The activity under investigation dates back 70 years in Ireland.
"Scientists secretly vaccinated more than 2,000 children in religious-run homes in suspected illegal drug trials, it emerged today," according to the Daily Mail.
"Old medical records show that 2,051 children and babies in Irish care homes were given a one-shot diphtheria vaccine for international drugs giant Burroughs Wellcome between 1930 and 1936. There is no evidence that consent was ever sought, nor any records of how many may have died or suffered debilitating side-effects as a result."
"The scandal was revealed as Irish premier, Enda Kenny, ordered ministers to see whether there are more mass baby graves after the discovery that 800 infants may be buried in a septic tank outside a former mother and baby home in Tuam, Co. Galway."
