The claim

Sharepics claims that due to the Nuremberg Code, people cannot be forced or coerced into medical treatment.

Our conclusion

People may well be forced to undergo medical treatment under certain, strict circumstances. However, the COVID-19 vaccinations are not such forced treatments.

Anti-vaxxers keep throwing around the Nuremberg Code as if it were an all-purpose weapon against COVID-19 vaccinations, but apparently most have not even read the Code, let alone understood it.
This is well illustrated by various sharepics that claim that because of the code, people cannot be forced or coerced into medical treatment. However, that is wrong!

The Sharepics

Here are two of the various sharepics with the above claim:

Sharepics with the claim about the Nuremberg Code
Sharepics with the claim about the Nuremberg Code

The pictures say:

“The Nuremberg Code was introduced so that people would never again be FORCED or COERCED to undergo medical treatment.”

Opponents of vaccination, for example, see compulsory vaccination in certain professions as coercion or coercion, otherwise one would be “excluded”.
Let's first examine the question of whether one can be forced to undergo medical treatment at all, and the answer is quite clear:

Yes, you can be forced to undergo medical treatment!

And no, that doesn't contradict the Nuremberg Code , but we'll get to that in a moment. Under certain circumstances, a medical act may actually be forced:

  • In Germany, coercive medical measures are only permitted as part of an inpatient stay in a clinic (not in a home and not on an outpatient basis!). This must be expressly approved by the court, and the court must also hear the person concerned personally beforehand. Forced treatment may only be given if there is danger to oneself. More information about this HERE and HERE .
  • In Austria, regulated by the Prison Act in Section 69 (see HERE ) and by Section 37 of the Accommodation Act (see HERE Here too, if a person is endangering themselves or is unable to make decisions, they may be treated without a declaration of intent.

And what exactly does the Nuremberg Code say?

The Nuremberg Code emerged from the Nuremberg Trial, at the end of which on August 20, 1947, several Nazi doctors were sentenced to death sentences and prison sentences for their experiments and euthanasia murders on concentration camp prisoners.

The process has now resulted in 10 medical ethical principles ( see HERE ), which should be followed by doctors globally.
In short the principles are:

  1. The voluntary consent of the test subject is absolutely necessary.
  2. The experiment must be designed in such a way that fruitful results for the good of society can be expected, which cannot be achieved through other research means or methods.
  3. The experiment must be planned and based on the results of animal experiments and natural knowledge about the disease or research problem in such a way that the expected results justify carrying out the experiment.
  4. The experiment must be carried out in such a way that all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and damage is avoided.
  5. No experiment may be carried out if it can be reasonably assumed from the outset that it will lead to death or permanent damage, with the exception of those experiments in which the experimenter also serves as a test subject.
  6. The threat must never go beyond the limits dictated by the humanitarian significance of the problem to be solved.
  7. Adequate preparation and appropriate devices must be provided to protect the subject from even the slightest possibility of injury, permanent harm or death.
  8. The experiment may only be carried out by scientifically qualified persons. The greatest skill and caution must be exercised at all stages of the experiment by those who lead or carry out the experiment.
  9. During the experiment, the test subject must be free to end the experiment if he or she has reached a point physically or mentally at which it seems impossible to continue.
  10. During the course of the experiment, the experimenter must be prepared at any time to terminate the experiment if, based on the good faith required of him, his special experience and his careful judgment, he suspects that continuing the experiment would result in injury, permanent damage or death could result in the test subject.

The Nuremberg Code refers entirely to medical experiments on humans, not to tested and authorized vaccines that are intended to save human lives, so citing the Code is inappropriate - unless you are of the opinion that the COVID -19 vaccines are a huge, global human experiment.

Conclusion

People may well be forced to undergo medical treatment under certain, strict circumstances. However, the COVID-19 vaccinations are not such forced treatments. In addition, the Nuremberg Code is not about forced medical treatments, but rather about forced medical experiments on people - which vaccinations are not.
