Stop using Africans as Guinea pigs for your vaccines/Drugs
I want UK parliament to ask pharmaceutical companies to stop vaccine trials in Africa. Hence these vaccines or drugs can hardly be available in African countries . Do not use us as guinea pigs
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
