Tuskegee Experiment: The Infamous Syphilis Study


February 24, 2022

This is the first of three stories. The second story will concern the Aids epidemic, and finally a story on Coronavirus. The story recently published “Removed for the 4th. time” contained what I believe the media will and will not report on. I blame myself for reading Sharyl Attkisson books.

How do you get your news?

I don’t give a damn what information the Federal Government releases to the media. I do care about what the media reports to us, and I don’t want what comes out of government mouths, and media accepting it as the “truth and nothing but the truth” concerning the virus and miraculous vaccine. I can share a dozen stories of friends and acquaintances who have passed on after receiving the vaccine and booster.

The day of the Investigator Reporter is dying, but not dead yet. Let’s pray for their recovery, and their editors allow them to do what they do best, Investigate and report the truth.

It’s your body and your decision what you put into it. Want to smoke–your decision, Don’t eat meat–your decision, couple of cocktails–your decision, don’t want the vaccine–your decision.

It’s reported people of color are pushing back against the vaccine. endangering the rest of the population. All out program to get them vaccinated. Hey, come on it’s free medicine to keep you and America safe. Still they don’t bite. Could the story below be the cause of their apprehension.

Here is what the Federal Government inflicted on African Americans in 1932.

Below is a story from “History.” Remember what they say about history? “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” quote by George Santayana.

“The Tuskegee experiment began in 1932, at a time when there was no known treatment for syphilis, a contagious venereal disease. After being recruited by the promise of free medical care, 600 African American men in Macon County, Alabama were enrolled in the project, which aimed to study the full progression of the disease.

The men were monitored by health workers but only given placebos such as aspirin and mineral supplements, despite the fact that penicillin became the recommended treatment for syphilis in 1947, some 15 years into the study. PHS (Public Health Service) researchers convinced local physicians in Macon County not to treat the participants, and instead research was done at the Tuskegee Institute.

In the mid-1960s, a PHS venereal disease investigator in San Francisco named Peter Buxton found out about the Tuskegee study and expressed his concerns to his superiors that it was unethical. In response, PHS officials formed a committee to review the study but ultimately opted to continue it—with the goal of tracking the participants until all had died, autopsies were performed and the project data could be analyzed.

Buxton then leaked the story to a reporter friend, who passed it on to a fellow reporter, Jean Heller of the Associated Press. Heller broke the story in July 1972, prompting public outrage and forcing the study to finally shut down.

As a result of the Tuskegee experiment, many African Americans developed a lingering, deep mistrust of public health officials and vaccines. In part to foster racial healing, President Bill Clinton issued a 1997 apology, stating, “The United States government did something that was wrong—deeply, profoundly, morally wrong… It is not only in remembering that shameful past that we can make amends and repair our nation, but it is in remembering that past that we can build a better present and a better future.”

Tuskegee wasn’t the first unethical syphilis study. In 2010, then-President Barack Obama and other federal officials apologized for another U.S.-sponsored experiment, conducted decades earlier in Guatemala. In that study, from 1946 to 1948, nearly 700 men and women—prisoners, soldiers, mental patients—were intentionally infected with syphilis (hundreds more people were exposed to other sexually transmitted diseases as part of the study) without their knowledge or consent.”

The Tuskegee experiment began in 1932 and ended in 1972 = 40 years.     US Presidents were:

1932 Herbert Hoover Republican 2 years
1934—1944 Franklin Roosevelt Democrat 10 years
1945—1952 Harry S. Truman Democrat 8years
1953—1960 Dwight D. Eisenhower Republican 8 years
1961—1962 John F. Kennedy Democrat 2 years
1963—1968 Lyndon B. Johnson Democrat 6 years
1969—1972 Richard M. Nixon Republican 4 years

7 Presidents Republicans 14 years    Democrats 26 years=40 years

Because of my parents religious and political view I was raised Catholic and Democrat.
I will die a Catholic.
