Tuskegee syphilis experiment - Wikipedia
The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study or Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment (/tʌsˈkiːɡiː/ tus-KEE-ghee)[1] was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama under the guise of receiving free health care from the United States government.[1]

The Public Health Service started working on this study in 1932, in collaboration with Tuskegee University, a historically black college in Alabama. Investigators enrolled in the study a total of 600 impoverished, African American sharecroppers from Macon County, Alabama. Of these men, 399 had previously contracted syphilis before the study began, and 201[2] did not have the disease. The men were given free medical care, meals, and free burial insurance for participating in the study. After funding for treatment was lost, the study was continued without informing the men they would never be treated. None of the men infected were ever told they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic was proven to successfully treat syphilis. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the men were told they were being treated for "bad blood", a local term for various illnesses that include syphilis, anemia, and fatigue.


Reports of forced sterilization of Native American women began to surface in the 1970s.[1][2] Of the 100,000 to 150,000 Native American women of childbearing age, 3,400 to 70,000 of these women were involuntarily sterilized through tubal ligation or hysterectomy.[3] They were not given a choice to refuse or accept to undergo the sterilization procedure. Many were manipulated into thinking that they would risk losing their welfare aid or even their lives should they refuse to undergo a sterilization procedure. However, the procedure was most often done under the pretense of a check up or abortion, and most of the victims didn't know they were sterilized until years afterwards.

The sterilizations had an appreciable effect on the fertility rates of Native American women. In the 1970s, the average birth rate of Native American women was 3.79 children, but by 1980 the birth rate had fallen to 1.8 children.[4]

you sound dumb and ignorant

The Tuskegee syphilis experiment isn't a conspiracy, it was a documented clinical study that actually happened I don't think anyone consider it a conspiracy, when people talk about conspiracy theories they mostly talk about 9/11 and stuff like
that.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories


putting every conspiracy theory in a box makes you feel safe doesn't it.

instead of allowing nuance and actual comprehension, you just dig your head in the sand

:gucci:

When did I say all of that? what is it with the hostility and the unnecessary insults?

Doesn't account for people who aren't seeking to feel special or unique - I like to read CTs & believe there's always some truth, no matter how small, to every huge lie, etc.
