Alaska House rejects vote on Nuremberg code pushed by COVID vaccine skeptics

Sep. 13—JUNEAU — The Alaska House of Representatives declined to vote Saturday on the validity of the 1947 Nuremberg code, turning down a request from Republican members of the House.

Some opponents of COVID-19 vaccination, including far-right U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, a Republican of Georgia, incorrectly cite vaccination efforts as a violation of the code, which was created in the wake of Nazi atrocities.

The Nuremberg code, drafted after the fall of Nazi Germany, is a series of principles that define ethical medical treatment and research. The code encompasses 10 points, including the requirement that an experiment involve the informed, voluntary consent of its subjects.

COVID-19 vaccinations, even those authorized under emergency-use permission, have gone through clinical trials and are not experimental. Participants in those trials did so on a voluntary basis, and no steps in the approval process were skipped.

2. US never adopted the Nuremberg Code. Iraq war violated it.

And vaccines approved for use don’t violate it.
