Letter to Nepal Medical Council


January 25, 2022

 

Dear Medical Council of Nepal:

 

The World Bank is sending 4 million doses of Moderna covid vaccine for Nepali children aged 12-17, although this vaccine is not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of the USA for this age group.

 

This means the World Bank is sponsoring a very large clinical trial on Nepali children, without getting consent from parents or informing authorities about their intentions. This is not just deceptive but also illegal, according to the Nuremberg code on medical trials.

 

Please request the health minister to open a debate about this in Parliament.

 

These are the 10 points of the Nuremberg code:

 

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.

--The World Bank has engaged in deceit, fraud and deception by not informing the Nepali people this is an experimental vaccine still undergoing clinical trial in children. The Nepal Government is also under duress to follow their commands due to the financing they give to the government.

 

The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.

--There is no reliable data that the harm caused by this vaccine and its already recorded side-effects of myocarditis is not worse than what the disease it purports to cure. Due to this, we can conclude the harm can be worse than the beneficial results.

 

The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.

--There is already extensive evidence of myocarditis in young teenagers and men after this vaccine is administered. Therefore we cannot justify mass vaccinating children who are healthy with this product which can incapacitate them.

 

The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

--There is very good testimonies and documentation that this vaccine can cause devastating physical and mental suffering and injury. In addition, due to lack of basic healthcare, myocarditis could become life threatening for a young man in the mountains or Terai.

 

No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.

--Myocarditis has been known to cause sudden death in children. There are many documented instances which are quickly hidden by the search engines Google and social media, but a search “died suddenly” brings up many stories of young children as well as athletes playing football, amongst other games, who collapsed and died. It is clear that anything strenuous triggers pressure on the heart in the vaccinated individual.

 

The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.

--Covid deaths has been shown to be negligible in many African countries that have extremely low vaccination rates. Nepal and India also have pocket communities which have adopted Ayurvedic treatment and have very low (or zero) covid death rates. By this we can conclude it can be cured with other medication other than western ones, and these indigenous medicines may be far more effective than the ones that have caused mass deaths in Western countries. Therefore we cannot justify these mass experiments when other alternatives already exist.

 

Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.

--The subjects, in this case schoolchildren of Nepal, are not even being warned they are medical subjects and are taking part in a clinical trial. Many are not close to medical centers that can deal with such a complication as myocarditis. So we can assume that injury, disability and death will follow this experiment.

 

The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.

--These injections are being administered by healthworkers who most likely are not educated, and they do not have the resources or the administrative capacity to follow up with side-effects. There is a very good chance the person administering the shot will leave the village and never be seen again.

 

During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.

--Once the shot is inside the body, the side effects will start and it will be impossible to stop. There is no way to “uninstall” this program, according to one analogy.

 

During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

--The scientists in charge of this experiment seem determined to cause injury, disability and death to the experimental subject, and their sole motive seem to be financial profit as well as political power. There is also a very large corporate nexus behind this mass marketing of vaccines. We therefore cannot conclude that they would use this ideal scientific judgement for this purpose.

 

With best regards,

Sushma Joshi

The Bitter Truth: Talat Abbasi's Bitter Gourds

The stories are small, but with a spicy aftertaste that could be from nowhere else but the subcontinent. Talat Abbasi's Bitter Gourd and Other Stories is a collection of nugget sized, delectable tales laid out, in typical desi fashion, amongst the detritus of social stratification, family ennui, economic marginalization and diaspora. Gently dousing her stories with a generous portion of irony and satire, the Karachi born writer brings to the fore the small hypocrisies and the mundane corruptions of everyday life in Pakistan. Whether dealing with a birdman or a poor relation, a rich widow or an immigrant mother, Ms. Abbasi touches the mythic heart that ticks besides all these caricatures. The ghostly narrative influence of Virginia Woolf, with a pinch of Victorian lit thrown in for good measure, is discernable, although most of the voices are centered around the "how kind, how kind" echoes of South Asia. The book starts, appropriately, with a story about a feudal patro

INTERVIEW: TOM ARENS

KHULA MANCH Tom Arens first came to Nepal in 1972 as the South Asian representative of World Neighbors, a small American INGO. He stayed for 28 years. He was one of the founding members of the Federation of NGOs. Arens talked with Sushma Joshi of the Nation Weekly about the changes he has seen in the development scene in Nepal, as well as his thoughts about the direction in which the nation should take in the coming years. What was Nepal like in 1972? When World Neighbors first started, we worked with The Nepal’s Women’s Organization and Paropakar. These were the only two established smaller NGOs. We started with small funds: $50,000-100,000 the first couple of years. The government was ambivalent about smaller non-profits, so we couldn’t get registered until 7 years later, when the Social Service Welfare Council was established. The Queen was the chair. The Council helped to give status to smaller non-profits and to facilitate our work. What was your first program? Our first program w

Milk and rice

Sushma Joshi I am the youngest of seven cousins. When we were little, we used to play lukamari , or hide-and-seek, games in the garden. My eldest cousin sister, taking pity on me, would allow me to be a dudh-bhat (milk and rice) during our games. A dudh-bhat is someone too young to play the game adequately, but the older children allow this young one to tag along and never be “outed” from the game because they might cry if made to leave. So this means you are endlessly in the game, even when in reality you should really be out. Of course, being the youngest means you may always retain the status of a dudh-bhat even when you do grow up. In Nepal, as we know all too well, the hierarchy of age allows the young some privileges, along with the old. It appears to me Madhav Kumar, even though he's lost the game twice in two elections, is being allowed to be the dudh-bhat by his wiser and more tolerant elders. He is allowed to be in the game endlessly even though in reality he should real
