At least 12 in#ants who were part o# a clinical stu$% to test a pneumonia &accine ha&e $ie$ in
Argentina o&er the course o# the past %ear.
The stu$% was sponsore$ b% 'la(oSmith)line an$ uses chil$ren #rom poor #amilies. Accor$ing to
the Argentine *e$eration o# +ealth ,ro#essionals the #amilies are -pressure$ an$ #orce$ into

Dr. Mercola Dr. Mercola's Comments:
'la(oSmith)line is counting on its e(pan$e$ &accines research to boost its bottom line wor0ing
on 1protection. against a wi$e &ariet% o# the worl$2s most common $iseases. 3t2s un#ortunate that
so man% people are still clueless about the ruthless &accine practices o# pharmaceutical
companies li0e 'S) an$ the $angers an$ outright nee$lessness o# most o# these &accines.
Accor$ing to a 'la(o spo0eswoman 14Sa#et% is alwa%s our primar% concern in the $e&elopment
o# an% new treatment or &accine. All stu$ies are con$ucte$ accor$ing to the highest ethical an$

an% t%pe o# state control. an$ 1$oes not compl% with minimum ethical re8uirements..
9ho $o %ou belie&e: The local health pro#essionals or the $rug giant citing compliance with
