Stanley Kramer's Rivetting movie, Judgment At Nuremberg: Still Relevant Today
One of the great movies of the 1960s was Judgment At Nuremberg. I remember seeing it when it was released in 1961––yes, I'm showing my age. The movie was a riveting, mostly courtroom drama, though three hours in length. It featured some stunning performances from Spencer Tracy, Maximilian Schell, Burt Lancaster, Marlene Dietrich and a young William Shatner (Captain Kirk).
The movie, though fictional, was based on history. It is about a trial of former Nazi judges and prosecutors who allowed the regime's atrocities to take place. In reality, there were a series of trials, and out of these, the Nuremberg Code was born.
We have heard a lot about the Nuremberg Code since the Covid vaccine rollout. There are arguments about whether the Code applies to the current crop of vaccines.
The first article of the Code specifies the following:
"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."

Obviously, the vaccine mandates and "No jab, No job" policy in many industries is coercive and contravenes the Code. The only question is whether or not the vaccines constitute medical experimentation.
Governments worldwide seem to ignore this fact even though most have authorized the use of the vaccines. Some countries have banned certain ones due to the deleterious effects on the body.
Another document, the Helsinki Agreement, further establishes the rules of medical ethics. This is what items 6 and 8 state:
6. The primary purpose of medical research involving human subjects is to improve prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and the understanding of the aetiology and pathogenesis of disease. Even the best proven prophylactic, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods must continuously be challenged through research for their effectiveness, efficiency, accessibility and quality.
8. While the primary purpose of medical research is to generate new knowledge, this goal can never take precedence over the rights and interests of individual research subjects.
Just because a government authorizes the use of a vaccine, it doesn't mean they're not experimental. There has been no long term testing of these biological agents. Bringing a vaccine to market in under a year is not long term.
We don't know the implication of genetic modification. Will there be an increase in autoimmune diseases? Will there be more cancers? Some scientists believe that there will be an increase in infertility. The fact is, we just don't know.
The social media "fact-checkers" will continue with their spurious claim that the vaccines are safe. Facebook, Twitter and the like will scold you if you state, the vaccines are experimental. They will classify such statements as fake news and conspiracy theories.
Meanwhile, the deaths and adverse events across the world keep piling up. If the Swine Flu vaccine program of 1976 was a debacle, the whole Covid vaccination campaign is a coercive calamity. It contravenes the very nature of what we consider human rights.
We have learned nothing from both the Nuremberg Code and Judgment At Nuremberg.
