Irate social media users have slammed two French doctors, Jean Paul Mira and Camille Locht for saying that a new treatment drug for novel coronavirus should first be tested in Africa.
The medical experts said this while on live television citing the use of prostitutes in Africa to carry out test vaccines for the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) as an instance.
One of the doctors, Mira who is the Head of Resuscitation Department at Cochin Hospital, expressed the opinion that Africa is a good continent to try the drug because of its perceived toughness to disease outbreaks.

This is horrific. Two French doctors on live television are discussing how a potential new treatment against #covid19 should be first tested in Africa, “where are no masks, no treatment, no reanimation”, “the same way experimental treatment for AIDS was done on prostitutes”. https://t.co/ojYb8GnKkI
