The Constant Gardener--This is the Story of John Keogh

John le Carré's book was published in 2001. The author wrote of his own book, "By comparison with the reality, my story [is] as tame as a holiday postcard." What is the truth like? Pfizer's case against Trovan in Nigeria is not over yet. The prosecution alleges that Pfizer conducted clinical trials of Trovan on 200 sick children during the meningitis outbreak in Nigeria in 1996. Roche's Rochephin is a generic and effective drug), resulting in 11 children dying and others being disabled, blind, deaf, or brain disabled. I think it's entirely possible for a large pharmaceutical company like Pfizer to illegally use poor countries with poor legal systems to conduct clinical trials. Looking at the reports on the Internet, there are many confusing details that make people think about the bad side. So this is the story of John le Carré!

Supplementary comment: I remember it was good, but I didn't like it because I can't remember the reason for 3 stars or 4 stars. I can't be sure. Maybe it's because I can't watch Ralph's cups and British patients. It's tortured me enough.

Politics, interests, corruption, killings, dirty deals that look like aid. . . . Is the world really like this? Who benefits? Who instructed?

Arthur "Ham" Hammond: So who has got away with murder? Not, of course, the British government. They merely covered up, as one does, the offensive corpses. Though not literally. That was done by person or persons unknown. So who has committed murder? Not, of course, the highly respectable firm of KDH Pharmaceutical, which has enjoyed record profits this quarter, and has now licensed ZimbaMed of Harare, to continue testing Dypraxa in Africa. No, there are no murders in Africa. Only regrettable deaths. And from those deaths we derive the benefits of civilization, benefits we can afford so easily... because those lives were bought so cheaply.
