The discovery of this medical experiment generated a series of official U.S. responses that can only be called political theater given how contrived they are. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton went on the record saying, "Although these events occurred more than 64 years ago, we are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health... We deeply regret that it happened, and we apologize to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices."
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs called the discovery "reprehensible," and President Obama even picked up the phone to call Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom and offer a verbal apology.
You know what all these actions have in common? An implied message that this experiment from the 1940's was somehow an aberrant mistake that never happens in America. They want you to believe this is just some lone researcher who went off his rocker and committed some atrocious crime in the name of medicine. But the reality is that Big Pharma and the U.S. government use innocent people in medical experiments every single day. This wasn't some bizarre, rare event. It was a reflection of the way the U.S. government has consistently conspired with the medical industry to test drugs on innocent victims and find out what happens.'

ReplyDeleteWell, it doesn't surprise me at all and can totally belive this 100%, because it is true.
Yes, the U.S. government does experiment with its citizens everyday. One needs only to look at Plum Island and the experiments the government does with biological weapons to realize the devastation that Lyme disease (Borrelia), its associated diseases (Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Mycoplasma) and the West Nile Virus have on everyday citizens. These diseases are not accidents of nature. The Centers for Disease Control and the Department of Defense (and Big Pharma) should be ashamed of their continued efforts. Just look at Daniel Ellsberg's revelation about the Viet Nam War (known to those in Viet Nam as "The American War") and its cover-up. Everyday people go about their daily life fearing to speak out; when they do, there are entities that want to thwart the information and deny its existence. There is so much misinformation out there making it difficult to know the truth. Researchers, like the one who discovered the Guatemalan experiment, are rare. I applaud her efforts.
