WikiLeaks Reveals (More) Foul Play in Pfizer Drug Case - Hartford Advocate

WikiLeaks Reveals (More) Foul Play in Pfizer Drug Case - Hartford Advocate: "Connecticut has been sucked into the controversy surrounding the WikiLeaks release of secret U.S. diplomatic cables, and the reason is the legal and financial issues swirling around Pfizer’s controversial 1996 drug test on desperately ill children in Nigeria. One of those secret documents could result in new lawsuits in Connecticut, according to a lawyer in the case.

The world’s largest pharmaceutical company’s Groton-New London research facilities developed the drug Trovan used in the allegedly illegal test, which critics say resulted in death for at least 11 children stricken with meningitis and major injuries to others."
