Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.
CDC awards $1.6 million for new hepatitis B vaccine study in Guinea-Bissau. Although the award recipients aren't named, the grant seems tailored to Danish researchers whose work is championed by anti-vaxxers but challenged by mainstream scientists.

But even with the subsidies, we have to be honest that working people are still left with unaffordable plans and crushing medical debt.
