recalling past experiments on human subjects! excerpt - In a 2011 exposé <https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/ugly-past-u-s-human-experiments-uncovered-flna1c9465329>, Mike Stobbe of NBC news revealed a long history of federal physicians from the US deliberately infecting challenged persons or prisoners with diseases so as to experiment on them.
For instance, Stobbe wrote, “In the 1946-48 study, American scientists infected prisoners and patients in a mental hospital in Guatemala with syphilis, apparently to test whether penicillin could prevent some sexually transmitted disease. The study came up with no useful information and was hidden for decades.” The Israeli government is now conducting a massive experiment on over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children, to see whether being compelled to live in completely unsanitary conditions will cause health epidemics among them and much reduce their numbers. The World Health Organization estimates tens of thousands of people to be at risk from this experiment, which recalls those not only of federal scientists in the US but of Josef Mengele. <https://www.auschwitz.org/en/history/medical-experiments/josef-mengele/> The UN Relief and Works Agency reports <https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/08/1152791> that there have been 40,000 cases of hepatitis A in Gaza since Israel’s total war on its civilians began last October. There were only 85 such cases in the same period the previous year. The disease is a liver inflammation and damage, spread by exposure to raw sewage or contact with an infected person. The World Health organization says <https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/07/1152551> that more people in Gaza could die from infectious diseases than from being bombed by the Israeli Air Force. Officially over 39,000 are dead in military violence, though medical professionals on the ground estimate that the true toll is likely around 100,000 by now. So WHO is saying that 40,000 to 100,000 people could die of disease, a major epidemic in a country of a little over 2 million, or at the higher estimate as much as 4.5 percent of the population. That would be equivalent to 15 million Americans — more than the entire population of Pennsylvania — being forced into such unsanitary living conditions that they died of disease. full article - https://www.juancole.com/2024/08/hepatitis-threatens-experiments.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
