WikiLeaks Exposes Pfizer's Corruption
Pfizer is revealed to have blackmailed Nigeria’s attorney general to get two lawsuits dropped. The suits were for harm done to children treated as unwitting guinea pigs in an unauthorized trial.
In 1996, during the worst pneumonia and meningitis epidemic Africa has ever known, Pfizer flew in a team to do a drug trial on children. They didn’t ask for permission.

Two other suits brought by the Nigerian government were mysteriously dropped at about the same time. No explanation was ever given.
