There are so many inaccuracies in your statement, I almost don’t know where to begin.

1) The Constant Gardener is FICTION.
2) Trovan was a Phase 3 drug had been through animal and human testing.
3) The trial was in Nigeria because there was a major epidemic of meningitis that was killing thousands of children.
4) The name of the drug was never changed.

When is it right for them to come into (Africa, etc...) trial these drugs on poor unsuspecting children, and just think they can walk away! (this certain company didnt even trial Trovan on rats before giving it to the children!) How many other companies do the same and get away with it...? I wonder...... why did they feel they needed to go to Nigeria to trial Trovan, WHY NOT DO IT IN AMERICA/ENGLAND ETC.... Also, why has Pfizer changed the name of Trovan, to another name, but still the same ingredients? What else are they covering up?? THANKYOU.

It is a metaphor for so much that is wrong with Phrma. I have watched John LeCarre’s “The Constant Gardner” and read his book of the the same name countless times.
