Tuskegee Experiment & COVID-19 Vaccine
In this episode I review the controversial Tuskegee Experiment from 1932 that involved 600 Black men from Macon County, Alabama, and the secretive experiment on syphilis by the United States Public Health Service. Learn what was the Tuskegee Experiment and the apology issued by President Bill Clinton in May 1997 for this experiment. I also discussed why there is distrust from the Black community towards the medical system. Plus, why is there such a large discrepancy in who has been vaccinated here in the the State of Florida.
