Poland has found a way to finally put those hobos to use. Unfortunately, they are dying in the process. I can’t help but feel for the above homeless man and his anger towards the evils of Polish doctors.
In order to test a possible vaccine for the bird flu, 3 doctors and 6 nurses headed into town and found a few homeless people. Being bribed with the equivalent of 3 dollars, they were stuck with a needle they were told contained a traditional flu vaccine.
While it is still “unknown” whether or not the leads of death are due to the vaccine, what the doctors have done here isn’t quite what I like to call humanitarian.
Poor bums. I hate needles, but these guys will do anything for a buck or two. I wish I could hire some of the hobos around Thailand to write for me. Unfortunately, the ones that speak English avoid my capture.
As for this story - this might not be the first time they’ve done tests on homeless men and women, though.
The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus.
And then in Poland again:
In 2002, a number of ambulance medics were found guilty of killing their patients for commissions from funeral companies.
Oh, boy. Remind me never to go broke in Poland. I don’t want my intestines turned into some of their scrumptious sausage. Perhaps that is the secret ingredient.
