Never Ever Forget About the Tuskegee Experiment

I bet you’ve never heart of the Tuskegee Experiment.

When you think that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Public Health Physicians have your best interest in mind, just remember the Tuskegee Experiment started in 1932 in Macon County, Alabama.

After being recruited by the promise of free medical care, 600 African American men in Macon County, Alabama were enrolled in a project which aimed to study the full progression of the sexually transmitted disease syphilis.

The participants were primarily sharecroppers, and many had never visited a doctor. Doctors from the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS), which was running the study, informed the participants—399 men with latent syphilis and a control group of 201 others who were free of the disease—they were being treated for “bad blood,” a term commonly used in the area at the time to refer to a variety of ailments.

They were blatantly lied to by HHS and the CDC for over 40 years leading to 28 patients who died directly from syphilis, 100 died from complications related to syphilis, 40 of the patients’ wives were infected with syphilis, and 19 children were born with congenital syphilis.

In order to track the disease’s full progression, researchers provided no effective care as the men died, went blind or insane or experienced other severe health problems due to their untreated syphilis. Never EVER forget that multiple HHS supervisors and the CDC kept this secret for over 40 years.

How did they go about fixing this one? They created their own internal ethical policing board (OHRP) . . . still overseen by the slimy leadership of the HHS. Don’t you ever forget that the HHS, CDC and public health officials are some of the most unethical people on the planet.

Tuskegee wasn’t the first unethical syphilis study. In 2010, President 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 purpose of the study was to determine whether penicillin could prevent, not just cure, syphilis infection. Some of those who became infected never received medical treatment. The results of the study, which took place with the cooperation of Guatemalan government officials, were never published. The American public health researcher in charge of the project, Dr. John Cutler, went on to become a lead researcher in the Tuskegee experiments.

Following Cutler’s death in 2003, historian Susan Reverby uncovered the records of the Guatemala experiments while doing research related to the Tuskegee study. She shared her findings with U.S. government officials in 2010. Soon afterward, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius issued an apology for the STD study and President Obama called the Guatemalan president to apologize for the experiments.

Kathleen Sebelius was the HHS director until 2014. She was well aware of these dirty little secrets and played a key role in keeping them out of the press. Today, she and her group of crony politicians are attempting to do the same with the population of our entire country.

Sebelius, also the former Governor of Kansas and a key official in implementation of the Affordable Care Act, made her thoughts known about the experimental COVID-19 Vaccine in a friendly interview on CNN, according to RealClearPolitics.

“If you don’t choose to get vaccinated, you may not come to work. You may not have access to a situation where you’re going to put my grandchildren in jeopardy where you might kill them or you might put them in a situation where they’re going to carry the virus to someone in a high-risk position.”

Sebelius went on to say, “So I think we’re reaching that point in the United States for those of us who are vaccinated. I want to take off my mask. I want to be able to live my life with vaccination. And I’m being impinged on by people who say, I don’t want to get vaccinated. It’s fine, but I want them to maybe have a limitation on where they can go and who they can possibly infect.”

Never forget that the current players in our government and Public Health Services won’t bat an eye at destroying your life or livelihood for their political gain.
