Three weeks until the judgment and a request for reader feedback
The Nuremberg Code turns 75 years old on the 19th of August, 2022.
Four weeks from today (back in 1947) the judges of Doctors’ Trial will reconvene to render their verdicts. When they do, they will articulate to the world what became known as The Nuremberg Code: ten principles of medical ethics that form the backdrop of acceptable behavior and the lens through which they evaluated the evidence in determining the relative guilt and innocence of the 23 Nazi defendants. Until then the defendants awaited their fate in the Nuremberg jail.
In our modern world of 2022 that means The Nuremberg Code will turn 75 years old on Friday, August 19, 2022.
Each Friday, for the next three weeks, I would like to solicit some feedback from those who’ve followed along with the trial thus far, beginning with:
Suggestions for how to commemorate and raise awareness of the upcoming anniversary of the Nuremberg Code?
What have you learned by following the trial? What most surprised you?
Has learning about the past influenced how you see and interpret contemporary events?
Having followed the Doctors' Trial for these past several months and having read RFK Jr.'s "The Real Anthony Fauci" during the same time, I can only conclude that if medical freedom and autonomy is to survive there are a whole lot of public health leaders and big pharma executives who deserve no less than these Nazi doctors: substantial jail sentences, and, in some cases, the death penalty.
