A disturbing vaccine experiment backed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been facing accusations of eugenics and has garnered comparisons to the racist Tuskegee syphilis experiment \u2014 yet it\u2019s moving forward in the African nation of Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n

So continues the Trump administration\u2019s fundamentally racist<\/a> strategy when it comes to Africa<\/a>, a continent the president and his allies have sought to exploit<\/a> and strip of its resources, from precious minerals<\/a> to health data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I wrote about<\/a> the Kennedy-backed experiment \u2014 in which thousands of African infants are to be denied the hepatitis B vaccine for the first six weeks after birth \u2014 back in January. Around that time, it was suspended by African officials amid outrage over the project\u2019s ethics and its similarities with eugenics and the deadly Tuskegee experiment, which saw hundreds of Black men denied syphilis treatment for decades in the name of medical experimentation, starting in the 1930s.<\/p>\n

To be clear, questions about the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns have already been asked and answered in the affirmative<\/a> by reputable scientists.<\/p>\n
