Daddy Sang, Your initial reaction to the vaccine trials about to take place in The Gambia is justified given the perceived attitude of the west toward Africa;perhaps I should have prefaced my earlier statement with the prevailing atmosphere of mistrust. Otherwise,I suspect, we are on the same wave length.To further assure you, the health authorities in Banjul,Medical Research Council and WHO among others will, most certainly, be monitoring the exercise. sidi sanneh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
