In the video, Jean-Paul Mira, the head of the intensive care department at the Cochin Hospital in Paris, proposes the idea of testing new coronavirus vaccines on African populations to Camille Locht, the research director at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM).
“If I can be provocative, shouldn’t we do this study in Africa where there are no masks, no treatment, no intensive care? A bit like we did in some studies on AIDS. We tried things on prostitutes because they are highly exposed and do not protect themselves,” said Mira.
Locht agreed with the suggestion: “You are right. We are actually thinking about leading a study in Africa… We have already launched a call for bids and we are strongly considering the idea.”
The footage, taken from a talk show broadcasted on April 1 on French television channel LCI, went viral when Cameroonian football legend Samuel Eto’o shared the video on his social media.
“Assassins!” Eto’o commented on Twitter before sharing the video on his Facebook and Instagram pages.
More than 600,000 internet users watched the footage and thousands shared it, denouncing the colonialist mindset of the two French doctors.
“Africa is not your playground,” Eto’o wrote in a different publication.
Following the backlash, LCI removed the talk show recording from their website and social media pages without commenting on the incident.
Meanwhile, the INSERM issued a statement on their Twitter account, saying that the footage was “wrongly interpreted.”
Tests of the vaccine are already ongoing or will start soon in several European countries, such as the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Spain, according to the INSERM.
The institute attempted to justify Locht’s statement by saying, “Africa should not be forgotten nor excluded from research because the pandemic is global.”

Their evil plans will backfire. Kudos to Eto, you won't see our naija celebs making a stand like this.
ReplyDeleteand after this Eto and other black celebs will go and carry European women . Abegi
DeleteAnd what does European women have to do with the discussion? Does a person's relationship prevent them from taking a stand? 😒
DeleteEV, it's not true! If our Nigerian celebs see such, they do not just react, they speak out and maybe even protest...
DeleteIts not their fault but our wicked,selfish,ignorant,looters of our leaders that caused this. I will never forget the amount of money former Abia state governor stole. They are all thieves and God will judge them all!
ReplyDeleteIts not their faults
DeleteIts the unintelligent, ignorant kleptomaniac hypocrites I blame
These whypipo truly piss me off, like focus your energy on your disease-ridden country! Africa as a whole has just 6,000 cases with only 250 deaths while France alone has 60,000 cases with over 5,000 deaths, who needs help more? These people have absolutely no regards for black people or Africans, do we look like guinea pigs they could use for their experiments and dispose of as they please? They should miss me with that bs, Africa is doing a better job to contain the pandemic compared to them, I think their citizens should be of priority to them. If they want to help, they can send ventilators and face masks. Ndi onyeoma emeka.
ReplyDeleteReason I have been praying God surprises them and gives us grace and wisdom to fight corona virus and come out strong. They are taking their people out cos of how they feel about Africa all thanks to our thieves called leaders.
DeleteThe number of cases has you confused. Africa has low cases because it has low testing capacity. Many more have the disease and have not been tested, will not be treated and would be spreading it like wildfire. If that drug gets to the makeshift tents set up in Lagos or anywhere else, I advice those on admission to proactively take it and not miss a dose. Those nagging about it have no alternative and nothing to contribute- not research, hospitals, vaccines or anything. Just stories about racism that they ignore while ignoring their local clubs to live and play abroad.
DeleteThese same people you condemn for colonialism are the ones keeping us alive with HIV drugs, and treatment or ebola and lassa fever which they paid for and physically did. All the universities in Africa have only produced paperweight academics who memorize the giant strides that others have made but have done little to contribute to solution. Take that medicine and live!
Yes and of course they will be succefull. They can come to Naija now, once they can find a Nigerian government official to bribe...or do you this is their first time of performing these types of experiments on Africans.....Oh how I miss the griginal Abamieda...Fela Anikulapo Kuti
ReplyDeleteThat's why God keeps punishing white people with this viruses when SARS came.african was too hot for it,if you check out the most persons affected are mostly Caucasians. These white people see us as guinea pigs for their experiments. The issue is that the cases in Africa are lower than other continents and that is giving the white,cause for concern. It's just God ,cause he knows our leaders are terrible.
ReplyDelete👌
DeleteStella they are trying to cover up oo, don't mind them. They want to come and inject corona into Africans since the number of carriers is not sounding like that of US and Italy.
ReplyDeleteOld news especially if you watch youtube. the vaccine will contain the real coronavirus! The 'covid19' they are touting now is just a copycat version spread by 5G. LOOK it up!
DeleteUnprofessional doctors... The study they should be doing at ground zero, that is in Wuhan China.
ReplyDeleteI said it before that if this Wuhan Corona virus has started in Africa, the WHO and these Caucasians wouldn't have allowed it spread. They would have tried their best to lockdown the continent and make sure the virus remains there until they find some form of solutions.
But, it all started in communist China and they are all now afraid to call a spade a spade.
I watched the UN president saying they should pay China some money yesterday, I was fuming.
Their mouths and hands has been watered by China, so they are all taking side with them.
Nigeria should be very careful, they are still surprise how the virus is not spreading like wildfire in Africa. They will try their best to renamed the Wuhan coronavirus and put it on Africa.
Stupid people.
Ms.A
Pay China money for what exactly? China should be the one to pay other countries for the economic losses we've encountered cause this yeye virus started from their country.
DeleteOn points.
DeleteAt this point you cannot blame Africans for sounding this way because we cannot trust anyone. Is time to shine eyes and be sure they are not going to infect us with their evil plans.
ReplyDeleteIt's or it is time not is time
DeletePerxian is that you@Anon 09:38😒😒
DeleteEverytime Nigerian celeb @Ev you what have done?
ReplyDeleteAnon troll, the painment still never leave you after 1 week+? Hahaha!!
DeleteStay pressed 😎 cos your pain just started.
OMG, you guys missed something very important here, they did a study or an experiment on HIV using African prostitutes. I've always heard whites infected Africans with HIV but I thought it was nonsense, now the truth is coming out. Just imagine the sheer disregard for african lives. Now they say Africa is the hub of HIV meanwhile the truth lies in the statement by these covidiots.
ReplyDeleteOf course the numerous stories of these scientists inflecting prostitute with HiV and using them as guinea pigs is very true.
DeleteAfrican leaders or should I say rulers are part to blame for this. They like to sell their kinds to the Caucasians for all kinds of experiments.
They tested HIV AIDs on monkeys and then the monkeys escaped, monkey hunters hunted the monkeys, and serve them as meal, the eater is infected with the deadly virus and starts spreading it without knowing..
Ms.A
Read well, lol. The Jokes on you.
DeleteThey are just guilty of using us as Guinea pigs.
If at all HIV was engineered, it was by the Americans.
Meanwhile, who else noticed sex moves the world?.
Something that started probably in one or few persons in America has reached the whole world.
Seriously? Who is to blame if not our useless rulers whose actions have kept the continent backward.
ReplyDeleteWOW! White people hate us for real. and yet Africans are same people that look down on fellow blacks or bleach their skin to look white, same Africans think anything yellow or fair skinned is finer than dark skin woman.pathetic souls!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read SMS understood, they were talking from a warped sense of helping us.
ReplyDeleteThey were just trying to say we need the vaccines more cos the large mortality we might have.
Truth be told, this virus is not spreading as it has been spreading in other countries. Cos if it has, Na beg we go beg for the vaccines
They should help themselves first.
DeleteThat's how I understood it too but fear will not let me interprete this one.
DeleteI don’t understand your reasoning. Please clarify me on this. A CONTINENT that has just 6000 cases with less than 300 deaths , underreported or not and a COUNTRY that has 100,000 cases with 5000 deaths, please who needs this more?
DeleteCome on!
Wait, we have large mortality???? 😂😂😂😂 You must be joking.
DeleteIf it's about the mortality rate, they should go test it on Italians, Spanish and the Americans.
Supporting and justifying rubbish
No, I don’t think that was what they meant. I think they mean we will be more desperate to accept just anything as we are clueless on how to help ourselves; that’s what it means to take advantage of people.
DeleteClinical trials always come with casualties or other consequences. All they need for a clinical trial are willing participants. Is there a scarcity of willing participants in their country? If yes, they reserve the right to ask people all around the world to ‘volunteer’.
But the problem I see here is that a drug, not yet certified as a cure, could be sent to a continent and probably used on people who are not aware that they are being guinea pigs. That is just wrong.
The impetus with which they spoke about a ‘study’ and ‘things done on prostitutes’ speaks volumes on their intentions.
Africans are always the guinea pigs na... SMH😓
ReplyDeleteI don’t blame them but what they do not realise is it will backfire. Yeah, they should come and test it on Africans and they fail to remember that our body type is different from theirs. They test it and we survive and build more immunity, they think they have succeeded. They go back and test it on theirs and boom, their morgues won’t contain them.
ReplyDeleteInstead of them to find out the reasons why it’s mostly the whites that are dying like chickens in this virus and use it on them first, they are busy bringing their yeye plans to Africa.
Please they should come oh.
Next they will be taking the plasma of the blacks and injecting into their whites to build that immunity they are craving for.
This should be a wake up call for everyone who feels that because they are based abroad and with good healthcare and all ( not sure about this right now) these whites will always see this colour as lab rats and won’t value you in any way.
Just do you without ridiculing your counterparts in the less privileged countries. They just might be better than you in some areas.
Please they should open the airports for them oh.
I seriously hate nonsense
***This should be a wake up call for everyone who feels that because they are based abroad and with good healthcare and all ( not sure about this right now) these whites will always see this colour as lab rats and won’t value you in any way.
DeleteLoud it!!! All those that will be running down their country because they are now overseas, read shyla's comment again and again.
My only happiness is that if this virus was transported from Africa, hah! We would have been blacklisted for live, regardless of where you may be. Home or abroad.But alas. Infact the travel ban will affect all blacks. That’s if they will not even revoke their visas
ReplyDeleteLife
DeleteNa see finish cause this nonsense, I nor blame una...And to think that some of the best doctors over there are from Africa, if only our leaders were responsible and provided them with equipments,resources to do research and pay them well, na una for dey beg us for the vaccine by this time 😕😕 nuts heads.
ReplyDeleteAfrica the dumping ground of all manner of trash!!
ReplyDeleteAfrica the hungry useless worthless lowest animals kingdom,
Will I blame them?? Nba nu!
It's just not their fault.
Blame the African leaders who have refused to make good use of our natural resources......its not their fault. ☹️☹️😓😓🤦♀️SMBH#CHISOM
God sees their hearts thats why he is sending plaques to them to pay them for infecting us with HIV
