几内亚比绍警方周一突袭丹麦研究人员办公室,查获用于新生儿乙肝疫苗试验的疫苗剂量1。该试验因设计缺陷引发广泛谴责,国际卫生专家认为其违反伦理1。美国卫生部长小罗伯特·肯尼迪曾试图用美国纳税人资金为该试验提供资金1。
试验领导者彼得·阿比和克里斯汀·斯塔贝尔·本恩目前正在接受丹麦当局关于科研不当行为的调查1。美国疾病控制与预防中心曾在12月向两人提供160万美元无竞争拨款1,但试验最终在1月被叫停1。该试验可能使数千名新生儿面临乙肝风险,相关并发症可导致肝硬化、癌症和过早死亡1。
Guinea-Bissau police conducted a raid on Monday at an office operated by Danish researchers, seizing vaccine doses intended for a hepatitis B vaccination trial on newborns 1. The trial has drawn international scrutiny after U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought to fund the study using American taxpayer money, prompting health experts to condemn the research as unethical 1.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had previously awarded the trial's leaders, Peter Aaby and Christine Stabell Benn, a noncompetitive grant of $1.6 million in December 1. The study was halted in January following widespread criticism over design flaws 1. According to reporting, the CDC had separately set aside an additional $1.6 million for the project in late September 1. Both researchers are now under investigation by Danish authorities for research misconduct 1. The trial posed potential risks to thousands of newborns, as hepatitis B infection can lead to cirrhosis, cancer, and premature death 1.
