Sharpton Warns Vaccine Might Be Racial Hoax Like Tuskegee Syphilis Study
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/22/2020 5:06:35 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Al Sharpton should be ashamed of himself. On his MSNBC show on Saturday night, Sharpton said that once a coronavirus vaccine becomes available, black leaders will need to be:

"convinced ourselves that the vaccine is fine to take or that it is not something that we’ve experienced in our own history in the black community like the Tuskegee experiment."

He’s probably well acquainted with syphilis too ... having nothing to do with Tuskegee.

To be fair, if we hadn’t actually done this to innocent black men, Sharpton wouldn’t get much traction.

An unbelievably shameful part of American history.

I am NOT paying Sharpton to say this.

But if black people decline to take the vaccine even tho they rightly would be given high priority to obtain it, it’s no skin off my nose, and even an advantage for me.

I’m old enough to have voted in 1960, and accordingly my health isn’t what it once was - tho I’m told I don’t look my age.

So if people want to decline the vaccine, I’ll take their place in line.

To be even more fair, Al Sharpton would be a race-hustling grifter and a con man even if the Tuskegee experiment had never happened.

Revrum Shrimpton is looking for a little scratch out of the deal.

I called this a long time ago. If blacks get it first, its racist experimentation. If blacks dont get it first, its racist.

Well if anyone would know about a hoax, it’s Al Sharpton.

I was about to post the same thought.

Only because Trump touted it. When Bill Gates was touting to make it in China, Sharpton was polishing Xi’s shaft.

If there’s anyone who knows about racial hoaxes, it’s Sharpy.

The vaccine will include an ingredient that adversely effects only blacks. Beware!!!

Was it developed by ‘interlopers’, like AIDS was developed as a weapon against blacks (by diamond merchants, of course)?

(Never mind that Planned Parenthood is truly trying to kill blacks off as fast as they can.)

Not all white folks are convinced the vaccine is safe either.

We can read about the Tuskegee Experiments as well and while it may not be *part of our history*, people can learn from history.

It’s not like the government hasn’t given us plenty of reason to not trust it when it comes to health care even without Tuskegee.
