Re: Young Children and Babies Used as Lab Rats in Drug Trials

I certainly hope not!!! That having been said, I would not be at all surprised if it were. After all, you know 1) how secretive the Government can be; 2) they aren't going to have the same difficulties getting parental consent if the children are wards of the state; and 3) that more than likely, this kind of thing comes under the guise of "Research & Development" ("R & D") so Big PhARMA ends up paying for all or most of the expenses; costing the government little, if any taxpayer dollars[ Yeah, right! What about the hundreds of millions (or billions) of dollars the public pays in over-priced prescription drugs; those dollars come from citizens who are taxpayers, right?] ~~Ruth/REU

Young Children and Babies Used as Lab Rats in Drug Trials

Orphans and babies as young as three months old have been used as guinea pigs in potentially dangerous medical experiments sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, an Observer investigation has revealed.

British drug giant GlaxoKline is embroiled in the scandal. The firm sponsored experiments on the children from Incarnation Children's Centre, a New York care home that specialises in treating HIV sufferers and is run by Catholic charities.

The children had either been infected with HIV or born to HIV-positive mothers. Their parents were dead, untraceable or deemed unfit to look after them.

According to documents obtained by The Observer, Glaxo has sponsored at least four medical trials since 1995 using Hispanic and black children at Incarnation. The documents give details of all clinical trials in the US and reveal the experiments sponsored by Glaxo were designed to test the 'safety and tolerance' of Aids medications, some of which have potentially dangerous side effects. Glaxo manufactures a number of drugs designed to treat HIV, including AZT.

Normally trials on children would require parental consent but, as the infants are in care, New York's authorities hold that role.

The city health department has launched an investigation into claims that more than 100 children at Incarnation were used in 36 experiments - at least four co-sponsored by Glaxo. Some of these trials were designed to test the 'toxicity' of Aids medications. One involved giving children as young as four a high-dosage cocktail of seven drugs at one time. Another looked at the reaction in six-month-old babies to a double dose of measles vaccine.

Most experiments were funded by federal agencies like the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Until now Glaxo's role had not emerged.

In 1997 an experiment co-sponsored by Glaxo used children from Incarnation to 'obtain tolerance, safety and pharmacokinetic' data for Herpes drugs. In a more recent experiment, the children were used to test AZT. A third experiment sponsored by Glaxo and US drug firm Pfizer investigated the 'long-term safety' of anti-bacterial drugs on three-month-old babies.

The medical establishment has defended the trials arguing they enabled these children to obtain state-of-the-art therapy they would otherwise not have received for potentially fatal illnesses.

However, health campaigners argue there is a difference between providing the latest drugs and experimentation. They claim many of the experiments were 'phase 1 trials' - among the most risky - and that HIV tests for babies were not a reliable indicator of actual infection and therefore toxic drugs could have been given to healthy infants. HIV drugs are similar to those used in chemotherapy and can have serious side-effects.

Vera Sharav, president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, said the children had been treated like 'laboratory animals'.

'These are some of the most vulnerable individuals in the country and there appears to be a policy of giving drug firms access to them,' she said. 'Throughout the history of medical research we have seen prisoners abused, the mentally ill abused and now poor kids in a care home.'

Sharav has urged the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate and has demanded full disclosure of all adverse effects suffered by the children, including deaths. Brooklyn Democrat councillor Bill de Blasio is also demanding that New York's Administration for Children's Services, which approved the trials, reveal who gave consent and on what grounds.

Glaxo has confirmed it provided funds for some of the experiments but denied any improper action. A spokeswoman said: 'These studies were implemented by the US Aids Clinical Trial Group, a clinical research network paid for by the National Institutes of Health. Glaxo's involvement in such studies would have been to provide study drugs or funding but we would have no interactions with the patients.

'Generally speaking, clinical research is carefully regulated in the US and it would be the responsibility of the appropriate authorities to ensure all subjects in a clinical trial provided appropriate, informed consent to conform with all local laws and regulations regarding legal authority in the case of minors.'

The Incarnation trials were run by Columbia University Medical Centre doctors. Columbia spokeswoman Annie Bayne said there had been no clinical trials at Incarnation since 2000 and that consent for the children was provided by the Administration for Children's Services, which uses a panel of doctors and lawyers to determine whether the benefits of a trial for each child outweighs the risks. 'There are many safeguards in the system. HIV is eventually a fatal disease, but drug therapy has lengthened life significantly,' said Bayne.

A spokesman for Incarnation said: 'The purpose of the trials was to test the efficacy of HIV medication ... These trials were based on scientific evidence of their potential value in the treatment of HIV-infected children.'

Absolutly it's true!!!!!!!! I'm jumping in here without details however, I certainly do recall reading about the information Trina G has posted.....I will search my files for the experiments on children I have compiled. Before my old PC broke down ( wires buned out) I had stored a few articles on child abuse and experiments.....the detalis of abuse by catholic orphanages had me in tears for days!!!!!!!! Catholic orphanages allowed pharmaceutical experiments on children and babies..some only days old......multiple mixes of drugs ( not just one) were put into these children, some children who complained of being very sick (and they were) from taking these meds were taken to a make shift sugerical room and were forced to have a food tube inserted into their

stomachs! their hands kept tied down so they couldn't pull out the tube that was feeding them experimenatl drugs. A reporter discribed what she saw as terrible suffering in the children and deplorable conditions such as bars covering windows, doors kept looked, no stimulation by staff.... Gross abuse by staff was documented. I wish I could recall the reporter/article who broke this story....this info was on my old PC and I think the hard drive is damaged...I do remember it's a seperate story from the New York article.....I had posted this article on another group years ago and not one response...NOT ONE!! I tried to e-mail the reporter for discussion , I had not heard back from her...don't know what ever happened to the outcome.This was years ago but I never forgot the plight of the children....Also speaking of old files on my old PC ( now gone) I think it was in the 80's.....in Florida a chemical company

was recruiting parents of babies to conduct an experiment with...get this...PESTICIDES!!.........the participants (upon completion of the experiment) were promised video recorders, restaurant tickets and other assorted items. The company required the parents to spray a substance like roach spray all around their babies room and close the door!!!! A chemical co. rep would come to the parents home several times a week to interview with parents and observe the baby... seesh!! I think this went on for about three months.....There was a government inquiry into this and I remember seeing a video online whereas US officials blasted the company for this inhuman experiment , I don't recall the name of the company involved but I know it's one of those co's that manufacture items like oven cleaners, roach spray. Aside from the company acting in mad scientist mode, I was really angry and upset at these parents

to even participate and commit their babies to this horrendous athrocity...the lure of a video recorder was too much for those people to stop and think about what they were doing..sacrificing their babies to science. Although the chem.co targeted low income parents...there is no excuse for being low income and having no common sense!! This all happened in th USA..our country, our children...there really are some evil people in the world. I could go on and on but I'm getting overwhelmed with emotion just trying to recall more information. All one has to do in type in a search for childhood experiments or some variation to child/experiments and up comes lots of information...brace yourselves.

L & R Trina ] Orphans and babies as young as three months old have been used as guinea pigs in potentially dangerous medical experiments sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, an Observer investigation has revealed. British drug giant GlaxoKline is embroiled in the

scandal. The firm sponsored experiments on the children from Incarnation Children's Centre, a New York care home that specialises in treating HIV sufferers and is run by Catholic charities. The children had either been infected with HIV or born to HIV-positive mothers. Their parents were dead, untraceable or deemed unfit to look after them. According to documents obtained by The Observer, Glaxo has sponsored at least four medical trials since 1995 using Hispanic and black children at Incarnation. The documents give details of all clinical trials in the US and reveal the experiments sponsored by Glaxo were designed to test the 'safety and tolerance' of Aids medications, some of which have potentially dangerous side effects. Glaxo manufactures a number of drugs designed to treat HIV, including AZT. Normally trials on

children would require parental consent but, as the infants are in care, New York's authorities hold that role. The city health department has launched an investigation into claims that more than 100 children at Incarnation were used in 36 experiments - at least four co-sponsored by Glaxo. Some of these trials were designed to test the 'toxicity' of Aids medications. One involved giving children as young as four a high-dosage cocktail of seven drugs at one time. Another looked at the reaction in six-month-old babies to a double dose of measles vaccine. Most experiments were funded by federal agencies like the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Until now Glaxo's role had not emerged. In 1997 an experiment co-sponsored by Glaxo used children from Incarnation to 'obtain tolerance, safety and

pharmacokinetic' data for Herpes drugs. In a more recent experiment, the children were used to test AZT. A third experiment sponsored by Glaxo and US drug firm Pfizer investigated the 'long-term safety' of anti-bacterial drugs on three-month-old babies. The medical establishment has defended the trials arguing they enabled these children to obtain state-of-the-art therapy they would otherwise not have received for potentially fatal illnesses. However, health campaigners argue there is a difference between providing the latest drugs and experimentation. They claim many of the experiments were 'phase 1 trials' - among the most risky - and that HIV tests for babies were not a reliable indicator of actual infection and therefore toxic drugs could have been given to healthy infants. HIV drugs are similar to those used in chemotherapy and can have serious

side-effects. Vera Sharav, president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, said the children had been treated like 'laboratory animals'. 'These are some of the most vulnerable individuals in the country and there appears to be a policy of giving drug firms access to them,' she said. 'Throughout the history of medical research we have seen prisoners abused, the mentally ill abused and now poor kids in a care home.' Sharav has urged the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate and has demanded full disclosure of all adverse effects suffered by the children, including deaths. Brooklyn Democrat councillor Bill de Blasio is also demanding that New York's Administration for Children's Services, which approved the trials, reveal who gave consent and on what grounds. Glaxo has confirmed it provided funds for some of the experiments but denied any improper action. A spokeswoman said: 'These studies were implemented by the US Aids Clinical Trial Group, a clinical research network paid for by the National Institutes of Health. Glaxo's involvement in such studies would have been to provide study drugs or funding but we would have no interactions with the patients. 'Generally speaking, clinical research is carefully regulated in the US and it would be the responsibility of the appropriate authorities to ensure all subjects in a clinical trial provided appropriate, informed consent to conform with all local laws and regulations regarding legal authority in the case of minors.' The Incarnation trials were run by Columbia University Medical Centre doctors. Columbia spokeswoman Annie Bayne said there had been no clinical

trials at Incarnation since 2000 and that consent for the children was provided by the Administration for Children's Services, which uses a panel of doctors and lawyers to determine whether the benefits of a trial for each child outweighs the risks. 'There are many safeguards in the system. HIV is eventually a fatal disease, but drug therapy has lengthened life significantly,' said Bayne. A spokesman for Incarnation said: 'The purpose of the trials was to test the efficacy of HIV medication ... These trials were based on scientific evidence of their potential value in the treatment of HIV-infected children.' llDarkAngelxl ~ WANTED - Canadian Patriots to Help Save Canada Now!Recruiting Candidates (18 yrs and up) and Campaign Volunteers (no age

Absolutly it's true!!!!!!!! I'm jumping in here without details however, I certainly do recall reading about the information Trina G has posted.....I will search my files for the experiments on children I have compiled.

Catholic orphanages allowed pharmaceutical experiments on children and babies..some only days old......multiple mixes of drugs ( not just one) were put into these children, some children who complained of being very sick (and they were) from taking these meds were taken to a make shift sugerical room and were forced to have a food tube inserted into their

stomachs! their hands kept tied down so they couldn't pull out the tube that was feeding them experimenatl drugs. A reporter discribed what she saw as terrible suffering in the children and deplorable conditions such as bars covering windows, doors kept looked, no stimulation by staff.... Gross abuse by staff was documented.

Orphans and babies as young as three months old have been used as guinea pigs in potentially dangerous medical experiments sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, an Observer investigation has revealed.

British drug giant GlaxoKline is embroiled in the scandal. The firm sponsored experiments on the children from Incarnation Children's Centre, a New York care home that specialises in treating HIV sufferers and is run by Catholic charities.

The children had either been infected with HIV or born to HIV-positive mothers. Their parents were dead, untraceable or deemed unfit to look after them.

According to documents obtained by The Observer, Glaxo has sponsored at least four medical trials since 1995 using Hispanic and black children at Incarnation.

The city health department has launched an investigation into claims that more than 100 children at Incarnation were used in 36 experiments - at least four co-sponsored by Glaxo. Some of these trials were designed to test the 'toxicity' of Aids medications. One involved giving children as young as four a high-dosage cocktail of seven drugs at one time.

'There are many safeguards in the system. HIV is eventually a fatal disease, but drug therapy has lengthened life significantly,' said Bayne.

A spokesman for Incarnation said: 'The purpose of the trials was to test the efficacy of HIV medication ... These trials were based on scientific evidence of their potential value in the treatment of HIV-infected children.'

Young Children and Babies Used as Lab Rats in Drug Trials

[ Is this still going on? I was wondering if anyone here may have any updates on this case, I will keep looking myself for a bit today- as I have deligations ahead of me this rainy Friday. Peace! L & R Trina ]

Orphans and babies as young as three months old have been used as guinea pigs in potentially dangerous medical experiments sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, an Observer investigation has revealed.

British drug giant GlaxoKline is embroiled in the scandal. The firm sponsored experiments on the children from Incarnation Children's Centre, a New York care home that specialises in treating HIV sufferers and is run by Catholic charities.

The children had either been infected with HIV or born to HIV-positive mothers. Their parents were dead, untraceable or deemed unfit to look after them.

According to documents obtained by The Observer, Glaxo has sponsored at least four medical trials since 1995 using Hispanic and black children at Incarnation. The documents give details of all clinical trials in the US and reveal the experiments sponsored by Glaxo were designed to test the 'safety and tolerance' of Aids medications, some of which have potentially dangerous side effects. Glaxo manufactures a number of drugs designed to treat HIV, including AZT.

Normally trials on children would require parental consent but, as the infants are in care, New York's authorities hold that role.

The city health department has launched an investigation into claims that more than 100 children at Incarnation were used in 36 experiments - at least four co-sponsored by Glaxo. Some of these trials were designed to test the 'toxicity' of Aids medications. One involved giving children as young as four a high-dosage cocktail of seven drugs at one time. Another looked at the reaction in six-month-old babies to a double dose of measles vaccine.

Most experiments were funded by federal agencies like the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Until now Glaxo's role had not emerged.

In 1997 an experiment co-sponsored by Glaxo used children from Incarnation to 'obtain tolerance, safety and pharmacokinetic' data for Herpes drugs. In a more recent experiment, the children were used to test AZT. A third experiment sponsored by Glaxo and US drug firm Pfizer investigated the 'long-term safety' of anti-bacterial drugs on three-month-old babies.

The medical establishment has defended the trials arguing they enabled these children to obtain state-of-the-art therapy they would otherwise not have received for potentially fatal illnesses.

However, health campaigners argue there is a difference between providing the latest drugs and experimentation. They claim many of the experiments were 'phase 1 trials' - among the most risky - and that HIV tests for babies were not a reliable indicator of actual infection and therefore toxic drugs could have been given to healthy infants. HIV drugs are similar to those used in chemotherapy and can have serious side-effects.

Vera Sharav, president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, said the children had been treated like 'laboratory animals'.

'These are some of the most vulnerable individuals in the country and there appears to be a policy of giving drug firms access to them,' she said. 'Throughout the history of medical research we have seen prisoners abused, the mentally ill abused and now poor kids in a care home.'

Sharav has urged the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate and has demanded full disclosure of all adverse effects suffered by the children, including deaths. Brooklyn Democrat councillor Bill de Blasio is also demanding that New York's Administration for Children's Services, which approved the trials, reveal who gave consent and on what grounds.

Glaxo has confirmed it provided funds for some of the experiments but denied any improper action. A spokeswoman said: 'These studies were implemented by the US Aids Clinical Trial Group, a clinical research network paid for by the National Institutes of Health. Glaxo's involvement in such studies would have been to provide study drugs or funding but we would have no interactions with the patients.

'Generally speaking, clinical research is carefully regulated in the US and it would be the responsibility of the appropriate authorities to ensure all subjects in a clinical trial provided appropriate, informed consent to conform with all local laws and regulations regarding legal authority in the case of minors.'

The Incarnation trials were run by Columbia University Medical Centre doctors.

I dont know about this case but I have read many reports on all sorts

of things including experiments on orphanages including catholic ones.

Sexual abuse, drug use, severe physical abuse by those in charge to

care for the children. Cover-ups by many states and religious

organizations esp if financed by Illuminati groups. Therefore I would

not be surprised if this was totally true, free guinea pigs with no

rights for the drug companies.

Does this situation w/the drug trials using kids from Incarnation remind

you of the Hitler regime whereby prisoners were experimented on?

And this is happening right under our nose. How 'bout alerting the media,

not that they'd do anything as they are run by corporate giants such as

GSK, Merck, Phizer, etc. At least we could plant seeds and someone

may decide to risk it and run w/this story. We can only hope...

While watching NOW with Brancaccio on my PBS channel, last night, I was glued to my TV during a segment with Hinahosa. If you check with your local PBS affiliates, you may be able to view it on TV. Otherwise, I think one can view it by going to NOW@....

The report was about a group of three investigative reporters with very supportive Managing and Assistant Managing Editors at the Journal/Sentinal Communications in Milwaukee, WI. They did, and are still doing research and digging into the chemicals in plastic (bottles and toys for babies and other hard plastics). The EPA and other government agencies and entities know these people are not going to give up because the lead reporter on this newspaper has a specialized background in biochemistry and related fields. I don't recall her name but it probably would be relatively easy to get contact information for her. That might be one logical place to begin planting seeds. I feel certain there must other local media who have reporters such as this group, throughout the country. There is a possibility that this group in Milwaukee may know of other reporters who are equally tenacious and persistent.

Yes, it does mimic the nazi regime. Cruel and inhuman experiments on children, particularly mentally impaired children has occured/is occuring all around the world. As with some stories exposing cruel and inhumane treatment on children, journalists/reporters were involved in exposing these stories. It begs the question..why aren't more news reporters taking up this problem and revealing such stories on the news?
