21 Homeless People Die After Bird Flu Vaccine Experiment

According to an article by Matthew Day published in The Telegraph, a group of doctors recruited homeless people in Poland for a vaccine trial and paid them £1-2 (less than five dollars) to be tested with what they were told was a regular flu vaccine. What the unsuspecting, impoverished victims weren't told is that they were actually going to be given a bird flu vaccine. The director of a center for the homeless in Poland claimed that 21 people from his center died last year, when the usual number of deaths in a given year is about eight

Sadly, it is not uncommon for poor, disadvantaged people to be used in medical trials. Many vaccines and drugs are first tested in Third World countries. For people who are hungry and poor, like the people used in this bird flu trial, the few paltry dollars they were paid to test this vaccine probably seemed like a fortune

absolutely deplorable.
