What does Mr Beck have to say about this?

This story seemed to come and go quite quickly- not much coverage at all.

This is worse than the Tuskegee experiment where the Sharecroppers already had Syphilis. Bad stuff but all done around the same time--I wonder if either set of doctors knew about the others.

I have heard of another case in France where half a Breton village "went mad" with some kind of "ergotism" (fungus found in wheat etc) at the end of the Second World War and the suspicion is some kind of experiment... Just when you thought things couldn't get any more sinister...

Its sad that this is stuff is never reported, or if it is its just like ... oops, oh well, people should be convicted for this stuff.

I wonder why it doesn't... it might be just an impression but it seems like France has given the subject the widest coverage.
