Atlantic City residents reluctant to get the Covid-19 vaccination. Maybe due to memories of those Tuskegee experiments? That’s what Councilman Kaleem Shabazz thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlantic City 3rd Ward councilman Kaleem Shabazz<\/a> talked about Covid vaccination fears and Tuskegee experiments on WOND radio, January 14, 2021. Listen > <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shabazz on Vax Fears.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two famous Tuskegee experiments were conducted in the small town of Tuskegee, Alabama between 1932 and 1972. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One was conducted by U.S Public Health beginning in 1932, later called the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other conducted by the U.S. Army Air Corps beginning in 1941, the participants of which were later dubbed “Tuskegee Airmen”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the Tuskegee studies impact willingness of black community to willingly participate in medical research today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. In 1941, the Air Corps began a military “experiment” to see if Black men could be trained as combat pilots and support personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the experiment conducted by Public Health was to observe the progression of a number of diseases, particularly syphilis, untreated in black males.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

African Americans had a deep seated mistrust of the medical community.<\/p>AC Councilman Kaleem Shabazz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mounting pressure for Mayor Marty Small, and his wife, Atlantic City High School principal LaQuetta Small<\/a>. They must get vaccinated in public. Mega-vaccination site to open in Atlantic City next week, says Councilman Shabazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
