Arsonists deserve prison regardless.

But yeah, experimenting on people with untested vaccines is a shitty move, too.

That might sound heavy handed but they really don't trust things like this

In the past Africans have caught foreign doctors doing all sorts of experiments and as well as even, allegedly spreading diseases under the guise of treatment.(HIV was allegedly spread in Apartheid South Africa, Mozambique and possibly other countries under the guise of vaccines, in order to attack Africans, by a group called SAIMR )

A place with tons of people, with the vast majority of them without adequate access to care.

they're testing a vaccine to see if it works. not distributing one that they already know works

they asked for volunteers there because they knew the proportion of people poor and desperate enough to accept being tested on is greater than in europe or the US. that might sound "logical" or something to some of you, but it's pretty sick. it's like how the military recruits in poor neighborhoods disproportionately

Point is, I've given you one reason why they're doing it there first.
Also, isn't the covid vaccine already deemed to be safe enough to start human trials?

The US should get it first. Maybe it can help stop the spread.

That's all nice that France wants to do research. How many of their own citizens are also taking these experimental vaccines?

You say that like the military recruiting in poor neighborhoods is a bad thing.

so it would be better if poor people weren't provided an opportunity to go to schools they could not afford otherwise?

They can do that without recruiters trying to influence kids into signing up by promising them money

We could have a system were people in poverty weren't farmed to risk theirs lives as well as potential permanent mental and physical damage as well as social stigma if there's a particularly bad war etc. If we want to have government programs to bail people out of poverty, I'm all for it, but they don't need to be connected to the military.

It leads to nothing good when the underclass of society feels they have no option but to potentially fight and die just to be able to go to college and get a job afterwards. If people with options don't join the military, that tells you something about the military.

that's a completely different issue from the military preying on poor people, and taking "one of their better options" will not fix the problem. particularly if they don't have better options.
