Black Infants Used in Secret RSV Vaccine Trials
Description
Sixty years after two Black infants were secretly enrolled in a deadly 1960s RSV vaccine trial without consent, their families are suing the U.S. government for justice. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump leads the federal lawsuit, alleging the NIH exploited vulnerable Black children from low-income families in “Lot One Hundred,” whose tissue samples later helped create FDA-approved vaccines. Both infants died in 1967, and their families now demand accountability as the government remains silent. This haunting chapter of American medical history is finally being brought into the light — and the families won’t rest until justice is served.
