Judge allows lawsuit to move forward for medical experimentation victims intentionally injected with syphilis

(Natural News) It almost sounds too horrific to be true: a government injecting people with syphilis intentionally so they can be used to test antibiotics. Unfortunately, for hundreds of Guatemalans, that nightmare was a reality in the 1940s, and it was the U.S. government carrying out the heinous acts – and it was just one of many occasions where humans have been unwittingly used as guinea pigs to test drugs.
Pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johns Hopkins University and the Rockefeller Foundation have now been ordered by a federal judge to face a $1 billion lawsuit over the roles they played in the horrific incident. A group of 444 victims and relatives are suing the defendants over the experiment, which sought to test out penicillin – a new drug at the time – and find ways to stop sexually transmitted diseases.
