Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Doesn't this just figure from the military? Issues of safety, efficacy and necessity are considered irrelevant??!!!!! It's nice to know how little the soldier's health means to them. << Dr. Nass has not been permitted to testify as all issues relating to the safety, efficacy and necessity of the vaccine have been ruled irrelevant. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Unfortunately, where the USMJ is usually better than the civilian legal system, it is even more limited by the scope of the judicial view. Here the trial is seen as a violation of of one regulation - failure to follow a " legal order " . That sole charge is the fact at issue. It would be easier to attack the " legality of the order " than attempt a jury nullification {which works in a civilian jury system}. I have been trying to follow the Legality Issue by researching the Nuremberg Code as to whether or not it was a matter that was voted on by the Senate in a Treaty form or put into effect by Executive Order. If adopted by the treaty process, then, the adopted Nuremberg Code becomes Federal Law with power and strength over domestically pass local , state, or enacted federal law. There in lies the real test within the USMJ and there is where it should be attacked in a Military Law system.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Jon, Your post sparked my memory - I wonder whether The Belmont Report would be helpful to you. This follows the principles of the Nuremburg Code and was signed into law July 12, 1974. You can find the Belmont Report at: http://helix.nih.gov:8001/ohsr/mpa/belmont.phtml I hope this helps. Sincerely, Diodati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
