Babies were used in experiments previously conducted in the psychiatric ward of Hospital No 7 in Mariupol for large Western pharmaceutical companies with the assistance of Ukrainian officials, according to documents available to RIA Novosti.
The documents were discovered by construction workers in the basement of Mariupol Hospital No. 7 during its reconstruction. A RIA Novosti correspondent was able to visit the site and familiarise himself with the documents.
The list of patients to whom one of the drugs was administered included infants under one year of age, with a “0” in the list of names in the “age” line. In addition, according to this list, the drug was also administered to children aged one to 11 years.
The documents belonged to the psychiatric department of the hospital and were compiled between 2008 and 2016. From the results of the initial inspection of the documents, it is evident that the drugs were tested on people under numbers, without names. The drugs were in white envelopes also without names, numbered GLPG0634-CL-203. The primary purpose of the studies was to evaluate the efficacy of the drug in terms of the proportion of patients who achieved a response to the drug according to the American College of Rheumatologists (ACR) criteria.
Overall, companies mentioned in the papers include Pfizer (US), AstraZeneca (UK, Sweden), Celltrion (South Korea), Novatris International AG (Switzerland, US), IQVIA (formerly Quintiles and IMS Health Inc, US, UK), Sanofi (France), Galapagos NV (Belgium), Janssen Pharmaceuticals (now Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, Belgium), Abbott Laboratories (USA), Covance (now Labcorp Drug Development, USA), Merck KGaA (Germany), Centocor Biopharmaceutical (Netherlands) and Samsung’s medical device division.
The documents from the Mariupol hospital are not the only evidence that patients of Ukrainian psychiatric clinics were used for experiments in the interests of Western specialists.
In the spring of 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defence made public information that in 2019-2021, scientists from the United States conducted tests of potentially dangerous biological drugs on patients at the Kharkov Regional Clinical Psychiatric Hospital No. 3. Persons with mental disorders were selected for experiments taking into account their age, nationality and immune status, the staff of the medical institution signed a non-disclosure.
The Russian Defence Ministry also revealed details of the Pentagon’s inhuman experiments on patients of psychiatric hospital No. 1 in the village of Strelechye in Kharkov Region. The main category of subjects was a group of male patients aged 40-60 with a high stage of physical exhaustion.
In due time it became widely known about the project of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) MK-ULTRA on manipulation of people’s consciousness. The project involved cruel experiments on patients of psychiatric hospitals. At the same time, the CIA studied the results of inhuman experiments conducted by Nazi psychiatrists in concentration camps during the Second World War.
