With Tuskegee, the conspiratorial claim is often made that the men were deliberately infected. They were “just” not informed of their infected status and discouraged from seeking medical care elsewhere. This meant that they often ended up infecting their families.
I understand Black conspiracy theorists who have elaborate claims about Tuskegee - it was such a monstrous action and violation of trust that it is difficult to balance not minimizing it with being clear about what did/did not happen.
You know, I can’t stand dealing with a conspiracy theorist.
I understand why they’re crazy though.
Tuskegee syphilis experiment. MK Uktra. Snowden leaks. Various governments overthrown by the CIA.
I mean, people are crazy and evil knows no bounds.
That said, I prefer to look for the best in the world. I can understand getting lost in all that crap though. People are fucked up.

Tuskegee is why I would understand some black people not wanting to trust in the covid-19 vaccine.
