And they are ruthlessly determined to keep it that way. David Noakes, lecture Alternative View 6 conference, ‘Big Pharma and the Cancer Scam’

A group of Nigerian children and their guardians alleged that Pfizer experimented on 200 children suffering from meningitis without their consent or knowledge. At the time of the 1996 meningitis epidemic in northern Nigeria, Pfizer was attempting to obtain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new antibiotic Trovafloxacin Mesylate (Trovan). The complainants further alleged that Pfizer purposefully under-dosed the children treated with the well-established and FDA-approved drug Ceftriaxone in order to skew the trial results in favour of Trovan. 11 children died as a result of the trial and many others were left blind, paralysed or brain-damaged.
The complainants filed a claim under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) grounded in the prohibitions of the Nuremberg Code, the World Medical Association's Declaration of Helsinki, the guidelines of the Council for International Organisations of Medical Services and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which categorically forbid medical experimentation without consent.
