girl of about eight or nine years old, I remember standing in line one morning to pick up one of the sweet treats on the “Kiddish” table in the social hall following Sabbath morning services at our synagogue. A tantalizing array of delicious cookies, cakes, candies (the “Kiddish”) was always waiting for members of the congregation following services. On a separate table, there was always wine for adults and bottles of soda pop for the kids—which my mom only bought for us on Thanksgiving. I always made a beeline for the Orange Crush.
On this Sabbath morning, I was standing next to the mom and the aunt of one of my Hebrew School friends. These sisters always piqued my curiosity since they were identical (and I mean IDENTICAL) twins. But on this particular Sabbath morning, I noticed something about both of them I had never seen before. They both had crudely etched blue/gray/purple tattoos on their arms comprised, it seemed to me, of randomly and hurriedly sketched numbers.
On the ride home from synagogue that morning, I asked my mom if she knew why the twin ladies each had numbers on their arms. She answered my question honestly…as she always did. “It’s because they were in one of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War where they put hundreds of thousands of Jews. All of the Jews in the concentration camps were given numbers that were tattooed on their arms. The Nazis thought they could keep better track of them that way. As you know, Hitler hated the Jews and wanted to get rid of them all.”
I did know about Hitler—and the Nazis. From the time I was three or four, I can remember watching Mom check the country of origin of everything that might have found its way into our home. Anything that had a marking or label on it indicating that the item came from Germany was rejected. Clothing, food, housewares…it didn’t matter. If it came from Germany, it didn’t cross the threshold of our door. (Of note…Germany was the origin of my maternal grandmother’s family.)
Somehow, suddenly knowing that my friend’s mom and her aunt had been in one of those horrific places during the war made me want to ask them questions I knew I should never ask. While my mom initially withheld the more gruesome and disturbing details of what she knew about their time in Auschwitz, she told me years later that because the women were identical twins, they had been subjected to unusually brutal medical experiments at the camp. “They survived, but they both thought they would never have children,” I recall Mom telling me. “That they each did have children was a miracle.”
It was.
Today, these many, many decades later, I find myself thinking a lot about what those poor women—and thousands upon thousands of others—endured at the hands of Nazi doctors. By 1942, the Nazi party included more than 38,000 German physicians, who helped carry out the party’s racial purity laws by performing forced sterilizations and “mercy” killings. These doctors believed that the well-being of society—not the individual — was what was most important. So removing anyone, by any means, who threatened that ideal was a justifiable act.
WHY I am thinking about them so often is because I have wrestled of late (as have many) with a difficult moral question: Is the effort to push and in some instances to FORCE the novel Covid-19 injections on populations analogous in ANY way to the ghastly medical experiments conducted on victims of the Holocaust? Can ANYTHING ever be compared to the level of the systematic human atrocities and beastly barbarism that the Nazis carried out in order to rid their society of what they called the “ünter-menschen”—the “sub-humans”?
I have finally settled on my own answer to this question, which I will articulate in a moment. Here’s how I came to it…
As the VP of Public Information for the Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), I know —through two-and-a-half years of regular and rigorous study of epidemiological data, scientific research, and medical evidence — that the mRNA Covid injections are exceedingly dangerous to human health and human life—both now and in future generations (due to well-documented reproductive and fertility issues.) Of this fact, I am 100% certain.
The breathtaking volume of the reports of injury and death from the injections should alarm every reasonable, thinking person on the planet — particularly physicians and healthcare providers. Though the number of reports are voluminous, it is estimated that these reports are but a fraction —as small as 1/5 by some estimations—of those who’ve experienced the negative effects of the Covid injections but have yet to officially document them on the CDC’s VAERS website. Despite all of this, public health agencies, government officials, and pharmaceutical companies with fat contracts to provide more and more of the shots and boosters coordinated with major media to persuade people that the injections are the only way to ensure that COVID will not kill you. They are NOT—and never have been. The EUAs (Emergency Use Authorizations) that were granted for the shots were fraudulently issued. There were effective, safe, inexpensive, globally available and scientifically proven ways to treat and save people—nullifying the imperative that EUAs are only to be issued if there are NO alternative treatments available. In fact, two FDA-approved medicines, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, had been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of Covid-19. The federal government suppressed this medical information that would have saved countless lives. That is a criminal act.
Through the coordinated censorship of those with opposing (and potentially lifesaving) viewpoints on the shots (including the FLCCC), the “official” government narrative on this issue became pretty much the only message to which most people have been exposed.
It was a lie. A potentially deadly lie.
Repeat a lie often enough, it will soon be perceived as truth.
That the Jews needed to be exterminated because they were the cause of all of Germany’s economic and societal woes was a lie too. But because other points of view in Hitler’s Germany were silenced, that too became the only message that the German people heard.
Perhaps you have seen essays and postings drawing comparisons between the human medical experiments conducted by the Nazis, and what many consider to be the global human medical experiment of the Covid-19 injections— which underwent little and grossly inadequate testing. Even the former Director of R&D for Pfizer confessed this fact saying, “We flew the airplane while we were still building it.”
Perhaps this is why Pfizer tried to hide their injection R&D and testing data for 75 years, though it was ultimately leaked. Unsurprisingly, these “comparison” essays have been controversial and polarizing. How can anyone believe that the two can be compared? How can anyone think that they CANNOT be correlated?
But there is a landmark, historic document on medical ethics that can be employed to discover for oneself if the crimes against humanity committed by the Nazis can be equated in any way to the crimes against humanity being committed by the purveyors, the censors and the promoters of the Covid-19 injections.
That historic document is known as The Nuremberg Code. Here’s how it came to be:
In 1947, twenty-three German physicians—including Adolph Hitler’s personal physician, and an architect of Hitler’s mass extermination program—stood trial in Nuremberg for war crimes and crimes against humanity in what became known as “The Doctors Trial.” The heinous crimes of which they were accused included medical experiments—without the subjects' consent— on prisoners of war and people of occupied countries. These brutal experiments often resulted in death of the subjects.
It was during the “Doctors Trial” that Dr. Andrew Ivy, an American doctor acting in an advisory capacity to the prosecution, submitted a memorandum to the United States Counsel for War Crimes which outlined six points defining legitimate research. The guilty verdict against 16 of the defendants on August 19, 1947 contained a reiteration of Dr. Ivy’s memorandum in a section entitled "Permissible Medical Experiments" — with the original six points expanded into ten points. Thus, the "Nuremberg Code” was born.
Since that time, the Nuremberg Code has become the most authoritative, internationally recognized document in the history of medical ethics. The code sets forth moral boundaries for research involving human beings.
“The Nuremberg Code: The 75th Anniversary Commemorative Edition” contains commentary by Holocaust survivor and medical rights advocate Vera Sherav with introductory notes by Ken McCarthy, the volume’s publisher. But mostly, this book is meant to put into our hands copies of the Nuremberg Code so that people can measure for themselves if basic human medical rights and ethics, as outlined in the code, have been violated in the era of Covid.
“The Nuremberg Code was the 20th century’s most important and most high profile attempt to articulate specific ethical guidelines to protect patients from systematic abuse by doctors, health care practitioners, and medical systems,” wrote Mr. McCarthy.
And Ms. Sherav offered this shocking observation: “This time, instead of Zyklon B gas (used for the mass extermination of Jews in the gas chambers of Hitler’s death camps) the weapons of mass destruction are genetically engineered injectable bioweapons masquerading as vaccines. This time, there will be no rescuers.”
Look at the summary points of the Nuremberg Code as you begin to weigh whether or not you believe crimes against humanity have been committed by proponents of the injections, or by mandates that force employees—even whole communities—to submit to the shots. Consider also whether other governmental measures such as forced isolation, the closing of schools and businesses and other restrictions during COVID also rise to the level of crimes that have been committed.
As I read through the tenets of the Nuremberg Code, I am soothed by them if—and only if—adherence to them is mandatory by law. Without legal codification, they become mere ethical “suggestions.” As it turns out, these “suggestions” have indeed been systematically ignored. Disturbingly, the Nuremberg Code has never found its way into becoming national law in the United States. Articulated below are just three ways that the Nuremberg Code—in my opinion— has been violated and foresworn by people with power and influence throughout the pandemic.
TENET 1: INFORMED CONSENT OF THE HUMAN SUBJECT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL
With Pfizer hiding their testing data, rising incidences of debilitating side effects and deaths (still being under-reported), science showing the safety and efficacy of repurposed drugs being demonized and silenced, and TV and social media commercials touting the safety and efficacy of the shots when there is mountainous evidence that the shots are neither safe nor efficacious, patients are ill-informed as to what is about to be injected into their bodies. WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION, CONSENT CANNOT BE GIVEN.
TENET 5: NO EXPERIMENT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED WHERE THERE IS AN A PRIORI (presumptive) REASON TO BELIEVE THAT DEATH OR DEBILITATING INJURY WILL OCCUR.
Peddlers of the tale (BIG PHARMA) that the shots are safe and effective produce deceptive marketing collateral showing happy, healthy people enjoying life with family and friends…oblivious to the fact that the serum romping through their veins may be lethal. The formerly “trusted” servants of the people—the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the WHO have all willingly and brazenly ignored the toxicity and life-threatening dangers to human health proven by mountains of scientific evidence they have elected to silence.
TENET 10: DURING THE COURSE OF THE EXPERIMENT, THE SCIENTIST MUST BE PREPARED TO TERMINATE THE EXPERIMENT IF THERE IS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ITS CONTINUATION IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN INJURY, DISABILITY OR DEATH TO THE SUBJECT.
I refer again to the evidence already cited that innumerable incidences of debilitation and death have occurred as a result of these injections. Why in God’s name have they not been stopped?
“In 1933, the primary target for discrimination were the Jews,” wrote Mr. McCarthy. “Today, the target is people who refuse to be injected with experimental, genetically engineered vaccines.”
Indeed, global medical systems and science itself were perverted by unbridled greed, power, and control— along with a soulless, damnable dearth of humanity.
So…here is how I have answered for myself the question posed earlier in this essay: Can (and should) ANYTHING ever be compared to the level of atrocities and barbarism that the Nazis carried out against those they called “sub-humans”?
Comparisons by “degree” of crimes against humanity fail to account for the infinite value of every human life.
The Holocaust — perpetrated on a massive scale and in large part by doctors, engineers, scientists, lawyers, industrialists and other murderous monsters who were part of a so-called “civilized” culture— was one of the most heinous and barbarous chapters in all of modern human history. On that, there can be NO debate. On this, we must all agree.
The lessons of the Holocaust cry out to us—imploring us to be ever-vigilant and to rise up against any who would knowingly inflict harm on another human being.
I know for certain that those who participated in the systematic, devastating harm of others throughout the pandemic were aware that what they were inflicting upon humankind was solely for want of money and power. Irrefutable scientific data confirms the odious offenses they’ve committed—and are still perpetrating despite the medical evidence demonstrating continuing, calamitous human health impacts. For this, they must be indicted and tried according to the tenets of the Nuremberg Code. On that, we should all agree.
As Mr. McCarthy points out in his brief volume, the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg Code has all but been forgotten—even by the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH). How interesting it is to note that during the 70th anniversary of the Nuremberg Code, the topic of the keynote address at the ASBH’s annual convention was indeed…the Nuremberg Code.
What has changed in five years? Here’s my guess: In late 2022—nearly three years into the Covid era, it became clear to the monied power brokers—led by Big Pharma, elected officials, public health agencies and corporate interests— that public discussion and prominent reflection on the critical importance of the Nuremberg Code must not be promulgated. That’s because whilst the eyes of the wider world are now starting to open, and the unmitigated evil that has been executed upon them is being exposed, the perpetrators are unbowed and unapologetic — for now. So you see, a global focus on medical ethics is not what the inhumane criminals need right now.
What IS needed RIGHT NOW is the legal codification of the Nuremberg Code.
Jay Katz, the late physician and Yale Law School professor who frequently wrote about issues of medical ethics observed that, “the Western world initially dismissed the Nuremberg Code as a ‘code for barbarians, but unnecessary (or superfluous) for ordinary physicians.’”
Indeed, the Nazis were inhumane, evil barbarians—and far, far worse than that. But now, “ordinary physicians”, frightened of running afoul of “official treatment guidance”, have relinquished their medical agency and abandoned their Hippocratic Oath to “First, do no harm” to the power brokers who hold the necks of their livelihoods in a prickly noose. Is this not barbarism too?
Congress, are you listening?
EPILOGUE
As I write this, I can still see the twin ladies’ arms reaching for the cookies and cakes on the Kiddish table after the Sabbath services —during which I believe they offered prayers of thanks to G-d that Sabbath morning for keeping them alive and for bringing them children. I hope the cakes—and their prayers—were both delicious in their sweetness…and that life remained so for the rest of their days. In their honor and memory, I dedicate this essay.
Wow! That was an excellent writing!! I wish everyone could read this. I will forward to many!! Thank you
Beautifully written - I thank you. My heart aches for the millions who have rolled up their sleeve for the experimental gene-editing bioweapon injection. I believe our GOD lives in the TRUTH & the Light of Truth will come to pass. "When governments fear the people, there is Liberty - when the people fear the gov't there is tyranny" ~ Ben Franklin. I will never stop speaking TRUTH to tyranny knowing we have GOD on our side ...
