Results of the vaccine trial were compiled 1991. The vaccine was providing
protection in 57% of cases. That was not enough to add it to the Norwegian
vaccination program. As the meningococcus b epidemic was dying out, the vaccine
was never used in Norway the way it was meant to be.
After the request from the World Health Organization (WHO), the vaccine was
exported to New Zealand, during 2001.....As Norwegian
authorities were paying compensation to vaccine victims, the same vaccine was
exported to New Zealand and used on small kids. To say it nice, they enlisted
hundreds of thousands of small kids into a gigantic experiment, says Jan Helge
Solbakk, professor in medical ethics.
