#12The 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 reac…
Are there any good documentaries or books that dig into this without getting to academic?

#14I highly recommend Human Smoke by Nicholas Baker (2008) for a book that puts WWII in a historical perspective different from the one we inherited.

> Wow we sure threw that one out the window with the covid 19 vaccine didn't we? No, we have not.

I'd be very curious to see what people recommend since I think it's very important to consider how the victors behaved at the end of the war.

#19They had also accepted Soviet insistence that only Axis aggression was covered by the new court - otherwise the Soviet authorities would have been in the dock as well for carving up Poland in 1939 and attacking Finland three months later. - http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/20...

In some countries vaccination was planned to not be voluntary. This was the case in Austria, with a government stipulated mandate.[1] The situation changed rapidly, but just pointing out that vaccination against COVID was not always planned to be voluntary, especially as the OP mentioned his employer was mandating it.
