Nuremberg code turns 60
Bioethics experts Paul Weindling and Volker Roelcke suggest that current bioethical thinking may use an incomplete picture of the historical context of the Nuremberg code. Volker Roelcke writes: “rather than being the result of a coercive state, Nazi medicine illustrates how medical researchers and their representative bodies […] co-operated with and even manipulated a totalitarian state and political system relying on expert opinion, in order to gain resources for the conduct of research without any moral and legal regulation.” He states that Nazi doctors “followed the intrinsic logic of their scientific disciplines and used the legally and ethically unrestricted access to human beings created by the context of the political system and the conditions of war.”4 By centring exclusively on the war crimes and not on their broader context, the judges at Nuremberg issued the code in order solely to set the boundaries for “permissible experiments” and tackle the difficult question of the biomedical research conducted on human subjects outside Germany during the war. The court thus failed to produce a broader legal doctrine protecting individuals against harm induced by scientific practices at large, including not only human beings as subjects of medical experiments but also as consumers and beneficiaries of science’s outcomes.
‘Dry’ Humour
I saw a post that said Victorians have lost confidence in the Premier.
I thought to myself,
‘That’s gotta be the greatest understatement since Noah’s neighbour leaned over the fence and said to him, “Bit wet this year Noah! Gonna be hard to get the washing dry.”‘
Government Mandated Trail Mix
Government: Your child needs to eat this trail mix. It is very healthy. If they don’t eat it, we have the right to deny them basic government services.Moms: Oh! Ok. What’s in it?Government: You don’t need to know that. It is very healthy. It will make them healthy. The entire scientific community agrees.Moms: (looks up nutritional facts label online) WHOA. There’s aluminum, formaldehyde, known carcinogens and aborted fetal stem cells in that trail mix. How can that be safe?Government: Don’t look at that. Trust us. It’s very safe. Trail mix makes your kids healthy AND as a result, the whole world healthy.Moms: Oh! So there’s been safety studies?Government: …………Moms: Like, studies that show that each ingredient is safe? That maybe compare children long term who have and have not eaten the trail mix? That have made sure that children with compromised immune systems or common genetical differences won’t have any short or long term issues as a result of eating this trail mix?Government: ………Moms: Ok, so if my kid DOES have a reaction to this trail mix, can I sue the manufacturer for liability?Government: No. We have exempted them from all liability.Moms: Wait…who IS the manufacturer of this trail mix?Government: Just the top four snack manufacturers. They make all snacks.Moms: Don’t those guys get sued all the time? Haven’t they been convicted of falsifying research? Bribing government officials? And now you have exempted them from all liability on this trail mix?!?Government: Yes. But this product is healthy and very safe.Moms: But what if my kid DOES have a reaction? The nutritional label lists all sorts of horrible possible side effects.Government: They won’t. Or if they do, we’ll try our best to convince you it was just a coincidence. If you’re REALLY persistent, we might award you some money.Moms: How much money have you given so far to parents of children who had reactions?Government: Eh…4 billion or so.Moms: 4 BILLION?!? What percentage of reactions do you think are reported?Government: About 1%, we figure.Moms: Wait, wait, wait. So kids ARE having reactions….there have been NO unbiased, double blind placebo tested safety studies, the manufacturers have been exempted from all liability, those same manufacturers have been convicted of bribing officials & falsifying research, the ingredients (once I found them on my own since you wouldn’t provide me the nutritional label) are concerning, and you STILL WANT MY KID TO EAT THIS TRAIL MIX?Government: Yes. It is very healthy.#justasking#believemothers#trueinformedconsent#somethingsmellsfishy#educatebeforeyouvaccinate#learntheriskscopy and pasteSpread the word Everyone needs to know
The medical profession are straying far too far from the “do no harm” principle! Example 2
Dr Leland Stillman says a COVID-19 vaccine should not be mandatory, and getting people to take it “serves certain special interests.”
The medical profession are straying far too far from the “do no harm” principle! Example 1
Stay as far away from a psychiatrist as possible. ANY contact with them is potentially injurious to your health. They have NO scientific basis for their labels and their treatments are nothing but destructive.
Weapons Of Mass Deception
Michael Leunig Cartoon – The World Has Gone Mad
Mark Farrelly said of it (and with him I agreewhole heartedly):
Nobody in the world can sum up the current world situation more eloquently than the sublimely talented Mr Michael Leunig. There is more sanity and truth in this cartoon than millions of words uttered in recent times, because it shows so beautifully the greatest threat to us all is not the virus itself, but the fear of it which is being so ruthlessly exploited by media, government, international “health” organisations and anyone with a vested interest in keeping people frightened. Recognise that anyone who is telling you to “stay safe”, “take care” or any other similar message right now, or who is reminding you of deaths or “cases” or any such thing only has one intention in mind, to make you believe the environment is far more dangerous than it actually is.
