re: #291 Dangerman

and this is how subject matter amateurs get into trouble
i had the idea, so i went looking for justification
goggling got me ” The Tuskegee experiment began in 1932 “
and that’s where i stopped
a complete error on my part.
so you are 100% right on the recency

i’m gonna stay with my general thought:
- it is difficult to objectively use tuskegee to justify not getting vaccinated for covid now.
- given how the vaccines (multiple) were created, by who, the distribution process, and the current pandemic circumstances

viscerally though, absolutely.

and before i make things worse, i think i’ve said enough

I suspect “Tuskegee” is shorthand for “minorities in general, and blacks in particular often are treated poorly by the medical establishment even when they have access to the system.”
However, considering how the privileged white folks around here scrambled to get the vaccine, adult children driving their parents for 2 or 3 hours to where the vaccines were available and so forth, I think the idea that the doctors want to experiment on the minorities with the vaccine is a bit of a stretch.
