In a recent article, Jonathan Engler made important connections between the UK Parliament’s newly-passed assisted dying law and Nazi-era euthanasia programs.
You are spot on re: 'witnesses'. The systems ensured that there were as few witnesses as possible. The 'Leapfrog' program was instituted in the ICUs across the country so that as few people had contact with inpatients as possible. Physicians of 35 years who had always taken care of their own patients in the ICUs were pushed out; intensivists gave all the care. These are corporately controlled/paid physicians who have no pre-existing relationship with the patients. The nurses who were ethical and could afford to leave the bedside did--because they did not become nurses to participate in euthanasia. This leaves the young (and ignorant) to be mentored by those who were willing to go-along-to-get-along; remember these were also people who were coerced to be inoculated. (Once you have given over your own bodily sovereignty; how effective of an advocate can one be for another person?)
Family members were pushed out. I think in 2020 through the first quarter or so of 2021 it was not as tightly enforced; but by the fall of 2021--the general population was becoming aware of the variance in care and it was nearly impossible to be with your loved one. No ethics conferences were granted. All of this was very similar nationally. At one point (fall of 2021) I was a part of advocacy teams for three different patients in three different systems in different states and the systems responded in the exact same way for the requests made for these patients; a statistical impossibility were it not coordinated.
I call this time period we are in at the moment-- 'The Great Silencing', it is pretty much impossible to engage any colleagues in conversation about the inversion of the ethics of care, it's as if the central concern about the preservation of human life has collapsed. The quote from the Holocaust Museum's book that no institution stood...that describes our current situation. This is evidenced by the fact that there is not one court which has allowed discovery which will open up what the Prep Act does; the fact that there were almost no lawyers who would represent the vax mandated, the fact the no Christian denomination of any stripe--Protestant: Anglican/Reformed/Baptist/Methodist....;Roman Catholic nor Orthodox of any kind has developed any central concern for human life in response to these colossal events. It is 'business as usual'.
