Do you think these comments were horrifically racist?


WHO Chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus furiously slammed the RACIST call on AFRICA to become the TESTING GROUND for COVID-19!!

He said "Africa cannot and will not be a testing ground for any vaccine" adding the outrageous suggestion was a hangover form the "colonial mentality" and that it was a disgrace and appalling to hear during the 21st century that scientists would even suggest a thing and condemn it to the strongest terms possible

It comes as world powers are racing to find an antidoe that has infected more than 1.3 million people worldwide and killed over 70,000 with a vaccine that is over a year away

2 French Doctors were accused of racism last week for suggesting Africa be the testing ground because the people there were "highly exposed" even though Africa is not one of the most infected worldwide

Jean-Paul Mira said "If i can be provocative, shouldn't we be doing this study in Africa where there are no masks, no treatments, no resuscitation? A bit like as it is done elsewhere for some studies on Aids. In prostitutes, we try things because we know that they are highly exposed and that they do not protect themselves anyway".

Camille Locht, head of research at the Inserm Health Research Group agreed and said "You are right"

These comments caused outrage calling it racist as former soccer player, Didier Drogba said "It is totally inconceivable we keep cautioning this. Africa is not a testing lab"

Do you think these comments were racist?
