Discussion on Nuremberg Code and Medical Mandates
To this issue of people arguing there was no mandate, um,
uh, the-
Yeah
... reality is we codified this in the
Nuremberg Code after the Second
World War based on atrocities that occurred there under the name
of medicine and science. And specifically, the Nuremberg
Code says you may not mandate, coerce, or otherwise,
by fear of reprisal,
compel someone to participate in a medical experiment.
In other words, it doesn't have to be an actual written
mandate.
In many cases it was,
but it doesn't have to be an actual written mandate.
If you say to somebody, "You're going to lose your job," or, "You
can't travel. You won't be able to go to school.
You'll lose your military pension," and on and on and on, that
is fear of reprisal. That is coercion.
Uh, and that is clearly against-- It was a, a gross
violation of the Nuremberg Code, uh, in addition to medical ethics
in general.
It's the whole thing.
