Respond to So what is your point? It is as I said, except now they want to experiment on children as well. Even though children do not really have a problem with Covid at all. Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male [1] [2] [3] (informally referred to as the "Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment," the "Tuskegee Syphilis Study," the "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the African American Male," the "U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee," or the "Tuskegee Experiment") was an ethically abusive study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). [4] [5] The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis . Although the African-American men who participated in the study were told that they were receiving free health care from the federal government of the United States, they were not. [6] Tuskegee University (then the Tuskegee Institute), a historically black college in Alabama. In the study, investigators enrolled a total of 600 impoverished African-American sharecroppers from Macon County, Alabama . [6] Of these men, 399 had latent syphilis, with a control group of 201 men who were not infected. [5] As an incentive for participation in the study, the men were promised free medical care, but were deceived by the PHS, who never informed subjects of their diagnosis [7] [8] [9] [10] and disguised placebos, ineffective methods, and diagnostic procedures as treatment. [11] [5] After funding for treatment was lost, the study was continued without informing the men that they would never be treated. None of the infected men were treated with penicillin despite the fact that by 1947, the antibiotic was widely available and had become the standard treatment for syphilis. [12] [13] The study caused the deaths of 128 of its participants, either directly from syphilis or related complications. [14] At the study’s commencement, major medical textbooks had recommended that all syphilis be treated, as the consequences were quite severe. At that time, treatment included treatment with arsenic-based compounds such as arsphenamine (branded as the "606" formula). [4] Initially, subjects were studied for six to eight months and then treated with contemporary methods, including Salvarsan ("606,") mercurial ointments, and bismuth , which were mildly effective and highly toxic. [6] Additionally, men in the study were administered disguised placebos, ineffective methods, and diagnostic procedures, which were misrepresented as treatments for syphilis and/or "bad blood."
