 Nobel Prize for Medicine  (Nobel prize)   | |
|---|---|
| Start | 10 December 1901 |
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded yearly by the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden "for outstanding discoveries in physiology or medicine".
2008: "We hope this will put an end to conspiracy theories"
The Prize is used to cement dogma that benefits Big Pharma.
In 2008, half the Prize was given to France's Francoise Barre-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier, who discovered the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS. The other half was given to Harald zur Hausen of Germany for claiming that a virus, the human papilloma virus (HPV), causes cervical cancer, the second most common cancer among women.
A member of the jury, Björn Vennström, said he hoped the award would silence those who claim that HIV does not cause AIDS. "We hope this will put an end to conspiracy theories and others who defend ideas that are not founded in research."[1]
Censorship meeting
In May 2023, the Nobel Foundation and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences host a "Nobel Prize Summit on Countering Misinformation and Building Trust in Science". The summit will get together Nobel Prize laureates and other "experts", who will be joined by selected information technology and business leaders, policymakers, journalists, educators, and youth.[2][3]
The mission is explore solutions to "actively combat" the spread of "misinformation" and "disinformation", with the pretext "as the world faces interconnecting crises such as the pandemic, war, and climate change, the volume, velocity, and reach of misinformation and disinformation are weakening public deliberation and undermining trust in science and in democracy itself."[2]
"No sector of society is untouched by the problem of misinformation," said Vidar Helgesen, executive director of the Nobel Foundation. “We need to mobilize across society to counter it and build trust and respect for all those diligently seeking truth with integrity. We can’t limit the search for solutions to scientists, policymakers, or civil society — we need everyone to get on board."[2]
