Did Twitter in retweets not display the added context at the bottom which says this particular doctor illegally expirimented on infants and served prison time?

Yeah, but he did it to make the child resistant to illness. That's a worthy cause.

The whole point of ethics is that violating it makes it inherently unworthy. There were other safe and known methods for these children and my understanding is there is no guarantee that what he did would be effective.

He did it to make a name for himself. He's not some rogue doctor illegally manufacturing and distributing insulin to diabetics who can't afford it, he's a self important narcissist who thought he could do what he wanted and that he was above the law.
