The Nuremberg Code
With Vera Sharav
“This should be a medical and not be a military operation,” Holocaust survivor and medical ethics advocate Vera Sharav says of the Covid panic which has dramatically transfigured the world, including Australia. “It’s a public health problem. Why are the military and the CIA so heavily involved? Why is everything a secret? Why can’t we know the ingredients of these products, which the taxpayers financed? Why are all their emails redacted? Why can’t we see the contracts with vaccine manufacturers? Why are we mandating a treatment with an experimental technology with minimal testing? Since COVID-19 harms fewer than 1 percent, what is the justification for putting 100 percent of the population at risk? We need to recognise that this is a vast human experiment on all of mankind, with an unproven technology, conducted by spies and generals primarily trained to kill and not to save lives.”
The Nuremberg Code rejects the ideology of Eugenics and unequivocally asserts the primacy and dignity of the individual human being – as opposed to “the greater good of society.”
Vera Sharav, Holocaust survivor and human rights advocate, spoke at the 75th Anniversary Event of the Nuremberg Code in Nuremberg, Germany, last year.
It was almost 75 years before that the city of Nuremberg was the place of a historic declaration. When the judges of the military tribunal against leading medical officers in the Nazi administration passed their verdict, they issued what would become known as the Nuremberg Code.
A compelling line-up of international speakers travelled to Nuremberg to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of The Nuremberg Code. Now of all times, this achievement of mankind is facing the greatest hardship since it was written.
“I came to Nuremberg to provide historical context to the current global threat confronting our civilization. These past two and a half years have been especially stressful – as painful memories were rekindled.
In 1941, I was three and a half when my family was forced from our home in Romania and deported to Ukraine.
We were herded into a concentration camp – essentially left to starve. Death was ever-present. My father died of typhus when I was five.
In 1944, as the Final Solution was being aggressively implemented, Romania retreated from its alliance with Nazi Germany.
The government permitted several hundred Jewish orphans under the age of 12 to return to Romania. I was not an orphan; my mother lied to save my life.
I boarded a cattle car train – the same train that continued to transport Jews to the death camps – even as Germany was losing the war.
Four years elapsed before I was reunited with my mother.
The Holocaust serves as the archetypal symbol of unmitigated evil:
Moral norms and human values were systematically
The Nazi system destroyed the social
Millions of people were worked to death as slaves
Others were abused as experimental human guinea pigs
It did not begin in the gas chambers of Auschwitz and Treblinka.
It was preceded by nine years of incremental restrictions on personal freedom, and the suspension of legal rights and civil rights.
The stage was set by fear-mongering and hate-mongering propaganda.
A series of humiliating discriminatory government edicts demonised Jews as “spreaders of disease.” We were compared to lice.
The real viral disease that infected Nazi Germany is Eugenics:
Eugenics is the elitist ideology at the root of all
Eugenics is cloaked in a mantle of pseudo-science
It was embraced by the academic and medical establishment as well as the judiciary – in Germany and the United States.
Eugenicists justify social and economic inequality.
They legitimise discrimination, apartheid, sterilisation, euthanasia, and genocide. The Nazis called it “ethnic cleansing” for the protection of the gene pool.
Medicine was perverted from its healing mission and was weaponised.
First, it was to control reproduction through forced sterilization; then it was to eliminate those deemed to be “sub- human” – Untermenschen (a person considered racially or socially inferior).
The first victims of medical murder were 1,000 disabled German infants and toddlers. This murderous operation was expanded to an estimated 10,000 children up to age 17.
The next victims were the mentally ill; they were followed by the elderly in nursing homes. All of these human beings were condemned as “worthless eaters.”
Under Operation T-4, designated hospitals became killing stations where various extermination methods were tested – including Zyklon B, the gas that was used in the death camps.
The objective of the Nazi Final Solution was to annihilate the entire 11 million people of the Jewish Population of Europe as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The Nazis enacted discriminatory laws; they utilized modern technology; low-cost industrial methods; an efficient transportation system; and a highly trained bureaucracy that coordinated the industrial genocidal process.
The objective was high speed, maximum efficiency at the lowest cost.
The human casualties of this unprecedented genocide were
6 million Jews and 9 million other people whom the Nazis dehumanized as Untermenschen.
The purpose of Holocaust memorials is to warn and inform future generations about how an enlightened, civilized society can be transformed into a genocidal universe ruled by absolute moral depravity.
If we are to avert another Holocaust, we must identify ominous current parallels before they poison the fabric of society.
Since the Nazi era, the study of history and most of the humanities – including philosophy, religion, and ethics – has been overshadowed by an emphasis on utilitarian science and technology.
As a result, few people recognize the foreboding similarities between current policies and those under the Nazi regime.
By declaring a state of emergency, in 1933 and in 2020, constitutionally protected personal freedom, legal rights, and civil rights were swept aside. Repressive, discriminatory decrees followed.
In 1933, the primary target for discrimination were Jews.
Today, the target is people who refuse to be injected with experimental, genetically engineered vaccines.
Then and now, government dictates were crafted to eliminate segments of the population.
In 2020, government dictates forbade hospitals from treating the elderly in nursing homes. The result was mass murder.
Government decrees continue to forbid doctors to prescribe life-saving, FDA-approved medicines; government-dictated protocols continue to kill.
The media is silent – as it was then.
The media broadcasts a single, government-dictated narrative – just as it had under the Nazis. Strict censorship silences opposing views.
In Nazi Germany few individuals objected; those who did were imprisoned in concentration camps.
Today, doctors and scientists who challenge the approved narrative are maligned; their reputations trashed.
They risk losing their licenses to practice, as well as having their homes and workplaces raided by SWAT teams.
The moral significance of the Nuremberg Code cannot be overstated:
The Nuremberg Code is the most authoritative, internationally recognized document in the history of medical ethics.
This landmark document was formulated in response to the evidence of medical atrocities committed by Nazi physicians and scientists.
The Code sets forth moral boundaries for research involving human beings.
The Nuremberg Code rejects the ideology of Eugenics and unequivocally asserts the primacy and dignity of the individual human being – as opposed to “the greater good of society.”
American jurists who formulated the Nuremberg Code incorporated the official 1931 German “Guidelines for Human Experimentation” authored by Dr. Julius Moses.
Those Guidelines remained legally in force until 1945.
The Nazis violated them in their entirety. Dr. Moses, who was Jewish, was deported to Theresienstadt where he died.
The Nuremberg Code defined foundational, universal moral and legal standards, affirming fundamental human rights.
These human rights apply to every human being.
The Code sets limits on the parameters of permissible medical experiments.
Equally important, the Nuremberg Code holds doctors and research investigators personally responsible to ensure the human subjects’ safety, and to ensure that the person freely gives his voluntary, fully-informed consent.
The standards of the Nuremberg Code are incorporated in the International Criminal Code. They are legally applicable today – in peacetime and during war.
The objective of the Nuremberg Code is to ensure that medicine never again deviates from the precautionary ethical principle:
“First, do no harm.”
The Nuremberg Code has served as a blueprint for subsequent national and international codes of human rights – to ensure that the rights and dignity of human beings are upheld; and to ensure that medical doctors never again engage in morally abhorrent experiments.
Like the 10 Commandments, not a word of the Code may ever be changed.
The first of the 10 ethical principles lays down the foremost ethical requirement – which is spelled out in great detail:
“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, 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.
This requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject [he] should be [informed of] the
nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment;
the method and means by which it is to be conducted;
all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and
the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment.
It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.”
The genocidal culture that permeated the Nazi regime did not end in 1945. It metastasized in the United States.
At the end of the war, US government agents helped 1,600 high-ranking Nazi scientists, doctors, and engineers to evade justice at Nuremberg.
These Nazi technocrats facilitated the murderous Nazi operations. They were Hitler’s partners in crimes against humanity.
They were secretly smuggled into the US under Operation Paperclip.
This was in violation of explicit orders by President Harry Truman.
These Nazi criminals were placed in high-level positions at major American scientific and medical institutions where they continued their work.
What’s more, these Nazi technocrats trained a generation of American scientists, doctors, and engineers.
This is how Nazi methods and the immoral disregard for human values were entrenched in America.
In 1961, in his farewell address to the nation, President Dwight Eisenhower warned against the increasing dominance of
“the military-industrial complex” whose “total influence – economic, political, even spiritual – is felt [everywhere].”
Eisenhower warned: “we must be alert to the danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.”
In May 2022, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Klaus Schwab, the architect of the dystopian Great Reset, declared:
“Let’s be clear, the future is not just happening; the future is built by us, a powerful community here in this room. We have the means to impose the state of the world.”
The ultimate goal of these megalomaniacs is to gain total control of the world’s natural resources, financial resources, and to replace humans with Transhuman robots.
Transhumanism is a bio-tech-enhanced caste system – the New Eugenics.
Klaus Schwab’s lead advisor is Yuval Noah Harari, an Oxford University trained, Israeli. Harari is a proponent of the New Eugenics and Transhumanism.
Harari refers to humans as “hackable animals.” He declared: “We have the technology to hack humans on a massive scale.”
Harari despises the very concept of God.
Transhumanists despise human values, and deny the existence of a human soul.
Harari declares that there are too many “useless people.” The Nazi term was “worthless eaters.”
This is the New Eugenics.
It is embraced by the most powerful global billionaire technocrats who gather at Davos: Big Tech, Big Pharma, the financial oligarchs, academics, government leaders and the military industrial complex.
These megalomaniacs have paved the road to another Holocaust.
This time, the threat of genocide is Global in scale.
Instead of Zyklon B gas, the weapons of mass destruction are genetically engineered injectable bioweapons masquerading as vaccines.
Today, there will be no rescuers.
Unless All of Us Resist, Never Again is Now.”

The Nuremberg Code
1. 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.
This latter element requires that, before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject, there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment;
the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and
the effects upon his health or person, which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment.
It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.
2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study, that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
5. No experiment should be conducted, where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death
8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons.
The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
9. During the course of the experiment, the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end, if he has reached the physical or mental state, where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
10. During the course of the experiment, the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill, and careful judgement required of him, that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
