Afia Schwarzenegger Blasts Food and Drugs Authority.

Controversial radio and television personality, Afia Schwarzenegger has chastised the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) for ordering Aflao to be used as the venue for the trial of a new vaccine.

The FDA officially gave an international pharmaceutical company the approval to commence Ebola vaccine trials in the country.

However, after several concerns raised by the citizenry, the Ministry of Health suspended the planned Ebola vaccine trials which was to take place at Hohoe in the Volta Region.

Afia Schwarzenegger in a Facebook post questioned why the FDA would not test monkeys with the vaccine instead of humans.

Good morning Food and Drugs Authority
you banned all celebrities from advertising alcoholic beverages on “Moral grounds “as if this country got no constitution!!!

“Yet u willing allow someone to test ebola drugs on students/people at hohoe just for 200 ghc and a mobile fone
What happened to all the monkeys in the forest??
Am not being tribalistic but why Hohoe and not Kumasi or Sunyani…are the Voltarians that weak??do they look like monkeys????
So what happened to testing new drugs on monkeys etc…why did America reject that vaccine to be tested in their country??
And why will we allow ebola drugs to be tested in Ghana(ebola free nation )
I will be very suprise if my Voltarians fold their arms and watch this happen!!!
Tweaaaaaaaa Food and Drugs Authority my …..
