Pharmaceutical company Pfizer using africans as guinea pigs
The governement of Nigeria is taking on US pharma giant Pfizer.
It is accusing the company of having exploited a meningitis epidemia in the african country to test a new drug with severe side effects for children.
Pfizer representatives allegedly didnīt identify themselves as conducting a test and according to testimonies just offered "generous" help to sick children and despaired parents.

The result was that eleven children died and many were left dissabled.
