The Tuskegee Study

  • In 1932 the United States Public Health Service commissioned a study on the effects of untreated syphilis. 600 poor black men from Alabama were selected to be a part of the study and were told that they were being reviewed for “bad blood.” From there, the Tuskegee Study took a turn for the worst.
    Medical professionals were able to successfully diagnose two-thirds of the men in the study, and by 1940, a known treatment was available. But, instead of offering treatment, medical professionals opted to chart the course of the disease versus offer the known cure to the black men. In would take over 40 years before this study officially ended, and even longer before an official apology came from the United States government.
    In this episode of Black History in Two Minutes or So hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. - with additional commentary from Imani Perry of Princeton University and Hasan Jeffries of Ohio State University - we relive a horrific moment of unethical treatment and deceptive practices that still haunts African-Americans today.

    How does a government correct the horrors, the shame, the insults, the intentional pain and suffering of its own people?

    • @abelvalle6188
      @abelvalle6188 3 місяці тому

      Short answer.No. The scientists did not give the patients syphilis. I recommend the book Bad Blood by jones.
      The study started from a public health services attempt to treat the wide spread cases of syphilis in the rural South. Due to many issues (I believe funding and lack of progress since and the time the treatment involved mercury and wasn't very effective).
      From this one of the doctors wanted to try and get something useful from all the effort and essentially began observational study to determine the long term effects of syphilis on African Americans (to support the beliefs that syphilis affects blacks differently I want to say). This is a problem even as a study since all of the subject had already received some sort of treatment, especially since the men weren't idiots and could talk to eachother and find out if they were getting a treatment (meaning there were no controls for comparison as in an actual scientific experiment.).
      During the study Penicillin was discovered (syphilis is caused by sprockets bacteria treatable by the antibiotic) but it was not provided to the subjects.
      Additionally, someone had discovered the funny business and asked the cdc questions about the study but was completely ignored. Years later a journalist rediscovered the study and asked questions about it as well. The cdc ignored the journalist and it squashed the stories for acouple more years until the journalist forces the issue again and that's when it all blew up.

    These men were required to have late stage syphilis, of which there was no cure for until mid 1950s. This study started in 1932. There was no viable treatment for syphilis, and 30 percent of people in Tuskegee had it. The reason the study lasted 40 years was because the subjects lived long full lives, most of them with latent syphilis which is dormant and shows no symptoms. Even IF their organs began failing in their old age due to their syphilis, a 1950s course of penicillin would not have helped them. This program was started and ran by blacks, namely Eunice Rivers a black nurse, and progressive liberals the entire time. Even though they may be crazy leftists, they weren't locking up and torturing black men watching them die from bleeding sores as they take notes and watch. That did not happen. I would take a look at "Tuskegee re examined", an article from 2004 of which youtube has banned from posting a link to.
