Speak against the testing of experimental vaccines in Africa
In France PR Camille Locht has suggested testing in Africa. As the UK is in transition out of the EU, we would like you to take the opportunity to speak against this and ensure us your researchers will follow no such pattern.
It is humanitarian issue and we would like someone to address the legality of this in International Law.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about the location of trials would be a decision for pharmaceutical companies, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a petition calling for certain conditions to be attached to any UK Government funding for trials, such as location, or provision of any resultant vaccines to local communities, if this is what you would like to happen.
You may be interested to know that the UK has started trials on a vaccine in the UK. You can find out more here: http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2020-05-22-oxford-covid-19-vaccine-begin-phase-iiiii-human-trials
