Full Context there is pretty important ...

Nuremberg Code - Wikipedia

Actually, there isn't".

Lol....

I see your point, but I think they usually have a “medical expert“ on their staff giving them “expert” information.
For example, our Governor, the esteemed & honorable Governor Tom Wolf has the esteemed & honorable doctor Rachel Levine on his staff (I hear she is actually a pediatric psychiatrist)
Even with this “heavyweight epidemiologist“ of his staff, he is still arbitrary and capricious. :laughing:

Finest epidemic managers there is, they both deserve a long walk off a short pier.

Do you know what the Nuremberg code is?

It's a set of guiding principles for performing research on human subjects, to protect them from abuse, which was developed after the **** war crimes trials. It forms the basis for all modern day research involving human subjects, as is based on 10 principles.

The full text can be found here:

Library of Congress (.gov) › ...PDF

Trials of War Criminals before Nuernberg, Nuremberg Military Tribunals under ...

To save reading through 1,000 pages, skip to page 181, which outlines the 10 principles.

Note, there is no "Article 6 section 3" as you have stated.

There is a point number 6, but no additional discussion of face masks.

You are unwittingly spreading false information.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

So why was the state of Wisconsin mandating the wearing of masks on teleconferences? The placebo effect. To make other people feel better about masks. If it makes you feel better, wear them.

Virtue signalers unite!

You imply "I believe", Where do you get such notions?

I encourage YOU to think for yourself. As I do ;-)

As I mentioned in my post, this is hard for individuals to believe, which is understandable in today's climate. But, to try to convince you, there are two things to think about.

1) I am directly involved in scientific research. I can honestly, and with a clear conscience, say that never in my 20+ years of education and work in the field, have I ever seen any decision made that could even slightly be interpreted as being motivated by political agendas. This may be different in social science fields (I don't know as I'm not involved in them), but within engineering? Never once.

2) Ok, you don't know me, and maybe don't trust me. Fine. Let's look at the motivations. As a scientist/researcher, you are entirely judged and evaluated on the science that you perform, and are held to a very high standard on the ethical nature of your work. To be compromised by any political agenda would immediately discredit you and your work, and make you an instant pariah in the field. I don't know anyone that would find that an acceptable risk.

This is actually one of the discussions in the scientific community that has revolved around Fauci and his involvement with the white house. Namely, have his efforts to walk a narrow line where he focuses on the science, but has to do so without angering the white house, compromised his ethics and his credibility?

Every researcher continually evaluates and asks themselves if they have compromised their ethics to safeguard against any improprieties from undue influence.

Well, you are the one posting false and incorrect information, and holding it up as truth.
