Do You Trust Your Doctor? - Preventing History From Repeating: Medical Ethics and the Doctors' Trials
Remembering the Doctors' Trial (U.S. v Karl Brandt) and the Nuremberg code of ethical research principles when experimenting on human subjects and how preventing history from repeating may be the main way to save the cannabis industry from the greedy and destructive hands of the powerful.
In the past 3 months we've had at least three main sources of medical information leak entire records of patients offering no more than free credit monitoring to those whom’s information has been compromised, including billions of DNA leaks with 23andme. We've been dancing medical lines in between Medical professionals, banks, and even your favorite developers apps such as MyChart, powered by EPIC. BetterHelp, an online therapy service, settled a lawsuit
with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in March 2023 over allegations
that it shared consumers' sensitive health data with third parties for
advertising... yet still shares if not overpowers the save influencer and advertiser base that we do. Normal shops and businesses don't have to deal with this.(1)
Do you trust your doctor?
Fritz Ernst Fischer (5 October 1912 – 2003) was a Nazi German medical doctor who performed medical atrocities on inmates of the Ravensbrück concentration camp. He was tried and convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the 1947 Doctors' Trial; he was sentenced to life imprisonment, but his sentence was commuted to 15 years and he was released in 1954.
In Nazi Germany, German physicians planned and enacted the Euthanasia Program, the systematic killing of those they deemed "unworthy of life." The victims included the institutionalized mentally ill and physically impaired.
Further, during World War II, German physicians conducted pseudoscientific medical experiments utilizing thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent. Most died or were permanently impaired as a result. Jews, Poles, Russians, and Roma (Gypsies) were the most common victims of experimentation. (2)
The Doctors' Trial (officially United States of America v. Karl Brandt, et al.) was the first of 12 trials for war crimes of high-ranking German officials and industrialists that the United States authorities held in their occupation zone in Nuremberg, Germany, after the end of World War II. These trials were held before US military courts, not before the International Military Tribunal, but took place in the same rooms at the Palace of Justice. The trials are collectively known as the "subsequent Nuremberg trials", formally the "Trials of War Criminals before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals" (NMT). (3)
Karl Brandt was the right hand physician to Hitler and subject of the book, Karl Brandt: The Nazi Doctor - Medicine and Power in the Third Reich.
Twenty of the 23 defendants were medical doctors and were accused of having been involved in Nazi human experimentation and mass murder under the guise of euthanasia. The indictment was filed on 25 October 1946; the trial lasted from 9 December that year until 20 August 1947.
Of the 23 defendants, seven were acquitted and seven received death sentences; the remainder received prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment.
Twenty of the 23 defendants were medical doctors (Viktor Brack, Rudolf Brandt, and Wolfram Sievers were Nazi officials), and were accused of having been involved in Nazi human experimentation and mass murder under the guise of euthanasia. Philip Bouhler, Ernst-Robert Grawitz, Leonardo Conti, and Enno Lolling died by suicide, while Josef Mengele, one of the leading Nazi doctors, had evaded capture.
The judges, heard before Military Tribunal I, were Walter B. Beals (presiding judge) from Washington, Harold L. Sebring from Florida, and Johnson T. Crawford from Oklahoma, with Victor C. Swearingen, a former special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, as an alternate judge. The Chief of Counsel for the Prosecution was Telford Taylor and the chief prosecutor was James M. McHaney. In his opening statement, Taylor summarized the crimes of the defendants.
"The defendants in this case are charged with murders, tortures, and other atrocities committed in the name of medical science. The victims of these crimes are numbered in the hundreds of thousands. A handful only are still alive; a few of the survivors will appear in this courtroom. But most of these miserable victims were slaughtered outright or died in the course of the tortures to which they were subjected. For the most part they are nameless dead. To their murderers, these wretched people were not individuals at all. They came in wholesale lots and were treated worse than animals.”
The accused faced four charges, including:
1. Conspiracy to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity as described in counts 2 and 3;
2. War crimes: performing medical experiments, without the subjects' consent, on prisoners of war and civilians of occupied countries, in the course of which experiments the defendants committed murders, brutalities, cruelties, tortures, atrocities, and other inhuman acts. Also planning and performing the mass murder of prisoners of war and civilians of occupied countries, stigmatized as aged, insane, incurably ill, deformed, and so on, by gas, lethal injections, and diverse other means in nursing homes, hospitals, and asylums during the Euthanasia Program and participating in the mass murder of concentration camp inmates.
3. Crimes against humanity: committing crimes described under count 2 also on German nationals.
4. Membership in a criminal organization, the SS.
The tribunal largely dropped count 1, stating that the charge was beyond its jurisdiction.
All of the criminals sentenced to death were hanged on 2 June 1948 at Landsberg Prison.
For some, the difference between receiving a prison term and the death sentence was membership in the SS, "an organization declared criminal by the judgment of the International Military Tribunal". However, some SS medical personnel received prison sentences. The degree of personal involvement and/or presiding over groups involved was a factor in others. (4)
The Nuremberg Code (German: Nürnberger Kodex) is a set of ethical research principles for human experimentation created by the court in the Doctors Trials U.S. v Brandt, one of the Subsequent Nuremberg trials that were held after the Second World War.
Though it was articulated as part of the court's verdict in the trial, the Code would later become significant beyond its original context; in a review written on the 50th anniversary of the Brandt verdict, Jay Katz writes that "a careful reading of the judgment suggests that [the authors] wrote the Code for the practice of human experimentation whenever it is being conducted."
The Code has not been officially accepted as law by any nation or as official ethics guidelines by any association. In fact, the Code's reference to Hippocratic duty to the individual patient and the need to provide information was not initially favored by the American Medical Association. Katz observes that the Western world initially dismissed the Nuremberg Code as a "code for barbarians, but unnecessary (or superfluous) for ordinary physicians." As if they couldn't fathom American medicine becoming so foul.
Additionally, the final judgment did not specify whether the Code should be applied to cases such as political prisoners, convicted felons, and healthy volunteers.
However, the Code is considered by some to be the most important document in the history of clinical research ethics, because of its massive influence on global human rights. In the United States, the Code and the related Declaration of Helsinki influenced the drafting of regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services to ensure ethical treatment of human research subjects, known as the Common Rule, which is now codified in Part 46 of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations are enforced by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). In 1966, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was adopted by the United Nations, and after enough nations had ratified the Covenant, it came into force on 23 March 1976. Article Seven prohibits experiments conducted without the "free consent to medical or scientific experimentation" of the subject.
In all variations however, the concept still stands that, The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. (5)
The original Nuremberg Code consisted of 10 points that we've summarized below;
1. Patient consent is necessary.
2. Experiments should only be done if they can yield fruitful results that cannot be obtained in any other method of study.
3. All experiments must be designed and based on animal experiments and knowledge of the disease or area of study.
4. AVOID all UNNECESSARY PHYSICAL or MENTAL SUFFERING to the patient.
5. No experiment that ends in disability or death.
6. The risk factor should not exceed the importance of the problem to be solved.
7. Proper preparation should be made and Facilities should be provided to protect the subject against remote possibility of injury, disability, or death.
8. All human trials should be done under the watch of only scientifically qualified persons.
9.The human subject has the Liberty to end experiments if they feel they reach the physical or mental state making them able to continue or complete said experiment.
10.The scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiments at any stage if harm to the patient becomes likely.
This set of rules became known as our common law and it has influenced such structures as HIPAA, the health and medical fields, and even the way that we do scientific studies in America. (6)
This document ensures that history does not repeat itself and we do not subsequently sacrifice humanity to bad people under the guise of medical care and scientific study.
When we give people power they will use that power and it won't always be for the benefit of the greater good. Respected individuals are not infallible. The word doctor does not mean that they are not greedy, evil, or selfish. It means that they studied pills at a college paid for by pill pushers. Thinning the veil of superiority between doctor and patient helps us to realize that doctors are people that are given power over other people, and sometimes they will abuse that power.
In today's day and age of covid and Dr Fauci and vaccines, we really want everyone to wake up to the possibility that history repeats itself. Silencing victims makes you no better than the nazi doctors who thought they had the right to human lives, your jobs, your freedom, and your ability to breathe fresh air.
Noticing the patterns and the similarities are important. It gives us a reason to stand together and deny allowing doctors to gain a function of our lives and our finances.
NHC is highly involved in medical Health as well as medical marijuana and seeing the patterns makes us nervous. An election is coming up and many people have obtained month long bans on facebook again, for nothing. Youtube is also ONCE AGAIN censoring people like Joe Rogan and no one seems to be able to speak about it. (7)
As it is, Baldwin lab owners just plead guilty to a multi-million dollar covid (8), Gates is being brought in to stand trial in regards to covid(9), and square is only allowing Payment Processing for four corners, but not the manufacturers of the property, it looks like you've got a cycle that repeats and the name Brandt just so happens to be involved again.
Sometimes it feels like history just repeats itself… Is your deep State just Nazi Germany? (10)
Is it possible that you're using government officials to harm people and that's not what America was built on? Should Block Inc be broken up? Should there be an investigation into fintech? (11)
With the use of government officials and medical professionals, it sure does feel like a pattern. When history repeats itself, flip the script.
Be louder than your weed and stay educated!
