Wow! I didn't realize this kind of experimentation still went on in the world. I know it went on in the early 1900s and before.. but I had no idea that that kind of thing still happened. It wouldn't happen here in the US, I'm sure of that.I would love to be seated on that jury!!! The children that died right away were the lucky ones. The survivors that were left blind, deaf, paralyzed, or brain damaged are the ones my heart goes out to. From what I've read about that area, it is already difficult to maintain a decent quality of life as it is. With the imposed disabilities, those children will die a slow & quite painful death taking years to accomplish while they suffer!!! My biggest fear is that with the high priced lawyers Pfizer has on staff, this will all be swept under the carpet!!!!
I believe it is happening here in the US...just not at the magnitude that it happened to those poor children!!! We have numerous clinics that are strictly for trial testings. If you have a disease or illness they have a drug to cover, they offer free drugs & to pay you for your time & expense in joining in on their trials. Once you sign up, you may get the "real" drug that you need or you may receive a "placebo". How do we know what is in the "real" drug as it is usually a blind test. Much like with these children, the poor flock to these clinics in hopes of getting the much needed treatment plus, a little income so they have food for their children; & thereby putting their complete faith in the drug companies as they have no other alternative!!!Wow!
