Reminder that in 1969 21 Punjabi women were fed radioactive chapattis.
A van would pull up outside their homes giving them for free.
They contained radioactive salts.
None of them knew about it.
No consent was given.
Although in the 90's, the Medical Research Council in the UK objected to victims speaking out about it.
Insisting consent was given and they even have a Gujurati speaker to translate.
... Despite the victims being Punjabi women who didn't speak Gujurati.
These chapattis were given with the promise of giving health benefits to Punjabi women going to the doctors for things like migraines.
But no... Keep telling me how our government cares about us.
There's a documentary about it called Deadly Experiments, and I've linked the article about a victim speaking out about it.

It's truly despicable but ultimately not suprising.
