Two doctors in France have been widely criticized on various social media sites, after proposing to experiment with vaccines to be developed against the emerging kurna virus (Covid-19) in Africa.
According to many French media outlets, the director-general of the National Institute of Health and Medical Research, Camille Locket, and the President of the Emergency Hospital Kouchan Paris Jean-Paul Mira, presented this proposal while participating in a program on the local "LCI" channel regarding Corona.
In his television interview, Jean-Paul Mira suggests, "If I can be a bit provocative, should we not do this study in Africa where there are no masks, no treatment, no intensive care? As we did in some studies on AIDS.
Lochte accepted the proposal: "You are right. We are actually thinking of leading a study in Africa. We have already launched a call for bids and we are studying the idea strongly."
The medical statement was widely criticized on social media. Some considered what Yanem said was that the West still viewed Africans as less valuable than others.
And the anger reached some football stars like Didier Drogba who wrote, "Africa is not a laboratory! I strongly condemn these insulting and racist phrases. This is absolutely disgusting and disgusting."
"These statements are unacceptable," said former Education Minister Najat Falou Belkacem, in a tweet on Twitter.
