"Our PRs have not stated in any way that ten Kenyans participated in a clinical study. Read them again. They say only that ten Kenyans have received treatment."


Please don't be disingenuous. The admistration of an unapproved treatment for HIV/AIDS to any patients by the company producing that treatment constitutes a clinical study.

Just because you chose deliberately to ignore all the steps you should have taken before conducting such a study doesn't alter that fact.

Nor unfortunately does it alter the fact that by administering your unapproved treatment in a study that was unregistered, not submitted to an Ethics Committee nor conducted as required through a recognised Kenyan institution, that you have put the lives of those particpating in jeopardy - as your PR clearly states they chose to discontinue their life-saving ARVs.

It's precisely because of such risks that US law, International law, Kenyan law and the Nuremberg Code insist upon certain ethical standarsd before you subject your victims to clinical trials.


The fact you chose to ignore those standards doesn't mean it wasn't a clinical study.

It just means it was a highly illegal clinical study, and that you, Emmanuel Mutisya and AQLV are all guilty of conspiracy to commit second degree murder or manslaughter, or for all we know the actual commision of such an act.
