[TIL] The US Public Health Service gave 600 black men syphilis and studied them for 40 years

in #todayilearned8 years ago

None of the men infected were ever told they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic became proven for the treatment of syphilis.

I think it's great you spread information like that. But can't you write a bit more about it? I'm interested in your well-reflected opinion and this will contribute certainly too to Steemit as a plattform to share original, quality content. You would most certainly get more upvotes too if you did. Cheers
