The Tuskegee Study - The World is Weird 1
Episode 06 | The Tuskegee Study - The World is Weird 1
The tale of a 40-year clinical study with overtones of both race and class, shows just what some people are willing to do once they have otherized their fellow humans. If they're willing to do that, the reasoning goes, what else might they be willing to do? This builds distrust, which feeds conspiracy theories.
This is the shameful story of the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male. A true thing that happened, because the world is weird.
