Some social media posts evoke the Nuremberg Code to argue against vaccinations and vaccine passports. We spoke to experts about the code, which was created in response to Nazi atrocities, and whether there's any basis for using it to talk about Covid-19.

The Nuremberg Code is about the active experimentation on humans, for the most part during some sort of clinical trial of some description. The Nuremberg Code was created in 1947 in Nuremberg, Germany.

Following the trial of a group of Nazi doctors accused of conducting inhumane and often deadly experiments on prisoners of concentration camps without their consent. At the conclusion of what’s also referred to as ‘The Doctors Trial’, 16 people were found guilty." - Full Fact

So when we talk about Pfizer or AstraZeneca [vaccines], we’re out of the auspices of the Nuremberg Code because this is a product that has been trialled, with appropriate ethics in place, and has been approved and is now in production and being used globally.” - Dr. Alexis Paton to fact-checked.

Some anti vaccines campaigners came up with the Nuremberg code to argue leniency on restrictions on those who refuse to be vaccinated. Exemptions on vaccines passport and code might deny them of a total freedom simply because of their different views on the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to fore front a lot of conspiracies and theories, this is another one of it latest upheaval. Hopefully the world will see the end of the infamous virus.
