Hepatitis-B vaccine was an experimental vaccine given to homosexuals and intravenous drug users in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1978-1979.
I believe the theory was that they were an ideal cohort to test on as people would be unlikely to raise questions if they died (as they were less likely to have families and people would be more likely to attribute their death to life style choices). AIDS then broke out in the gay communities in those same cities.
The thing that made the people I knew so suspicious about the whole thing was how much focus was placed on the trial participants to monitor for unusual side effects throughout the whole trial (I meant to revist this topic with my friend who was intimately involved with the whole trial but he recently passed).
I will also note that there is a case to be made that AIDS was spread in Africa by a polio vaccine campaign (there was a tight correlation between the two and it was discussed in mainstream newspapers at the time).
Wow! Your knowledge is better than mine. Yes, Ed HopperтАЩs book The River explains the Africa origins by Dr. Hilary Kaprowski who says he never used chimpanzee kidneys to developer the polio shot, but employees and lab techs tell a different story. HereтАЩs the thing, Homosexuals weтАЩre given an experimental Hepatitis vaccine that was withdrawn just before HIV in the gay community and none of the trial participants were told in 1978, not to have unprotected sex, and compare with Tuskegee, where blacks were injected with syphilis and never told not to have unprotected sex. Lastly, why is HIV homosexual in America yet heterosexual in Africa. I refer you to KochтАЩs postulates.
Sorry
But I don't get your point.

So, in 43 years we learned nothing ?
