The claim
In connection with the Covid-19 vaccination, the Nuremberg Code is being misused as evidence of an alleged medical experiment on millions of people.
Our conclusion
The Covid-19 vaccination does not constitute a violation of the Nuremberg Code as it was properly tested, approved and administered on a voluntary basis.
The common claim
One claim that keeps cropping up on social media, particularly in vaccination-critical circles, is the application of the Nuremberg Code to Covid-19 vaccinations. This code is often used as an argument against vaccination, falsely claiming that the vaccination is part of a human medical experiment that was carried out without the consent of those affected.

The fact check
The Nuremberg Code , formulated in 1947 in response to the Nazis' medical experiments, establishes ethical principles for medical experiments on humans. This includes the voluntary consent of the test subjects and the prohibition of unnecessary physical and mental suffering.
The development and approval of the Covid-19 vaccines followed strict international guidelines for medical research and drug approval. The vaccines were developed and tested according to standard scientific and ethical standards and were finally approved under conditions by the relevant authorities such as the EMA (European Medicines Agency) based on their safety and effectiveness. All clinical studies were conducted with volunteer participants who were informed about the study and possible risks.

Question 1: Is the application of the Nuremberg Code to the Covid-19 vaccine justified?

Question 3: What exactly do the guidelines of the Nuremberg Code say?
Answer 3: The Nuremberg Code establishes ethical standards for medical experiments, including the voluntary consent of participants and the minimization of risks and harm.
Question 4: Why is the Nuremberg Code incorrectly associated with vaccinations?
Answer 4: This often occurs as part of misinformation and conspiracy theories aimed at stoking distrust in official health measures.
Question 5: What role does social media play in spreading these false claims?
Answer 5: Social media makes it easier for misinformation to spread quickly because it is often shared without thorough fact-checking.
Conclusion
It is important that the public is informed about the actual framework and processes of medical research in order to avoid misinformation, such as the incorrect application of the Nuremberg Principle.
