THIRD WORLD STERILIZATION
Third World Sterilisation & Birth Control - a Hidden Agenda?
The drug, Quinacrine, was widely used in third world mass sterilisation programmes - often concealed as "clinical trials." Even though the World Health Organisation had warned the drug was unfit for humans, these trials continued with funding provided by private US foundations - concerned at the US "national security" threat of growing the third world population. Another drug, Norplant, was similarly used as a prolonged birth control vaccine in the poorest nations of the world. Surgically implanted beneath the skin, the drug caused serious health side effects. This led one health worker to bitterly state "It's cheaper for them [America] to use Third World women than to use an animal in a laboratory in the west."
