@APFactCheck "AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The Nuremberg Code, a set of ethical research principles created after World War II in response to atrocities committed by Nazi scientists, concern research involving human subjects, not public health interventions." WhooBoy... 1/

2/ "research involving human subjects, not public health interventions." Er. So, the 'public' in public health are not humans?

3/ "But Germany’s new COVID-19 measures don’t violate the Nuremberg Code, legal and medical ethics experts told The Associated Press." An appeal to authority. Who are the "experts?" And do all experts agree?

4/"The code was designed to protect people from involuntary experiments and abuse. In contrast, Germany’s new restrictions on movement for unvaccinated people is a public health intervention, not an experiment on humans." But what did the code say specifically?

5/ So... tell me how this spin is an honest mistake, @APFactCheck ? The Legacy Media is lying to you. And badly. We deserve better lies.

6/ “The whole nature of mandates and movement restrictions based on vaccinations is because they said, ‘We’re done with the experiments, we’ve done clinical vaccine trials, we’re implementing policies based on it.’”
The experts say it's not an experiment because they say it's not

7/ "This is part of AP’s effort to address widely shared misinformation, including work with outside companies and organizations to add factual context to misleading content that is circulating online." You can make this shit up. But you don't need to.
