First and foremost, the right to informed consent stands out as the critical ethical point of Nuremberg. Some have laboured away at trying to force understanding of informed consent as conditional upon the performance of experimentation—and thus cannot be applied to mandatory “vaccination” in the present (“because the vaccines are not experimental”). This is both false and illogical. It is illogical because anthropological fieldworkers do not engage in medical experimentation as such, and yet the Nuremberg-derived principle of informed consent still applies. Nobody in Anthropology argues that “informed consent” does not apply because what we do is not experimental. The assertion is also based on a plain, easily disproven falsehood: that the gene therapies are not experimental. The most basic definition of “experimental” involves the trial of a new product which has not yet been finalized. The mRNA gene therapies that are the subject of “vaccine” mandates in North America and elsewhere, are currently undergoing Phase 3 human trials—and those trials do not end until next year. Indeed, the FDA itself indicated that Pfizer had yet to complete 13 safety trials, some of which do not end until 2025. These trial products are thus only authorized for “emergency use” (which inevitably brings up debate about the real nature of this “emergency” and whether the term is warranted)....
