Supplementary "The medical establishment has a long history of mistreating Black Americans -- from gruesome experiments on enslaved people to the forced sterilizations of Black women and the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study that withheld treatment from hundreds of Black men for decades to let doctors track the course of the disease. So it's not surprising that just 42 percent of Black Americans said in November they'd be willing to take a COVID-19 vaccine." https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/newsletter-article/2021/jan/medical-mistrust-among-black-americans #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC #PowerControlPopulationEugenicsForcedAndCoercedSterilization #PhenomnMedicalExperimentTuskegeeStudyOfUntreatedSyphilisInTheNegroMale #PhenomnVirusCOVID19Pandemic #LiteralVaccine

"This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Tuskegee Experiments. During 1932 to 1972, The CDC and Public Health services, injected 400 Black Alabama men with syphilis as a science experiment. 100 men were killed as a result."

Context #MagazineUSTheNewYorkerJelaniCobb "Yet, for Black America, the story extends far beyond Trump. In September, when Walter Kimbrough, the president of Dillard University, a historically black institution in Louisiana, announced that he had volunteered for a vaccine trial, and encouraged his students do likewise, the Internet exploded with references to the Tuskegee experiment. In that four-decade-long medical scheme, which began in 1932, nearly four hundred African-American men with syphilis were led to believe that they were receiving treatment, but were, in fact, left untreated, so that doctors could chart the course of the disease. In the nearly fifty years since the experiment was exposed, it has become a central reference point for understanding Black Americans' relationship to the medical establishment. The story of Henrietta Lacks--a Black woman who died in 1951 of cervical cancer, and whose cancerous cells had been harvested for research, without her knowledge, by Johns Hopkins Hospital, replicated, sent to labs around the world, and later sold commercially--has likewise become shorthand for medical exploitation. That history, chronicled in works such as Harriet Washington's 'Medical Apartheid' and Dorothy Roberts's 'Killing the Black Body,' is, in part, what hampered efforts to recruit African-American volunteers for the trials, and now hampers efforts to get African-Americans vaccinated. In this context, conversations about the vaccine are inevitably balancing acts between the unknown likelihood of contracting, or succumbing to, the virus and the known medical history of the African-American population. Such concerns are not walled-off by discipline, which is why the coercive approach of the N.Y.P.D. this spring, and the events that sparked the months of Black Lives Matter protests this summer, also contribute to a broader skepticism about--if not the science itself--the good faith of the system in which it exists. On Monday, Thomas Fisher, a Black E.R. physician at the University of Chicago Medicine, told me that 'our essential people are getting sick, but being pushed to deliver food and drive Ubers, and things like that, without P.P.E.' He added, 'It's hard to imagine that we won't also reflect maybe these same inequities with the distribution and uptake of this vaccine.'" https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/african-american-resistance-to-the-covid-19-vaccine-reflects-a-broader-problem #EDUUSDillardUniversityWalterKimbrough [Wikipedia] #ToponymAmericaNorthUSLouisianaNewOrleans #1932_ #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC #ConditionSexuallyTransmittedInfectionSTISyphilis #1951_ #ConditionCancerCervical #EDUUSJohnsHopkinsUniversity #PowerControlExploitationMedical #2007_MedicalApartheid [Wikipedia] #1997_KillingTheBlackBody [Wikipedia] #OrgUSNYPD #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM #EDUUSUniversityOfChicagoMedicineThomasFisher #BrandUber #LiteralPersonalProtectiveEquipmentPPE #CauseEqualityEconomic

"THE FEAR OF THERAPY
...wouldn't want to sit down with a German to discuss the trauma they still feel from the Holocaust. Just as you could understand why an Armenian might not want to see a Turkish therapist, or a Palestinian might not feel comfortable opening up to an Israeli therapist. Well, the same applies to African-Americans or a Palestinian might not feel comfortable opening up to an and whites.
There is still a basic mistrust of any sort of white-run system that claims it can 'help' black people. We still remember the Tuskegee experiment, in which the 'doctors' told black share-croppers they were getting free health care, but in reality they were shooting them up with syphilis. Just as black folks saw how housing projects were hyped as a way to provide blacks with cheap, affordable housing but in reality served as a form of government-sponsored segregation. And let's not even get into how the community views police officers whose job it is to 'serve and protect' tax-paying African-American citizens. So yeah, we're still a little suspicious.
Because of this mistrust, the way black folks have dealt with their oppression over the years is to handle their business internally. Privately. In the community. Or better yet, in the family."
