re: #241 A Mom Anon

im gonna take what may be a contrarian view
and as a white guy i may not have the right ‘sensitivity’ and if so, apologies in advance

i think using Tuskegee as an excuse is not really valid
- it was almost 100 years ago
- the world and the country have changed - yes not enough, but just enough
- the circumstances are entirely different - no you werent in the development lab, but everyone is getting this same jab (unless you think it’s some conspiracy and we’re getting different drugs than ‘them’)

again, i understand long memories and that i may not have the right to suggest 100 years is ‘long enough’

but you cant just pick a thing out of the past and say ‘this is why’.
if you’re trying to make a connected, rational argument, you have to have some reasoning why that means this.

otherwise it’s a conclusion drawn from feelings/faith.
and that is fine.
but it’s not a justification because what happened then could be happening again.
