Pfizer tested drugs on children
En avril 2009, Pfizer, d’après certaines informations, parvint à un accord sur les poursuites pénales concernant les essais d’un vaccin conduit en 1996. Pfizer a testé le Trovan, un antibiotique oral, sur des enfants de l’état de Kano au Nigeria. En effet, pour éviter l’important processus des essais cliniques exigé par l’Administration de la Nourriture et des Médicaments, Pfizer décida d’exporter sa production de Trovan.
D’après le câble 09ABUJA671, Pfizer testa son efficacité sur des enfants de Kano durant des épidémies de méningite, avec l’aide de Médecins Sans Frontière. Ces contournements des exigences nationales et internationales de l’éthique médicale mirent les vies des enfants de Kano en danger.
Depuis les essais, il y a eu un procès civil et un procès pénal dans l’état de Kano et à la Haute Court Fédérale. Les avocats de Pfizer ont travaillé étroitement avec l’ancien chef d’état nigérian sur un accord de 75 millions de dollars. La rupture de cet accord donnerait 10 millions de dollars pour les frais pénaux, 30 millions de dollars au gouvernement de l’état de Kano, et 35 millions de dollars aux participants et à leur famille.
Le gouvernement américain était totalement au courant des affaires contre Pfizer au Nigeria et aida Pfizer à développer une nouvelle structure pour conduire de futurs essais au Nigeria. Pfizer considère que le Nigeria est un marché croissant de premier plan et Pfizer travaille à rétablir son image de marque dans ce pays.
MAJ le 4 janvier 2010 : Médecins Sans Frontière a déclaré qu’ils n’avaient jamais participé aux essais cliniques du Trovan avec Pfizer. Médecins Sans Frontière a publié un communiqué de presse officiel à ce sujet ici, dans lequel on peut également lire que Pfizer reconnait la non-implication de MSF et l’inexactitude du contenu du câble.

Thumbs up to all who care, nice article too! This is a great idea: our job is to inform the public, most people have no idea how corrupt the western world is, they think it only happens elsewhere, we all have alot of waking-up to do, and no time to waste, big brother is on the war-path with a fly swot…..and in a temper…….not surprising….. the illusion is fading…..and the house of cards is falling
Hi, for some reason when I place your feed into google reader, it won?t work. Can you give me the RSS link just to be sure I?m using the most appropriate one?

Doctors without borders are no longer on my list of the good guys. It’s unthinkable that « First Do No Harm » was not in their thinking! It does not surprise me that « We » via one of our drug companies would « Dare » do such an evil thing! They can spin it anyway they chose it will still smell the same! Children have become expendable. GWB and his evil crew proved that when they went into Iraq.. The 22 children that died in Waco, Texas, due to the aggressiveness of two government agency’s tested US. We failed the test America! The Israelis have as well. Over the years « We » have been sensitized to believe that anything’s fair in the game of war, no matter whether we start an illegal one or?
It’s no wonder that those « We » have insulted with our WMD which includes the use of pernicious medications, have no faith in US! I’ve lost faith in US! Not in my American friends but those who serve at the behest of those who would « Dare » use and abuse Children.. This is an act which should be dealt with like that of one who murders…
American’s have also become GUINEA PIGS, fair game, when it comes to drugs that maim and or kill! When do « We » wake up from this nightmare of monumental proportions driven by the gr$$d and evil of PHARMACEUTICALS, Oil companies, and those who serve their dastardly deeds? The madness is that those who could care less for the least of these like many Republicans and turncoat Dems. use the future of our children as a ploy in order to get their agendas across.
I should profess that while I believe in certain fellow Americans, I am outraged at those Americans who finally got their head out of the sand but now, at least for some, it seems they stuck it somewhere else where the sun don’t shine.. Wake Up America! It is later then any of us realize.. »We » claim to be a Christian nation. Has Christ not made it clear? Don’t harm a hair on the head of any child! Period! No excuse will do!
This article contains misleading statements and factual inaccuracies about Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). MSF spoke out against Pfizer conducting a clinical trial of the drug Trovan during a meningitis epidemic in 1996. MSF staff were present in the hospital where Pfizer conducted this clinical trial on children suffering from meningitis. MSF the first raise public attention to this incident and in no way participated in the clinical trial conducted by Pfizer in Kano state, Nigeria.
Dr. Jean-Hervé Bradol, former president of MSF France, recently told the Guardian newspaper following false allegations made by Pfizer executives that were published in US diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks website: « We have never worked with this family of antibiotic. We don’t use it for meningitis. That is the reason why we were shocked to see this trial in the hospital. »

It’s obvious we, the people, aren’t outraged enough. Maybe it’s the short attention span. The US government has been doing tests on unsuspecting humans for decades. We allow pharmaceutical ads on TV that tell us this or that drug is going to work wonders for us, and on the side tell us the side effects include horrible, debilitating trauma, including death sometimes, but it’s really great for you! Big Pharma, or any big business, doesn’t really care if people die, just so long as they can make money. Gosh, $75 million is nothing to them. They will probably make billions once it’s approved. Yes, it’s time to WAKE UP America! Ask questions, do your research, figure out what you’re doing to make things better or worse. Yes, it takes time, but it’s worth it in the long run.
Maybe I missed something here… Did the new antibiotic actually work?

[...] Wikileaks has provided so much whistle-blower information that surprisingly, hasn’t blown the United States into utter humiliation yet. Wikileaks has revealed wrongful imprisonment of individuals in Guantanamo Bay, proves that USA kills innocent civillians, including 2 children, and told us that Pfizer tests drugs on children. [...]
