Methodist Hospital employees sue over vaccine requirement, citing violation of Nuremberg Code
by Robert Downen, Updated: May 28, 2021 2:55 p.m.
In a lawsuit filed Friday in Montgomery County District Court, 117 Methodist employees allege the rule violates their rights under the Nuremberg Code, a set of medical ethics standards that were created in response to Nazi atrocities during World War II.
They allege that, because the three major vaccines have only been approved for “emergency use” by the Federal Drug Administration, they should not be required to take them in order to work for the healthcare provider.
The hospital employs about 26,000 people total, spokesperson Patti Muck said.
The plaintiffs are being represented by Jared Woodfill, a prominent attorney and former chairman of the Harris County GOP who has launched numerous legal challenges related to the pandemic, including a ban on in-person worship services last year.
Woodfill accused the hospital of forcing employees to be “human guinea pigs as a condition for employment.”
He also took issue with marketing materials in which he said the hospital noted its vaccine policy. Woodfill said that shows the hospital’s policy is rooted in financial interests, and accused Methodist CEO Marc Boom of “putting profits over employees to promote Methodist.”
Woodfill said the plaintiffs include some nurses, but that most are not healthcare providers. None are doctors, he said.
In a statement, Boom said 99 percent of Methodist’s 26,000 employees have met the requirements for the hospital’s vaccine rule, and said vaccines are part of the “sacred obligation” required of health care workers.
“It is unfortunate that the few remaining employees who refuse to get vaccinated and put our patients first are responding in this way,” Boom said. “It is legal for health care institutions to mandate vaccines, as we have done with the flu vaccine since 2009. The COVID-19 vaccines have proven through rigorous trials to be very safe and very effective and are not experimental.”

Those hospitals are EMPLOYERS. It's pretty well established they can require what they want as a condition of EMPLOYMENT.
As long as they're not acting in the function of government/ the state - arresting/ jailing/ executing people - I'd wonder if Nuremberg applies.

Quote:The chairman of the Harris County GOP wanted to call Democrats a bunch of Nazis, so he brought up the Nuremberg Code. The Code applies to all people, in or out of government, but its not being broken by vaccinating for Covid-19. The chairman of the GOP will lose this case because he doesn't know what he is talking about.

The Nuremberg Code and its impact on clinical research
This written document established 10 ethical principles for protecting human subjects. The Nuremberg Code is one of several foundational documents that influenced the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
The first trial conducted under the Nuremberg Military Tribunals in 1947 became known as The Doctors’ Trial, in which 23 physicians from the German Nazi Party were tried for crimes against humanity for the atrocious experiments they carried out on unwilling prisoners of war.
The 10 ethical principles are listed at https://www.massdevice.com/the-nuremberg-code-and-its-impact-on-clinic

Are they principles or law?
Because if not law, then Nuremberg doesn't apply in the courts.

Quote:Nuremberg does apply in the courts. In a civil trial, the plaintiffs' lawyers don't spend much of their time reading out loud from the law books. Instead, that GOP Chairman, who is also a lawyer, would be reading the Nuremberg Code to a jury in order to persuade them. Then the lawyer for Methodist Hospital would persuade the jury that his esteemed colleague who is suing the hospital is misunderstanding the meaning of the Code. There will probably be an expert witness to explain the Code, but you can read it yourself and come to your own understanding of its meaning:

Just about any judge would be fascinated by the Nuremberg code and would allow it to be used in a trial, assuming the GOP Chairman actually had a point he was making other than that all Democrats are Nazis, as the Nuremberg Code says they are.

Oh Shit... The plot thickens.
It took me a while of researching this to verify that townhall.com wasn't just making shit up. That's because they don't have any real journalists there and offered no citations, instead just linking to an article behind a paywall at theaustrailian.com.au that they basically plagiarized word for word.
Here's the townhall article:
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2021/05/28/bombshell-fauci-
said-studying-bat-viruses-was-worth-a-potential-pandemic-n2590169
Here's the paywall AU article:

riments-despite-pandemic-risk/news-story/3c604681cfcbfeda88bac25e372a1b8a
Here's an archive.today snapshot of that AU article that you can read without the paywall:

What is the AU article missing, I hear you ask?
The fucking citation to the mystery paper that Fauci wrote in 2012.
But guess what I found...

Somebody ought to offer me a job. I'm so much better than most people are at the careers they've been fumbling their whole lives.
I even archived it twice in case the Leftist Globalists want to try erasing it.
