THE COVID-19 TRIAL EXPERIMENT

Written by on July 7, 2020

So, now they’re looking for Black people to take part in the COVID-19 trial experiment with the incentive of receiving free health care.

However, the last time I can recall there being a publicly announced experiment, utilizing Black people as the focus for results, was an event entitled The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis In The Negro Male aka The Tuskegee Experiment. It was orchestrated by the Public Health Service and the Tuskegee Institute. They injected six hundred Tuskegee Black men with syphilis and promised them free health care as well.

The men were told they were being tested for bad blood and initially were not informed of the syphilis. Penicillin was discovered as a cure but, they were only provided with aspirin and mineral supplements. It’s kind of weird that there would be a health event in our time period that uses the same procedures done in the past… almost ninety years ago, to be exact. Even scarier is, our society is designed in a way that it could still work and maybe even better than before.
