This month, we decided to make our Patreon episode available to EVERYONE! We'll be back next week in Hawaii.
In today's episode, we discuss the studies at Fernald State School, where MIT and Quaker Oats partnered to conduct experiments on unsuspecting boys. Then, we discuss the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which is the longest nontherapeutic experiment on humans in the history of medicine. The PHS and CDC intentionally withheld treatment against a life-threatening illness in 399 African American men.
