   @sj_zero @Nazareno Uh I know you think this may be coming from a good place but it’s awfully close to qanon vaccine conspiracy talk. Things like this cause immense harm to BIPOC communities bc they fuel mistrust of public health authorities.

   It’s really damaging to talk about this without clarifying that this kind of thing simply doesn’t happen anymore

     I sorta feel like the Tuskegee Syphillis experiment should be the final word in "The Government wouldn't do that".
     
     1. It's totally monstrous.
     2. It wasn't some flash in the pan "well we decided to do a thing but we stopped right away", they did this monstrous thing for 40 years.
     3. They had opportunities to end it but decided not to. A "Mere" 28 years in one worker said "Hey, we should stop this it's monstrous" and they refused to after forming a committee.
     4. Everyone agrees it happened.
     
     Shooting a powerful guy is bad, but watching hundreds of innocent people suffer, die and pass on to their wives and children a treatable disease for 40 years while lying to them about treating them because you're curious to see what it looks like is on a level where all manner of evil is totally acceptable.
     
     They see us as state property to be disposed of as they wish.
