These were kids with AIDS? Not surpising many died. Nevertheless, being kids they wouldn’t have been able to give consent to participate in a clinical trial.
If kids without AIDS were used as controls and they died from the drugs, that would put this beyond the beagle story.
“These were kids with AIDS? “
I’m wondering the same thing. Story is missing information.
AIDS is no longer a death sentence. With the CORRECT treatment, the majority easily could have reached adulthood it would seem to me.
Yes, these children, because they were minors, could not give consent.
I read another article that called them “ aids orphans “ .
