  GlaxoSmithKline Argentina Laboratories company was fined 400,000 pesos  by Judge Marcelo Aguinsky following a report issued by the National  Administration of Medicine, Food and Technology (ANMAT in Spanish) for  the killing of 14 babies during illegal lab vaccine trials conducted  between 2007 and 2008.
  Likewise, two doctors -Héctor Abate, and Miguel Tregnaghi- were fined  with 300,000 pesos each for irregularities during the studies. The  charges included experimenting with human beings, falsifying parental  authorizations so babies could participate in vaccine-trials conducted  by the laboratory from 2007 to 2008.
  Since 2007, 15,000 children under the age of one from Mendoza, San Juan  and Santiago del Estero have been included in the research protocol, a statement  of what the study is trying to achieve. Babies were recruited from poor  families that attended to public hospitals. A total of 7 babies died in  Santiago del Estero; 5 in Mendoza; and 2 in San Juan.
  Pediatrician Ana Marchese, who reported the case through the Argentine  Federation of Health Professionals (FESPROSA in Spanish), and was  working at the Eva Perón children’s public hospital in Santiago del  Estero when the studies wee being conducted, said this morning in  conversations with Continental AM radio that “GSK Argentina set an  protocol at the hospital, and recruited several doctors working there.”
  “These doctors took advantage of many illiterate parents whom take  their children for treatment by pressuring and forcing them into signing  these 28-page consent forms and getting them involved in the trials.”  “Laboratories can’t experiment in Europe or the United States, so they  come to do it in third-world countries.” Colombian and Panama were also  chosen by GSK as staging grounds for trials of the vaccine against the  pneumococcal bacteria.
  Likewise, Marchese, explained the modus operandi: “Once a picked  patient arrived, it would automatically disappear to be taken somewhere  else in order to be treated by those doctors specially recruited by GSK.  These kind of practices are not legal and occurred without any type of  state control, plus they don’t comply with minimum ethical  requirements.”
  Marchese also remembered that “laboratory trials on human beings are  not legalized in Argentina.” Furthermore, the pediatrician explained  that “it is also known that in various particular cases, the doctors who  had conducted the trials did not answer the calls made by the worried  parents after witnessing their babies’ reactions to the vaccines.”
  According to Marchese, “there already exist very good vaccines for the  same diseases, but we all know how laboratories work, they only care for  their own business.”
  To end, Doctor Marchese aimed to Santiago del Estero Governor, Gerardo  Zamora, who “never ever came out to stage to comment on the case, and  same happened with national deputies and senators that didn’t even  bother into discussing a hot topic that was echoed worldwide. I’m also  ashamed of the scientific community that also kept its mouth shut.”
  Julieta Ovejero, great aunt of one of the six babies who died in  Santiago del Estero, said that “A lot of people wanted to leave the  protocol but they weren’t allowed; they forced them to continue under  the threat that if they leave they won’t receive any other vaccine.”
