Partisanship Isn’t The Only Reason Why So Many Americans Remain Unvaccinated

Just a word of advice. Keep religion out of this. Sue, would you care to address this?

Do you remember Rosa Parks?

Do you remember the Tuskegee "experiment" (to put it loosely)? Skepticism is not undeserved in the minority communities.

We have a lot to thank Henrietta Lacks:

Henrietta Lacks: science must right a historical wrong

In Henrietta Lacks’s centennial year, researchers must do more to ensure that human cells cannot be taken without consent.

Yes, by saying that anybody who has a problem with any post should be using the "Report" button.

An aside: Half of the people who are participating routinely in the COVID-19 forum want me to stay very far away from moderating duties in it because I participate, the rest think that I either should stop participating in it or moderate every post that doesn't agree with theirs, and a certain few Report every post from certain other posters just for fun. If you're reading here routinely then you already know that TUG Admin is walking a tightrope trying to give us a forum to talk about stuff that has no place at all anywhere else on the forum. We can all agree to pull up our big girl panties and realize that if we can't stand the heat we should get out of the kitchen, or be prepared for the entire COVID forum to be shut down when the mods/Admin finally get disgusted with the games.

OTOH, I think I found that I can apply the ignore function to the entire COVID sub forum. It has degenerated beyond my personal level of tolerance. If others feel similarly, it is an option.

I am not sure it can be discussed here but research Tuskegee Airmen experiments and how race affects your health care treatment.

Tuskegee Syphilis study, I believe. Did not involve the airmen.

Yes thanks for the correction. The result of a google algorithm that finds what you are looking for even though you are not precise.
