    ---There are many people who believe in their soul that the Tuskegee experiment was men being injected with syphilis rather than men with syphilis being lied to about being treated. They will hold tight to their belief no matter what evidence to the contrary is shown to them. What was uncovered and admitted to was pretty heinous; so why does this alterative belief held on to so tightly by some? Perhaps, it is because of the social stigma associated with syphilis. Because of the social stigma associated with syphilis, is it preferable to believe that the men could not have contracted syphilis on their own. Thus, it is preferable to believe that the men were injected with syphilis rather than men already with syphilis were being lied to about being treated. ---My questions for these people are: If the men did not already have syphilis why did they go to the clinic in the first place?

    US doctors and others involved in this experiment were also involved in similar experiments in prisons in the US and on several thousand orphans (some as young as 10), mentally ill people, epileptics, soldiers, prostitutes and prisoners in Guatemala also without their knowledge or consent. In Guatemala they wilfully infected many of the subjects or allowed them to be infected by others. One mentally ill woman who was already close to dying was further deliberately infected with gonorrhea in her eyes and urethra as part of the experiment. While many of these experiments were going on Nazzi doctors from Germany were on trial at Nuremberg for carrying out human experiments. The results of a commission investigating some of these atrocities was deliberately released on the same day as the O.J. Simpson murder trial verdict so it would be overshadowed. Several of the doctors and scientists involved later reached high positions in the Public Health Services, Assistant or Surgeon General or top posts at various universities or had scholarships or centers named after them. The US has conducted experiments of various sorts on MILLIONS of its citizens without their knowledge or consent, in schools, prisons, health institutions and on military personnel, releasing a variety of agents and toxins over cities, in subways, stadiums, in public events, in the water supply. Quaker Oats Company and MlT even participated in a government experiment where kids were fed radi0actif oatmeal.

    What a "Toned Down view of the Facts" this video was ! Even the description of the video is largely inaccurate. More like 600 Men were affected and their families. The people targeted for this research were below poverty level, and it was promoted and infiltrated by a black woman they believed and trusted. They were lied to repeatedly about cures, treatments and data. For forty years (40) they were used as Lab Rats. After 40 years of so called research, "They decided no further research needed to be conducted" ! They (The Government) deliberately withheld the treating cure "Penicillin" .....Dr. Tobin is literally misleading people and has just tried to justify research studies ! This research wasn't recognized until 1995 by our government and the damages they inflicted....Bill Clinton had to do a "Public Apology" ! The surviving patients were awarded 9 million dollars or so, but there were only very few still alive. Dr. Tobin goes on to imply that research like this is needed but be aware and "Have a frank conversation with the researchers"....yeah, because they won't lie ! Fast Forward to 2020, the Covid -19 Vaccine didn't even get a study....the vaccine was literally rammed through ! You all remember "Operation Warp Speed"! It is blatantly clear who the enemy is in all of the health catastrophes....CDC, NIH, U.S. Government and now we have organizations such as the UN and WHO. Unfortunately, this video made this sound as if it were this study were necessary to humanity. The information in this video is extremely one sided...do better next time.

    I was just diagnosed with the following: This is from a CT scan that I actually had for a completely different health condition - not my lungs. "Multiple irregular streaky linear densities, fibrosis, atelectasis, subpleural reticulation." This is in the bulibasal and basal region. I do not smoke, don't have a work history of environmental hazards, etc. I don't have a cough and am moderately active. I am waiting to see my PCP, and a referral to a specialist. In the meantime, I would like to understand what is going on with me - this is alarming! I am a 60 year old woman, health - conscious and of thin build.

    There’s problem is many GPs are not aware of this condition, or they simple conflate it with bronchitis, therefore limiting patients’ experience with treatments. For example, some GPs will treat an invective exacerbation with 7 days of antibiotics rather than 14 due to lack of awareness.
