I believe it was in the 1950s or earlier . Volunteers were asked to help with some form of testing using injections , about 6 people applied , the testing was filmed and after the first injections or inoculations the volunteers got really sick but the scientists kept injecting and a few died . Their deaths were dreadful and those few who survived suffered afterwards . Does anyone remember this or am I deluded and maybe made it up !
That rings a bell. All I know for certain, though, is that there is at least one film - and a very good one - on that precise subject.

I can't remember the name, but there have been several, I believe. Here's one:

Re: £625

Thanks JBR . I cant quite remember if this was the one or much earlier I'll keep on thinking . It was horrific, the doctors still kept injecting and testing. Made me think theres no way I'd volunteer immagine the worst !

Edited to add . Yes JBR it is the documentary I watched I've just checked on you tube . Very scarey

Just realised I mentioned the 1950s just shows how I've lost track of time

But....Covid-19 is such an unknown entity. Just look at Flu! every year we have a flu jab to protect ourselves, but it really is pot luck with what type of flu strain is doing the rounds that year, as to whether we have truly been immunised and protected against it. One would imagine it is even worse with Covid, as the sciences say it could mutate into another strain, for which we would have no protection!

it really is Russian Roulette, but I admire those wishing to be Guinea Pigs, regardless of their reason for doing it.
