In the Public Hearings of South Africa's " Truth and
Reconciliation Commission" 1996-1999,
some AIDS- related confessions were made by former supporters of the
apartheid regime.
Scholars are reflecting on the full implications of these confessions for
understanding
the AIDS pandemic in South Africa and the former frontline states. On Contaminated Polio and Meningitis Vaccines, note the
following:
Dr Haruna Kaita of the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ahmadu Bello
University,
Nigeria commented on the contaminants identified in the WHO sponsored Oral
Polio Vaccines of February 2004
in the Weekly Trust, Kaduna, Nigeria.
