President Joe Biden on Thursday blamed vaccine hesitancy among black Americans on the past experimentation by the U.S. government on the Tuskegee Airman, conflating the famed World War II pilots with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.
“The reason why it’s been harder to get African Americans, initially, to get vaccinated because they are used to being experimented on — the Tuskegee Airmen and others,” Biden said.
While originating in Tuskegee, Alabama, the Tuskegee Airman are famous for being the first group of African American fighter pilots to serve in the U.S. Army Air Corps. First trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama in 1941, they would later go on to fly more than 15,000 individual sorties in Europe and North Africa during World War II. Altogether, the estimated number of participants ranged from 15,000 to 19,000, including pilots, mechanics, flight instructors, doctors, and more.
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, on the other hand, was an experiment conducted by the U.S. government from 1932-1972 to “observe the progression of a number of diseases, particularly syphilis, untreated in black males.” More than 600 men agreed to participate in the study in exchange for meals, transportation, and health care....

Gas Pump Biden always there to ad Gas to a fire.
Biden has always been an idiot.
Now he’s a senile idiot.
This is what happens when you have a ding dong for president.
Hey - it wasn’t over when the Germans attacked Tuskegee and the Tuskegee Airmen because they thought it was Pearl Harbor...
“Let me tell ya ‘bout the Tuskagee Red Tails an’ how they got t’be that way...”
We can be certain that syphilis is at the forefront of Xiden’s mind because it is a major issue in his family. His dementia is prohibits him to compartmentalize thoughts. Hunter must be going through a difficult time with syphilis right now.
I was gob-smacked, but I should not have been.
Resident Biden is clearly non compos mentis, and our Potempkin Enemedia keeps pretending that he is in charge somehow.
The fact that the Establishment Media won't ask questions about Mr. Biden's mental competence is all the proof you need as to why Americans should actively distrust their news media less than any other major country (per another thread).
I was gonna say...this is old, or he’s an even slower learner than I thought.
What an insult to the Red Tails. If Trump had done this . . .
They put him on the road tour to get him out of DC. So he can talk about himself and his past.
Well it’s become clear that biden is a total representation of his constituents...a non compose mentus moron...he is just as insane and ignorant as those who voted for him...
Tuskegee — first traffic light coming from Auburn traveling to Montgomery. The college there was known as the Institute. Dead quiet town back in the 1960s.
So according to Joe, 600 black guys took part in a study and that renders Joe to say blacks are used to be experimented on?
Whoa, Joe you are a moron.
The very embodiment of his voters’ intelligence.
The Germans attacked Tuskegee because of the many P-51 Mustangs that were parked there.
“Who is in charge of the clattering train?
The axles creak and the couplings strain;
And the pace is hot, and the points are near,
And Sleep has deadened the driver’s ear;
And the signals flash through the night in vain,
For Death is in charge of the clattering train.”
And old Uncle Sniffy is going "bibbity bibbity bibbity..."
Yep, the President this country so richly deserves.
C’mon man! Criticizing the President is against all men and women being you know, you know, the thing!
No!!!! Please NO!!!
I would be dying laughing if anyone else had said that.
