Given POC history of medical experimentation( gynecological exoeriments, Tuskegee and the theft of Henrietta Lacks very DNA) I think this is very bold.

Much respect to anyone who considers it at all.

1. Given what's going on in schools with Covid-19

colleges are definitely where the vaccine should be tested.

I'm sure those won't be the only schools involved.

2. Given the damaging history of white medical establishment misuse of POC,

The fact that 2 HBCUs, in NOLA, a majority AA city, are in essence "vouching" for uprightness of this testing. I see these 2 unis asking for a leap of faith.


I am 100% sure other colleges& unis will be involved.
