China, US & Canada To Test Potential Coronavirus Vaccine On Poor Africans
We reported earlier on two French Doctors who made insensitive comments about the Coronavirus pandemic. Doctors Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Locht made the controversial statements on LCI, a channel on French television.
The two doctors were discussing the COVID-19 pandemic, Mira, who is the head of the ICU at the Cochin Hospital in Paris, suggested that researchers should set up shop in Africa and use Africans as test subjects.
Well, it appears the French doctors suggestion is already been implemented. According to new reports, the United States and China have a plan to test out the potential vaccines on human guinea pigs.
And those human guinea pics are located in the Democratic Republic of The Congo, the poorest country in the world. On average, their people live on about $1 a day.
So many human rights advocates are horrified by the announcement, by Congolese officials yesterday, that they would be using their people was human guinea pigs for a coronavirus vaccine.
This is not the first time that Blacks will be used as laboratory rats. In the 1940s, doctors in the Unites States purposely infected Black people with syphillis – and watched them die. The “tests” on Black Americans were done so that doctors could better understand how to treat the disease.
Here’s an official explaining the details of the new tests:
