Should we study the effect of untreated diseases when treatment is available?

Not treating a highly communicable diseases in predominantly BIPOC community. Gee, that doesn't sound familiar or relevant during the ongoing pandemic.

The people who liked the video before watching the video is the equivalent of unconditionally loving a child🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I first learned about this horrific tragedy, I was dismayed and shocked that we had never been taught about it in medical school. I was later corrected by a classmate that there had been mentions of it in passing, as a throwaway in lectures, which explained why I hadn’t remembered it a decade later. Which almost made it worse, as they didn’t not teach it out of simple ignorance, but that the lecturers knew about it but didn’t deem it important enough to spend more time on.

I honestly had no idea that other people didn't know about this! It was like required learning in several different psych and science courses I took as an example of why ethics committees have to exist for all experiments and what not do.

this reminds me of an experiment with nutrition supplements in africa for young malnourished children. the control group got no nutritional supplement.

I think it would be cool if you guys explored what the united states would look like if -conservatives were allowed to change what they wanted -Liberals were allowed to change what they wanted - green party suddenly got bigger

Sci Guys: Laugh Responsibly

the very interesting difference between this and the usage of HeLa cells is that Henrietta's cells were used for immense good and the science itself was nothing less than essential. The fact that she had no say, and really that her family had no say or compensation is the issue. With this, there's no reason this should ever have happened and it's not even bittersweet, like HeLa, it's just frustrating and painful to hear about.

I love these podcasts 😂 I prefer the yt videos for some bizarre reason

I would love to see a video exploring the Milgram Experiment, particularly the science that goes into choice and decision making (on a chemical level), but also the long term repercussions it had on its participants

Pregnant people, not pregnant women. Corry 🤦‍♂️ Well, it's not THAT important. Just a reminder. Also can I just thank this podcast and Corry specifically for mentioning Tom Scott several times in the episodes? Wow I found a brilliant man and informative and educational entertainment that I watch wile waiting for new sciguys episode. And you know what would be cool? Tom Scott/TechDif collab with SciGuys. That would be a dream come true.

Just found this Chanel thanks to Noah, I'm now addicted!!!!

The first time I heard about this 'experiment' I cried so hard. The fact that innocent men were treated like utter shit and abused by the public health service, purely for the colour of their skin.

this podcast is so underrated!!! i know you guys will blow up soon

Felt instantly happy when I heared Corry's voice starting this episode.

Great podcast, really become a huge fan in the last few weeks after I found this podcast on Spotify! This was one of the most educational podcast I've listened to, sad but necessary to learn about. Can't wait to binge the rest of your podcasts! (May I just point out that Ireland right beside the UK was also horribly colonised and was under British rule for 800 years and our language was almost completely eradicated, plantations forced people from their land, people murdered). We only became a self-governing Dominion on 6 December 1922...no not that long ago really...)

2:30 watch for the foot😂

Another excellent episode. You folks are amazing.

Reminds me a bit of a experiment done on patients in a mental institution in southern Sweden, performed during the 1940s and 50s, known as The Vipeholm Experiments (Vipeholmsexperimenten). The initial reason for the study was to scientifically back up the theory that sugar and candy caused dental caries, but even after the scientists had gathered enough scientific backup they continued to use the patients as experimental props, but without governmental approval. Even after norweigan scientists hade proved that sodium fluoride could prevent cavities, the experiments continued. Sweden has a big history of institutional racial biology, and although these experiments weren't performed om non-whites exclusively, where the pseudoscientific ideology declared that people who in one way or another didn't contribute to the welfare state and "the grater good of the nation" were not equal to those who did, which included racial minorities, those who were assumed to be sexually deviant and people with mental and physical disabilities, etc. Disabled people, as for this instance, were incapacitated and thought to be not able to feel any or only little physical and emotional pain, which then could morally back up the experiments done on them. The patients did not sign any consent forms or did not receive any economical compensation, to my knowledge, and most of the patients have passed away now.

Hiya, I listen to you guys to go to sleep, I would love some more about historical figures in science and physics 💕 thank you for being unapologetically yourselfs!

Finally going through and watching all of the sci guys episodes, and oh my god this one is so much. I knew a little about this experiment, but I didn’t realize the full extent of it or how recent it was. Absolutely horrifying to think that just 60 years ago, people were allowing this to happen. 60 years ago! And people try to act like these things are far in the past. I forgot how people in the US (myself included) are so far removed from all the atrocities this country has committed

Great Content 👊🏿💯

The stanford prion experiment as it lead to human rights in experiments in the 70s so that's probably why this was shut down

This gives me some “little Albert” vibes, would love for you guys to talk about that experiment

wait, what did they do with smallpox? was it in 2002?

Havent watched the episode yet but i learned about this experiment in my social problems class its gonna be interesting knowing about what happened seeing white people react to the atrocity that this was

loved the episode, but I really wished you didn't say "pregnant women" and "mothers", when there are pregnant people who aren't women. it made me kinda dysphoric and made it hard to listen, which is a shame because I really wanna learn through your podcast.
