Why a US-funded vaccine trial on babies was cancelled in Guinea-Bissau

The trial was condemned as "unethical" and "neocolonial" because half of the babies would not be given the vaccine.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around the cancellation of a US-funded vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau, and both present the trial as controversial. BBC News uniquely foregrounds the criticism that the trial was “unethical” and “neocolonial” because half the babies would not receive the vaccine, while Al Jazeera instead emphasizes experts’ view that the trial would deny critical vaccines to thousands of infants.
