The families of two Black infants, Ross Otto Hambrick and Victor Marcellus King, who died in January 1967, are suing the U.S. government for damages after the infants were secretly administered an experimental vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The lawsuit claims that the boys, aged two months and four months, were selected without parental consent to receive a dangerous vaccine known as 'Lot 100.' The complaint, filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act, alleges that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) targeted the most vulnerable children, specifically Black infants from low-income families, for this trial. The infants' tissue samples, harvested during autopsies decades later, are said to have informed the development of RSV vaccines approved by federal regulators in 2023, which are now generating billions in revenue. This case highlights the troubling history of medical experimentation on Black Americans, echoing past injustices such as the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, for which President Bill Clinton formally apologized in 1997.
