Two French Drs want to give coronavirus vaccine to Africa in addition to Europe & Aus

I mean there's two clear interpretations of this situation, and there's no evidence to prove either side, so it's fundamentally a battle of opinion. You either take on an optimistic viewpoint (like me who thinks that the doctors want to help Africa) or you take on a pessimistic viewpoint (like yourself) who says they view Africans as animals to test upon.

Okay but if you put your pride away for a second, you will realise how dangerously at risk Africa is.
1) Africa's healthcare systems are not up to standards of Europe and North America. The countries are not as rich and therefore do not have as much money to spend on medical supplies, as the doctors said such as masks and ventilators.
2) Many countries in the continent of Africa are third-world. There are many crowded and unsanitary places (not all of course) in which a disease would spread quickly.
3) Europe, whilst not perfect, is much better in both of these things, and yet the virus came in waves. Whilst there might only be 50 cases or whatever in Africa right now, it's predicted that if they do not contain this, the whole continent will suffer, worse than anywhere else in the world. So surely, we should priotize Africa. Europe can handle themselves, we have great medical systems etc.
It's just the truth, not a matter of opinion. Africa need to be put above Europe in priority to stop there being a spread.

There is no easy answer to this one. I wonder why the French doctors are not testing it in France first. Is it because maybe rules and regulations on vaccine tests are different in Africa?

They are testing in France.

And I’d say there’s only one view to this. Historically and right now, there’s only one view. Why not help yourself first? I mean if you think you’re coming to help Africans have you helped yourself with the optimistic vaccine? No! You’re only helping if you’re 100 percent it works and they don’t even know that. Africa has less than 70 deaths from the virus yet EU with more than 7k deaths wants to come to Africa to help? No sis, it don’t work that way except they don’t know what they’re doing

Thank you I didn't know that. I was only going off the video itself which is my bad.

According to the BBC article that someone has linked below, it turns out that they are testing the vaccine in France, the rest of Europe and Australia and the doctors in the video were suggesting that we should ALSO test it in Africa. Incerm has said themselves that it has been interperted the wrong way. So clearly it wasn't a matter of racism and simply trying to HELP Africa which is being left out of efforts to cure the world.

If you’re not ignorant for just a second you’d see where those doctors are coming from. Don’t you get? They don’t know if the vaccine works so they’re just looking for lab rats to test whatever they’ve cooked up. It isn’t a cure. The whole world is at risk, the whole world!
They keep on predicting and predicting for and about Africans but why can’t they predict when they’ll be able to curb this in the EU? Wtf, did Africa give y’all this virus? Every African that has this virus contracted it from people in The America, EU and Asian continent so I don’t exactly get what you’re saying.
Talk about priority but how do you prioritize something by gambling with it’s life like it means nothing?

This whole thread is a ****ing mess because the OP failed to actually link to an article which clears this whole thing up.

Europe and Australia are where the trials are being started, Africa was suggestion to be added to the trial to ensure they are not left out.

Yes I understand that now and I'll edit my OP. But just to let you know, no one who is reacting to this situation is aware of the trials going on in Europe and Australia. That's why the reaction was as it was.

This is why you should always include a source when making a thread about news.

You can keep your negative interpretations, because at the end of the day, if you can't provide any evidence to support them, they lead you nowhere. Stop making everything about race and you will realise that every single person in this world is desperately trying to minimise the worldwide damage of this virus.

I added their names so that people could find their own sources and decide what to believe. I don't want to be accused of putting a biased source or something of the sorts.

Oh please! You started this thread when you didn’t know that information so don’t pretend like that was the motive

The same way you should stop demeaning other races with your supposed ignorant believe to help them. That’s ****ty! Trying to save Africans when you’ve not saved yourselves

Yes I know, but it turns out that my interpretation is supported by evidence and yours isn't. So the conclusion is that the doctors' motives were not racist.
