Somehow I got the impression you knew something about, or had an interest in Tuskegee, a simple ‘I don’t know’ would have been a less hostile response.
Hey Ansel12! From what I read, the Public Health Service ran the Tuskeegee experiment. The participants in the study had the STD but were told it was a “blood” study. They were offered free health care and funeral services. The Public Health Service is now the Department of Health and Human Services. The main difference between these two cases is that it appears the Tuskeegee men contracted the disease on their own vs. the government deliberately infecting them for study. Both wrong, of course.
