No, we have not.

Also, it's completely asinine to compare voluntary vaccination by an incredibly safe vaccine in the middle of a pandemic that claimed millions of lives, with forced medical experiments often resulting in deaths.

I don't consent to breathing in the virus particles of someone who increased their chances of getting infected, or increased the viral load they carried around, because they refused the vaccine. Ultimately you need some way to balance people's rights whenever they are conflicting. Your right to refuse the vaccine vs my right to not die due to your ignorance.

How would you have breathed in my virus particles when I'm a remote employee 1,000 miles away from you?

We need to go deeper: "I don't consent to being exposed to crazy ideas that bloom in the minds of some people."

The Nuremberg Trials were fascinating. While I think many of the individuals leading the tribunal were trying to do a good job in the tradition of their respective nations' legal frameworks, the victorious allies could really not see eye to eye on what was a fair measure of retribution, rehabilitation, deterrence, etc. So my take is that largely all legal norms were discarded or violated, and the tribunal had to reach sentences and conclusions that were politically and diplomatically acceptable for the US, UK, France, and the USSR (not to mention a dozen or more other nations relying on the four victorious major powers in the immediate aftermath of the war).
