AIDS Pharmaceutical Scam

This is a pretty wild story about a lady that was diagnosed for AIDS when she was pregnant, and it turned out be a wrong diagnosis. She decided to participate in a “study” where she was put on heavy experimental phamaceuticals and died shortly after giving birth. She was kept on the drugs for a number of months, getting sicker week after week, and she was kept on it - as part of the "experiment". It’s sad that corruption like this goes on. Don’t know what the figures are on things like this, would need to do more research, but I’m sure this isn’t just some isolated case. Apparently this was part of a NIH-directed study.
