#1 I suppose these are 'city' babies that will have enough food.

#4 Not sure why any African nation agrees to be lab rats at this point. Somebody’s Swiss back account is now loaded.

#6 ^ Idi Amin, President of Uganda and last king of Scotland, was rumored to engage in a bit cannibalism.

Why would any African nation agree to be lab rats?
Malaria is a huge problem in Africa. Used to be in America also, but we drained swamps and put up windows screens. And splashed DDT around like it was holy water.

Once upon a time, the World Health Organization had a great reputation for combating diseases like smallpox and polio. That mission may no longer be operative, similar to how our Center for Disease Control lost focus when they morphed into the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

#8 I don't think it's a stretch to acknowledge that the 3rd world is where ALL human testing starts before it gets to the final FDA required stage for human trial. A Corp would never dump that much R&D into anything without presenting a high probability for success to a regulating body, already knowing the potential down sides. this has been going on for decades. Why do we have so many global variants of a generic drug, variants which can not be purchased in the USA? Those are some of the marketable outcomes from human testing before entering into the FDA human trials.

And sometimes ends, until it is picked up again elsewhere.
