Hey, this is GLOBALIZATION; African children's lives count for NOTHING compared to Big Pharma's mega-profits! And, as an AMERIKKKAN Corporation, why OF COURSE they are ABOVE ANY MERE LAWS MADE BY A MERE NATION-STATE! {Look how they violate even their OWN country's laws with complete impunity!}

The WHOLE WORLD must serve the interests of Amerikkka's ELITE UPPER CLASS! That is CAPITALISM, the glory of the earth! What, you're a COMMIE to disagree with that idea? You think ANYONE BESIDES A MEGA-WEALTHY AMERIKKKAN ELITIST HAS ANY RIGHTS? Why, our OWN courts are subservient to that idea; NATURALLY it is ONLY FITTING that these damn foreign courts KNOW THEIR PLACE; and that we don't give a damn WHAT those damn foreigners think or do!

"The alleged illegal clinical trial led to the deaths of 11 children and deformities including deafness, blindness, paralysis and brain damage in 181 others."

"Pfizer denies any wrongdoing." - This certainly won't surprise anyone that big corp refuses to take responsibility. 181 children who will suffer the rest of their lives because of this companies drugs!!!! 11 children dead..innocent young lives taken from their families!!!

Noted with thanks, Mark. This story definitely needs to be told.

You cannot currently send a star to Gail because you have done so within the last week.

This is far more common than most Americans imagine. Sub-saharan Africa has become the human testing laboratory for the western world. Do people really think that drug companies get enough volunteers for human trials?
