- yunohn 6y agoWow, I’d never heard of the Pfizer case. Here’s a crazy snippet: “Pfizer argued that it was not required to obtain informed consent for experimental drug trials in Africa, and that any case should be heard in Nigeria”
- juanani 6y ago>Wow, I’d never heard of the Pfizer case. From the Wiki article >Pfizer subsequently settled the case out of court with a $75 million settlement that was subject to a confidentiality clause. Does the confidentiality clause also suppress media or is that a separate payment to whoever is putting their nose into it? I'm curious how these stories get out, and are there others that don't ever reach Wiki articles?

- sschueller 6y agoI'm definitely getting the Vaccine, just saying, it's not easy to just blindly trust anyone.
- thehappypm 6y agoCost is by far the least interesting part of this for me. These are all astoundingly affordable vaccines. $18 is the cost of a big bottle of Claritin!
