“And by the way, we are thinking in parallel about a study in Africa using this same approach.”
First was how the new 5G mobile network spectrum was linked to the coronavirus pandemic.Then came the fears that Africans might be the test laboratory rats or guinea pigs for vaccines being developed in faraway Europe. This is in clear disdain for Africa-grown efforts at a cure already being pushed forward by some respected African scientists, including former Independent National Electoral Commission chairman, Maurice Iwu, a renowned pharmacognosist.
Mira, head of intensive care unit at Cochin Hospital in Paris said:” It may be provocative. Should we not do this study in Africa where there are no masks, no treatment or intensive care, a little bit like it’s been done for certain AIDS studies, where among prostitutes, we try things, because we know that they are highly exposed and don’t protect themselves?”
According to Drogba, “Africa isn’t a testing lab. I would like to vividly denounce those demeaning, false and, most of all, deeply racists words.”WHO’sDirector-General, Mr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said the comments were “a disgrace” and “appalling to hear in the 21st century from scientists”. Mrs. Gates feared things would get worse for Africa once cases peak because of poor health care systems and lack of humanitarian support.
