The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) late Thursday strongly condemned experts' comments on COVID-19 vaccine trials in Africa.
Africa CDC ''strongly condemns the very disgusting comments made by Professors Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Lotch on French Television on using Africans for testing a tuberculosis vaccine in clinical trials to see if it is protective against COVID-19,'' according to a statement.
''These racist and condescending comments must be condemned by all decent human beings. Indeed, COVID-19 is a global humanitarian crisis that requires global actions and global solidarity,'' the statement added.
